    Looking for a baseball book.........

    for my hubby and I stumbled upon here. My Husband has been searching for a book called The Baseball Slant for sometime now so I'd figure being the lovely wife I am I would help out and I didn't find this, but I found this instead. So if any of you know of the whereabouts of a book called The Baseball Slant which he says if a book that explains the aspects of the game, players relationships, and other parts of the game from a players slant. Hence the name The Baseball Slant.

    Oh, and by the way this forum looks pretty well done. The only thing I don't understand is the Che Guevara pictures. I guess that is the image. I have seen that on shirts before.

    That is the main problem. My husband claims he saw this being advertised on Television. The only thing that resembles a Title like that is Baseball True Slant by Matt Pack.

    Hi Southpaw, welcome to the site!

    I'm not aware of the book actually, but it might be a good idea if I read it . Understanding Google and search in general is a big part of my job, both for the site and for my work, so I'll search later on will certainley know if I find anything.

    As far as the Che pictures, I should perhaps explain that a bit better for new members such as yourself. The face in the image is actually Philadelphia Phillies player Matt Stairs who has had a cult following on these forums for quite sometime but done in that Che style as he is the face leading our revolucion against boring baseball discussion. I'm on my phone right now so I can't explain it fully.

    Once again though, welcome!

    I think he was President of the Soviet Union in the 60s, wasn't he?
