Description

Explain away your bad at-bats and imperfect pitches-and have your friends laugh at the same time! In Baseball's Best Excuses, author Joshua Shifrin takes a witty approach in helping baseball players make sense of their worst days on the diamond. The next time a player leads his or her team in defeat, he or she can always explain the woeful performance with "The guy batting after me is terrible." Or after a bad pitching outing, players might try to explain the mishap with, "I couldn't control my fastball." Shifrin has crafted loads of funny-but all-too-real-excuses for pros and amateurs alike. Examples include: The pitcher was taking too much time between pitches. The fans behind home plate were distracting. I'm not used to the dimensions in this park. The manager had me playing out of position. Any many more! Whether you want to motivate the amateur in your life or laugh away embarrassing mistakes in your own game, Baseball's Best Excuses is a must-read. Complete with laugh-out-loud full-color cartoons, this book makes for the perfect gift.
