Maybe the Simple Game of Baseball Isn?t So Simple After All: The Physics of Bringing a Bat into Contact with a 95 Mile-an-Hour Fastball

by Steve Morse

Baseball-"a simple game." Yep, Nuke LaLoosh got that right. Simple. But as Johnny Pesky, one of [the author's] heroes of the 1940's and 50's Boston Red Sox, once said, "Such a simple game- and so hard to play." In this book, author Steve Morse describes why the physics of bringing a bat into contact with a 95-mph fastball makes American baseball far from a "simple" game.
