Love baseball? Do you know the hidden secrets and secret sauce that make baseball, baseball? Did you know what batball is? Did you know who is the most important baseball pitcher of all time? Did you know baseball's true origin history was a victim of false advertising from Europe? This book makes the umpire call on all that.
Love baseball as America's national pastime? Either way, you probably use baseball's glorious sayings or lingo like watch out for a curveball or that's a foul ball or step up to the plate--phrases we commonly use in daily life. It's so American. It is us. So help us bring baseball's heart back home--meaning its true origin, which is not Europe. Did you know current historical narratives place baseball's origins in England? Nothing could be farther from the truth.
This book proves baseball originated in the USA using a revolutionary discipline, often called the missing discipline, which you can also apply to perfecting anything that is important to you. Kind of cool. So, yet again, baseball can be applied to your daily life--your projects, work, ideas, and success. Now that's a home run! (Smiles are included with baseball.)
If you enjoy baseball, do you know the deeper reasons why you do? And how well do you know baseball? Beyond the superficial, the fun trivia, do you know the deep, deeper, and deepest core of baseball? Step up to the plate and discover the hidden stuff that destined it to become such a beloved sport.
And how about this curveball? Did you know that baseball developed its own disruptive technology? It did. You can read about it. Did you know that while learning a ton of fun baseball stuff in this book, you can also learn a revolutionary way of perfecting whatever is important to you? Did you know that this book can help you hit a home run with your own idea, technology, or business? Take a swing at discovering something new and cool.
Did you know that his work on baseball actually helped this award-winning author and founder of concept modeling to gain a new and even deeper understanding of how the abstract world actually works? Yes, baseball did that--it is overturning what we thought we knew about ideas and concept. Not how we were taught, but how it all actually works. Need proof? This book is proof. This discipline, used on Hollywood movies, was used by Winston to deconstruct concepts long-hidden at the core of baseball revealing shocking, wonderful, and delightful insights on what just might be the perfect sport. Truly America's game.
You already know baseball helped change America a few times during our history. But did you know, baseball may do it again? Wait a sec?--You mean a baseball book may actually help us understand how to deconstruct things in a deeper way? Well, you can make that umpire call. Get in the game! Read this while you help bring baseball's origin back home--where it belongs, and forever. Let's play ball!
