Play Ball! (How Do We Do That, Exactly?)
Not sure what rounding third and headed for home means? Between "ace", "can of corn", "pickle", and "high cheese", baseball lingo can be hard to follow. Brush up on the basics with these books to show you the difference between a "two-seamer" and a "cutter."
Or if you prefer to leave the "Moneyball"-speak to the diehard statistic trackers, get in the baseball spirit with movies available to stream or on DVDs, to make a fan out of anyone.
What is your prediction for the Reds this season? Let us know in the comments below!
