Imagine receiving an invitation to your boss's party to watch a baseball game. Horror strikes because you don't know the first thing about the sport-or maybe you'd like to know more. Or, you love your job, and you want to impress your supervisor and colleagues. But what's a foul ball? Why are those men running on the field and charging about wildly? Before you go nuts trying to learn the language of baseball on your own, read Game-Day Goddess: Learning Baseball's Lingo to understand the game. Let this book familiarize you with the expressions the broadcasters use on TV and radio; grasp what's happening when those men on the field in blue shirts thrust their arms high above their heads.

A handy reference covering the most important phrases and words used in today's game at the pro and college level, this concise dictionary features simple entries. With this resource, readers will never again be at a loss for the meaning of a baseball phrase or feel foolish because they don't know what's going on out on the field.

Dating back to 1869 as an organized professional sport, the game of baseball is not only the oldest professional sport in North America, but also symbolizes much more. Walt Whitman described it as “our game, the American game,” and George Will compared calling baseball “just a game” to the Grand Canyon being “just a hole.” Countless others have called baseball “the most elegant game,” and to those who have played it, it’s life. The Historical Dictionary of Baseball is primarily devoted to the major leagues it also includes entries on the minor leagues, the Negro Leagues, women’s baseball, baseball in various other countries, and other non-major league related topics. It traces baseball, in general, and these topics individually, from their beginnings up to the present. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 900 cross-referenced entries on the roles of the players on the field—batters, pitchers, fielders—as well as non-playing personnel—general managers, managers, coaches, and umpires. There are also entries for individual teams and leagues, stadiums and ballparks, the role of the draft and reserve clause, and baseball’s rules, and statistical categories. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the sport of baseball.
