Notes
Description
"In baseball there are superstars and stars and everyday players and then there are the rest. Within the rest are role players and specialists and journeymen and then there are the backup catchers. The Tao of the Backup Catcher is about them, the backup catchers, who exist near the bottom of the roster and the end of the bench and between the numbers in a sport--and a society--increasingly driven by cold, hard analytics."--Inside front jacket flap.
Description
"This fascinating book chronicles the unsung men of baseball who serve the job, the hardships they face, and their love for a game that would not always love them back--told partly through the experiences of an MLB veteran"--,Provided by publisher.
