* Review: Why a Curveball Curves: The Incredible Science of Sports

April 17, 2008

From The Wall Street Journal. Sure it covers other spors, too, but baseball comes first.

“Former Popular Mechanics staffer and frequent contributor Frank Vizard admits to gravitating toward baseball, confessing in his introduction, ‘If Popular Mechanics can be said to have a favorite sport, it would be baseball, as that game has received the most attention in its pages.'”

Upshot:

Read this book and you’ll feel smarter and better informed about the sports you watch or play. You might not develop [Wayne] Gretzky’s preternatural in-game intuition, but then again, that may never be explained.
