Review # 1 was written on 2011-04-12 00:00:00 Kenneth Phillips ‘A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.’ Ebby Calvin LaLoosh in the movie, Bull Durham (after hearing it from ‘Crash’ Davis) For all the changes in the sport world, baseball has changed the least. That’s part of the joy in discovering this gem of a book. What’s the difference between an antique car and a classic? The antique sits in the garage until you take it to an auto show while the classic is ready whenever you want to take a drive. The Science of Hitting is a classic. Reading it, I discovered that much of what Williams wrote almost fifty years ago is still being repeated by batting coaches, managers and the players, themselves. Examples: using a light bat; doing your homework on pitchers; leading your swing with your hips. Even if you are not going to the batting cage, or trying to make the team, there is plenty in the book that is pleasing. Read it and you will become a better observer of the game. Read it and you will learn a lot about the best batters that Ted Williams saw during his many decades in the sport.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-07-16 00:00:00 Neil Shiroma This book did wonders for my wiffle ball slugging pct. If you're serious about baseball and hitting, check this book out. Like all old men, he rambles on about old stories and such, but sit & listen...try it out, and keep what works for you.
