Introduction

Frrr!
Did
you
hear
that?
That
sounded
like
a
hit
or
a
pitch.
That
was
actually
a
hit.
If
 you
run
through
this
book
you
will
learn
the
baseball
positions,
equipment,
teams,
 famous
players,
baseball
rules
and
championships.
If
you
read
this
book
you
will
be
 an
expert
at
baseball!

Catch
That
Ball
Now!

Did
you
know
that
there
are
different
positions
in
baseball?
The
positions
are:
short
 stop,
first
base,
catcher,
pitcher,
second
base,
left
field,
right
field,
and
center
field.

A
 short
stop
stands
between
2nd
and
3rd
bases
and
stops
the
infield
balls.

He
can
go
in
 the
outfield,
to
2nd
base,
and
to
3rd
base.

The
first
baseman
stands
at
first
base
and
 holds
his
glove
out
and
catches
it.

The
catcher
squats
behind
the
plate
and
gives
the
 pitcher
hand
signals,
telling
him
what
kind
of
pitch
to
throw.

The
pitcher
stands
on
 the
mound
and
throws
different
kinds
of
pitches
like
fast
balls,
cut
fast
balls,
curve
 balls,
knuckle
balls,
screw
balls,
plam
balls
(they
go
up
and
then
down),
slider
balls,
 and
sinker
balls.

The
second
basemen
stands
at
second
base
and
catches
balls
to
 make
a
double
play.

Left
field
stands
in
the
left
field
and
catches
pop
flies.

The
right
 fielder
does
the
same
thing
as
the
left
fielder,
just
on
the
opposite
side.

The
center
 fielder
tries
to
rob
players
of
home
runs
by
jumping
and
climbing
the
wall
to
catch
a
 home
run.

Every
player
keeps
each
position
all
the
time
but
if
they
get
injured,
a
sub
 takes
over
for
the
rest
of
the
season.
If
you
play
baseball,
don’t
be
the
catcher
at
all
 because
the
balls
will
come
very
fast!

Hall
of
Famers

Guess
what?
There
are
famous
players
that
are
called
Hall
of
 Famers.
Ok,
Hall
of
Famers
are
really
really
famous
players.

They


are
famous
for
breaking
records
and
being
the
best
baseball
players.

A
Hall
of
 Famer
is
like
Babe
Ruth
or
Ricky
Henderson.
Hall
of
Famers
are
in
a
place
called
the
 Hall
of
Fame,
located
in
Cooperstown,
New
York.
You
can
go
and
see
Ricky
 Henderson’s
spikes
and
a
picture
of
Babe
Ruth
calling
his
shot
in
the
1932
World
 Series.
Also,
you
can
see
a
picture
of
the
1986
World
Series
when
Dale
Strawberry
 hit
a
single
past
first
baseman
Bill
Buckner
from
the
Boston
Red
Sox.
If
you
like
 baseball,
act
like
a
Hall
of
Famer.

We
Got
The
Trophy

Did
you
know
that
there
is
one
exactly
one
trophy
in
baseball?
The
trophy
 is
called
the
World
Series
trophy.
Its
color
is
silver
and
there
are
flags
of
all
 the
teams
in
the
Major
League.

The
World
Series
is
nine
games
where
two
 teams
play
each
other
to
see
who
is
the
best
in
America.

One
team
comes
 from
the
American
league
and
the
other
comes
from
the
National
league.
 The
team
that
wins
4
games
first
is
the
winner
of
the
series.

The
winners
 spray
champagne
all
over
the
players
in
the
clubhouse!

If
you
read
this
 book
all
the
time
you
will
be
an
expert
at
the
World
Series
trophy.

Best
Fans
Ever

Every
single
season
fans
from
all
over
the
world
love
to
watch
baseball!
When
fans
 watch
baseball
they
get
really
excited.
Like
when
the
team
player
hits
a
home
run
or
 rob
a
home
run!
If
you
read
this
paragraph
you
would
be
a
fan
of
baseball
like
me!
A
 fan
is
a
person
who
cheers
for
there
home
team
like
the
Yankees
or
the
Red
Sox.
It’s
 hard
to
be
a
fan
because
you
have
to
choose
one
team
and
you
can’t
choose
another
 team
because
you
can’t
have
two
favorite
teams.
That’s
what
happened
to
me
with
 the
Yankees
,

Philles
and
the
RED
SOX.
If
you
like
to
be
a
fan
be
one
like
me

 SLACKMAN.

DO
NOT
TOUCH!

You
need
to
play
is
a
bat

,
batting
helmet
so
you
don’t
get
hit
in
the
head

batting
 gloves,
 hats
,
gloves
,
balls
so
you
can


thow
the
ball
to
get
the
runner
out
and
the
stuff
for
the
catcher
and
there
unioforms.
 If
you
play
baseball
you
will
need
all
the
equipment
I
told
you
because
if
you
don’t
 have
the
equipment
you
can’t
play
baseball.
Know
you
can
buy
the
equipment
in
the
 baseball
stores
in
the
USA!
All
the
equipment
will
be
a
lots
of
$money.
If
you

a
 lot
of
$
you
can
buy
all
of
the
equipment.
