Baseball is set apart from other sports by many things, but few are more distinctive than the intricate systems of coded language that govern action on the field and give baseball its unique appeal. During a nine-inning game, more than 1,000 silent instructions are given-from catcher to pitcher, coach to batter, fielder to fielder, umpire to umpire-and without this speechless communication the game would simply not be the same. Baseball historian Paul Dickson examines for the first time the rich legacy of baseball's hidden language, offering fans everywhere a smorgasbord of history and anecdote. Whether detailing the origins of the hit-and-run, the true story behind the home run that gave "Home Run" Baker his nickname, Bob Feller's sign-stealing telescope, Casey Stengel's improbable method of signaling his bullpen, the impact of sign stealing on the Giants' miraculous comeback in 1951, or the pitches Andy Pettitte tipped off that altered the momentum of the 2001 World Series, Dickson's research is as thorough as his stories are entertaining. A roster of baseball's greatest names and games, past and present, echoes throughout, making The Hidden Language of Baseball a unique window on the history of our national pastime.

What can baseball teach us about language, culture, and society? The first book-length exploration of multilingualism in professional sports, Multilingual Baseball provides an intimate look at language diversity in the transnational world of baseball. Based on extensive interviews and observations in the US and the Dominican Republic, the book foregrounds the voices of current and former players, coaches, front office personnel, international scouts, language teachers, and interpreters, with baseball experience in the Dominican Republic, Cuba, South Korea, Taiwan, and the United States. Engaging a wide range of foundational concepts within sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, and linguistic and cultural anthropology, the analysis reveals the relevance of bilingualism to the social and economic realities of professional baseball as a transnational business. It also illuminates day-to-day encounters with linguistic and cultural difference on the field, in clubhouses, and in communities around the world. Through this linguistic lens, the book delves into social issues in diverse societies by connecting interactions within baseball to the broader challenges of immigration, race, and demographic change. While grounded in the experiences of Spanish and English speakers in US Major League Baseball organizations, Multilingual Baseball presents the transnational game as a microcosm of globalizing societies around the world, inviting readers to consider what we can learn from the bilingual understandings and misunderstandings that arise in everyday baseball interactions.

It doesn't matter how old you are or the level at which you play: If you can hit, you are not going to be that 3 inning, one at-bat guy. You are going to be in the line-up every day and the coach is going to find a place for you to play. If that's your goal, this book is for you. It not only works to make sure that you understand your own mechanics, but will ensure that you can figure out when things are off and how to fix them, how to read and adjust from one swing to the next, how to develop and master the swing path that catches the eye of scouts, college coaches and travel team coaches, how to get inside the head of the pitcher, the in-game strategies you can use to know what the pitcher is going to throw before he does and how to approach different hitting situations...and so much more. The book is broken down into easy to read and follow chapters dealing with just about everything there is to hitting. The language is consistent throughout and designed to make sure the hitter can "translate" what coaches are trying to say. For players, parents and coaches, there are 10+ drills that will help hitters master the ability to hit to all fields and to develop a more aggressive approach that works successfully in a larger hitting zone. There is also a chapter dedicated to finding a personal hitting coach and evaluating his effectiveness. Finally, there is a bonus chapter on hitting the curveball. I have coached and taught baseball for more than 35 years, including three different stints in the Dominican Republic. I have also given more than 5000 individual lessons and have coached and trained dozens of players that have made it to professional ball, including one that is currently vying for Rookie of the Year honors in the American League. While there are countless coaches out there that teach hitting, it takes a fluency in the language of hitting and an understanding of the process to gauge how well they are getting their message across. That's why anyone serious about moving forward in the game needs this book. Not only will it advance every aspect of the hitter's knowledge and approach, but it will give him and you, as the parent, the edge you need to see through the cliches and double talk. Whether a college player, an high school player, a travel league player or a Little League player, this book is guaranteed to provide the confidence it takes to make a good hitter and to develop the skills, tools and instincts which lead to in-game success."
