Description: The Dickson Baseball Dictionary quickly established itself as the book to go to when you wanted to know which inning The Catch was made, or needed to find out where the term "fungo" came from, or couldn't figure why Vin Scully called that last hit a "frozen rope". The only problem became closing the book: once you dipped into this comprehensive, engaging, entertaining compendium of baseball knowledge, it was almost impossible to pull away. Now the dictionary is back -- more authoritative and comprehensive than ever and filled with lots of never-before-seen illustrations and photos. From hundreds of updated definitions to its thorough bibliography and new thesaurus of terms, The New Dickson Baseball Dictionary combines depth and historical richness with the accessibility of a reference book -- something the stat books, almanacs, and illustrated histories can't begin to do. This is an essential for every baseball lover's reference shelf.
