Have you ever wondered why baseball players are said to be In the Hole, Stepping in the Bucket, On the Bump, Flashing Leather or Getting on Their Horse?Baseballedgy - Baseball Expressions & Terminology Handbook was written to explain to players and spectators the many fun, useful, and unique baseball terms and phrases. Baseball has carried down numerous phrases and terms and the language continues to expand. Most of the terms in the book are idioms, which means that they are completely different than what a person usually thinks of when they hear them. Examples of baseball idioms are Bullpen, Ducks on the Pond, Frozen Rope, Rolling a Pair, Hot Corner, Merry Go Round and Snow Cone. The book describes these terms and idioms related to the baseball field itself, along with those associated with batting, base running, pitching, and fielding.Baseballedgy is full of colorful illustrations and is a fun book to read. It can serve as a 'go-to' reference for young players who are learning the game and expanding their baseball related vocabulary. Reading the book together will provide children, families, and friends with an enjoyable and educational experience.'What Andrew has done with the language of the game is refreshing to see. Baseball has carried down with it so many little phrases and it is still expanding! That’s what makes the game more than a game.
