Explain away your bad at-bats and imperfect pitchesâand have your friends laugh at the same time!
In Baseball's Best Excuses, author Joshua Shifrin takes a witty approach in helping baseball players make sense of their worst days on the diamond. The next time a player leads his or her team in defeat, he or she can always explain the woeful performance with âThe guy batting after me is terrible.â Or after a bad pitching outing, players might try to explain the mishap with, âI couldnât control my fastball."
Shifrin has crafted loads of funnyâbut all-too-realâexcuses for pros and amateurs alike. Examples include: The pitcher was taking too much time between pitches. The fans behind home plate were distracting. Iâm not used to the dimensions in this park. The manager had me playing out of position. And many more! Whether you want to motivate the amateur in your life or laugh away embarrassing mistakes in your own game, Baseball's Best Excuses is a must-read. Complete with laugh-out-loud full-color cartoons, this book makes for the perfect gift.
