Review:
"If you happen to be watching or listening to a game, do you wonder what the announcer means by 'the neighborhood play, ' 'can of corn' or 'golden sombrero?' How to Speak Baseball, an Illustrated Guide to Ballpark Banter, by James Charlton and Sally Cook, is an informative, entertaining read. The authors have compiled a list of obscure, old and newer baseball terms from 'ace' to 'you can't walk off the island.' "
The Daily Pilot
"an elegantly designed little book...capturing the colorful, frequently fanciful vocabulary that describes the world of baseball."
