Helpful Baseball Tips for Kids Hollis, NH - Spring 2002 - Hollis Publishing Co. is pleased to announce the publication of a new baseball book for kids, that answers the question that was posed to hundreds of former major league baseball players: What piece of advice would you give to a youngster, which you found you be helpful to you in your career? This one question initiated the creation of Hey Dad, Wanna Play Catch? a baseball book for kids with fascinating insight in an easy to understand format. When the authors, a New Hampshire police officer and his 10-year-old son, took up the task of learning more about the game of baseball, they had no idea what to expect. The result was photographs, and personal letters with words of advice and encouragement from hundreds of former Major League Baseball players who have a genuine interest in today's young ball players. The contributing players offer an amazing range of advice. Players from the 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's recount in personal letters, the advice that they found to be meaningful and helpful. The players emphasize the values they learned and relied on as they worked their way to the major leagues. The contributors include All-Stars, Hall of Famers, and men who simply dedicated their lives to America's greatest past time. Photos, as well as personality sketches and biographies of these larger-than-life characters serve to introduce the reader to each player. The Hughes' also focus on simple baseball fundamentals that every youngster should practice and learn to become a better player. It is especially helpful to those who like to practice in their yard or with friends in the neighborhood This approach helps kids to learn about, enjoy and appreciate the sport. Included in each chapter are corresponding photos for every important baseball skill. Jim Hughes has combined his experience as a coach and umpire, with his son Nick's experience as a youth baseball player, together with the advice of 99 former Major League players to create what is perhaps, the best collection of baseball tips for kids, which has ever been put together. This book is ideal reading for 8 to 15 year olds. If you like baseball or if you've ever wanted to ask a major league player for advice, this book is for you. |
