Highlights and lowlights from the 2012 MLB season.
As we stand here at the doorstep of Spring Training, with anything possible ahead, these two photos stood out as great examples: perhaps you will have the frustrating season of once great player in decline, or perhaps you will break a record thought to be unbreakable (with no asterisk by your name).
And that is what makes this game great.
I think hitting can be improved at almost any level, and my intention is to show how, and what I think it takes to be a good hitter, even a .400 hitter if the conditions are ever right again, from the theory to the mechanics to the application. If I can help somebody, fine. That’s the whole idea. I feel in my heart that nobody in this game ever devoted more concentration to the batter’s box than Theodore Samuel Williams, a guy who practiced until the blisters bled, loved batting anyway and always delighted in examining the art of hitting the ball. I’m almost 50 years old now. I’ve had a lot of time to think about it.
