5.0 out of 5 stars Splendid Book!, 23 Aug 1999
By A Customer
A great treatise on hitting by one of the greatest hitters who ever lived. Ted's theories will never go out of date. This is must reading for any baseball fan or for anyon who was to improve their hiting. Also recommended is his Hit List book and My Turn At Bat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic teaching tool!!!, 24 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Several years ago I coached a team of youth all-stars. We were two tournaments away from the world series when we lost in a championship game. If I would have had this book then, there is no doubt in my mind that we would have gone to the series and won it. If you are in a similiar situation get this book before you get eliminated and regret to tell about how if you would have had this book you would have won the series.Incredible book. A must, must have. I'm looking forward to reaching the series now.
