Bunt! by Bill Baynes
What happens when a sharp-eyed kid develops such precise bat control that he can bunt a baseball just about anywhere he wants it? He can hop it. Stop it. Even spin a reverse English on it.
What happens is that one of the oldest skills in the game takes on a surprising new life. What happens is insane infielders, angry pitchers, hysterical chanting fans and a surprising breakout into a late season California League pennant race.
Bunt! is an inspiring tale that will tickle baseball fans of all ages. It captures the feel and smell, the strategy and lore of the game.
Bunt! is “inside baseball” at its grittiest best.
