Now in its third edition, Dickson’s compendium is the authoritative guide to the language of our national pastime. What’s the difference between a “cut fastball” and a “four-seam fastball”? Where did “fungo” come from? Dickson traces sources, first usages, and etymologies of familiar (and not so familiar) baseball terms, with many insights into the game’s history along the way. Including more than 10,000 definitions and 250 photographs, the current volume has doubled in size from the original.
Start: 5:00 pm
End: 6:00 pm
