What is The Cheater's Guide to Baseball about?

Ever see Mike Piazza block the plate? Or Derek Jeter slide hard into second? Illegal. But it happens every game. Baseballs rules, it seems, were made to be broken. And they are, by the players, the front office, and even sometimes the fans. Like it or not, cheating has been an integral part of Americas favorite pastime since its inception. The Cheaters Guide to Baseball will show you how cheating is really done. In this lively tour through baseballs underhanded history, readers will learn how to cork a bat, steal signs, hurl a spitball, throw a World Series, and win at any cost! Theyll also see the dirty little secrets of the games greatest John McGraw and Ty Cobb; Billy Martin and Gaylord Perry; Graig Nettles and Sammy Sosa; and, yes, even Barry Bonds. Theyll find out how the Cleveland Indians doctored their basepaths to give new meaning to the term home field advantage. Theyll delight in a hilarious examination of the Black Sox scandal, baseballs original sin. And, in the end, theyll come to understand that cheating is as much a part of baseball as pine tar and pinch hitters. And its here to stay.
