There is no question that the physical and mental demands of the sport of baseball are rigorous. Not only is it difficult to successfully hit a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball in front of a crowd of passionate spectators, but it is also challenging to navigate an often confusing system that leads players through youth leagues, high school, college, and for a lucky few, the Minor and Major Leagues. Rod Humphries, sports journalist, television writer, and former administrator of a worldwide professional tennis tour, shares his personal experiences and advice from experts in this complete insider’s guide designed to help players, their parents, and baseball fans understand how Major Leaguers “pay their dues.” Humphries, who closely studied the entire baseball assembly line when his son was drafted out of high school by the Houston Astros, offers valuable information on: • The professional baseball structure • Little League vs. select/travel ball • Player analysis and recruitment • Scholarships and coaching camps • Draft day decisions, salaries, and career chances Little League to the Major Leagues provides proven tips and time-tested advice for any family or player who dares to dream of journeying beyond youth baseball to high school, college, and the professional game.

A most amazing book that was put together over 40 years, when a Yankee batboy asked the players to write their greatest thrill in baseball on a questionnaire in the early 1970's. Discovering these responses twenty years later, the batboy, who was in the baseball card business, decided to contact every living current and former major leaguer, and ask them what their greatest thrill and most memorable moment in baseball was. The response was unbelievable. Thousands of players wrote what was endearing and most meaningful to them. Interesting occurrences that only they could relate to, yet the side of baseball, which is at the very heart of the National Pastime from John Paciorek, who played only one major league game, but finished with the highest batting average with at least 3 at-bats to John Miller, who was the first Yankee to have a homerun his first at bat and then 4 years later hit a homerun his last at bat in the big leagues. Finishing with a total of 2 career homers. All these stories are from the Major Leagues, "who did this In Their Own Write."

How good was Negro League Baseball (1920-1948)? Some experts maintain that the quality of play was equal to that of the American and National Leagues. Some believe the Negro Leagues should be part of Major League Baseball's official record and that more Negro League players should be in the Hall of Fame. Skeptics contend that while many players could be rated highly, NL organizations were minor league at best. Drawing on the most comprehensive data available, including stats from more than 2,000 interracial games, this study finds that black baseball was very good indeed. Negro leaguers beat the big leaguers more than half the time in head-to-head contests, demonstrated stronger metrics within their own leagues and excelled when finally allowed into the majors. The authors document the often duplicitous manner in which MLB has dealt with the legacy of the Negro Leagues, and an appendix includes the scores and statistics from every known contest between Negro League and Major League teams.

In the 1970s, after a decade of stagnant fan interest that seemed to signal the demise of Major League Baseball, the game saw growth and change. In 1972, the players became the first in professional sports to go on strike. Four years later, contractual changes allowed those with six years in the majors to become free agents, leading to an unprecedented increase in salaries. Developments in the play of the game included new ballparks with faster fields and artificial turf, and the introduction of the designated hitter in 1973. Eminent personalities emerged from the dugout, including many African Americans and Latinos. Focusing on the stars who debuted from 1970 through 1979, this book covers the highs and lows of more than 1,300 players who gave fans the most exciting decade baseball has ever seen.

About the Book “The outcome isn’t in doubt. These guys will hit. I’m life’s third guarantee.” – the Third Guarantee In your hands you hold the answers to hitting major league down/away pitches, off or over the open side power alley wall. You also hold the answers to driving in a runner on second base with two outs. There isn’t a talent shortage in major league baseball. There is a skills shortage; specifically, 6-9 hitters who can drive outside pitches and breaking balls away, off or over the open side power alley wall. Build the muscle memory associated with these two skill sets by: - Re-creating pitcher Release Point with variables controlled - Placing your batting tee on the inside edge or the outside edge of the plate during drills - Placing the batting tee on the outside edge of the plate even with your back knee - Using hands/hip swing mechanics to accelerate the bat head through outside Point of Contact In 2003 while working with the Third Guarantee, a 7-year major league veteran hitting .207 said, “No one has told me this. No one has showed me this. No one has told me to prepare this way. I’ve never seen this kind of instruction.” With 6 hours of instruction over 3 weekends, the 7-year veteran hit .276 the last 3 months of the season. He hit for more power, drove in more runs, and improved his walk to strikeout ratio. Struggling major league hitters don’t need this book if their muscle memory development includes the four above guidelines. About the Author Alan Khoury has offered the Third Guarantee’s answers to players, major league team executives, owners, and agents for 17 years. From day one of his offering efforts, none of these people said the provided information was incorrect. He now offers these answers to any struggling hitter.
