Product Info Reviews

Description:

Since the game's origins, people have always tried to improve baseball and its equipment. All the baseball inventions of the last hundred years -- the ones that made it and many that didn't -- are here in one entertaining volume. From mechanical umpires and bases that ring when the runner touches them to semi-automatic fungo bats, all are described in humorous prose and many are illustrated with U.S. Patent Office drawings and photos.
