It was a Doubleday hardcover and then a Main Street paperback, finally becoming a Broadway reprint. It is the Only comprehensive training guide on the market written for and targeted to Little Leaguers themselves. It explains hitting and pitching, baserunning, sliding, and each and every defensive position. There are also sections on overall strategy -- both offensive and defensive -- the importance of warming up, fitness, the equipment, teamwork and good sportsmanship. You can rely on this guide from the first warm up pitch to last licks.For the first time in 12 years, "Little League's Official How-To-Play Baseball Book" is being revised. It will include Little League, Inc.'s newest rules and regulations, a letter from the President of the corporation, and expanded sections on teamwork and sportsmanship to include remarks on age limits (after the recent Bronx scandal), parent-spectator involvement, overtraining, and more.
