The Cheater's Guide to Baseball by Derek Zumsteg

thomcat's review against another edition

4.0

Mariner fan Derek Zumsteg writes about how baseball and cheating evolved together, covering the quasi-legal to downright dirty. His last chapter makes some solid points about how various cheats (trick pitches, corked bats and spitters) led us to where we are today, and I agree. The earlier chapters are hit-or-miss, but usually quite humorous. A solid 3.5 stars, and a worthy read for baseball fans.

This is a great, funny, little book. It's all about cheating in baseball, how it's done, how it impacts the sport, and which ploys used to be legal. A must-read for any baseball fan.
