ISBN: 9780786493661 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The stolen base is one of the most fascinating plays in all of sports. In no other sport is the opportunity present for the offence to literally take away what belongs to the defence.

Not just ball games but entire World Series have turned on a steal.
This book traces the history of the stolen base and stealing in the major leagues from its humble beginnings through its current status as an indispensable part of a team's offence....
