Great information from a former player who truly loves the game, and wants to help others to feel the same.

5This one is a home run!  Dec 03, 2008
By Gift Card "Clark Millman"
Finally a book I can give to parents or athletes new to the game and after reading"Fun-da-mentals" they will have a basic understanding and appreciation fot our national past time.Mr. Blewett flows effortlessly from position to position explaining techiques and a winning approach to the game. Onle someone who has actually won an NCAA championship could lace personal experience with basic knowledge to provide the reader with tremendous insights. Mike also adds his peresonal experiences from his contact with outstanding players and coaches he has played with and against to help everyone underrrstand nuances of this great sport.
As a high school coach with 28 years of experience I can highly recommend this to everyone from t-ballers to the bigs. Everyone should be able to gleen some helpful knowledge from Mike!
Also, I found it to be both entertaining and an easy read. A great gift for anyone with exposure to the sport!

5Baseball - pure and simple  Nov 25, 2008
By Kurt Burger
What I love about The Fun-da-Mentals of Baseball is the way it's organized and the way it flows. It examines and teaches everything about baseball step-by-step, for anyone interested in the game: from beginners to advanced players, coaches, parents and spectators alike. There are pictures and diagrams, suggested exercises and workouts, and every chapter highlights a different Fun-da-Mental. It's not loaded down with stories of celebrity - it's about baseball, pure and simple. Best of all, it's written in a lighthearted coaching style.

5Wow!  Nov 24, 2008
By Alida Hagerty "Alida Hagerty"
Michael Blewett is a legend at the University of Southern California (Google Mike Blewett and Rod Dedeauxfor some great baseball history), and his expertise as a professional player, coach and father/teacher of baseball is unsurpassed. He has broken the sport down to easily teachable basics, and emphasizes the spirit of sport - have fun! Great gift for fathers of young sons.

By Sheila Rogers
As the wife of a coach and grandparent I have watched my family teach and coach the fundamentals of many sports. My husband says this book is a primer, and a complete source of how to teach children to play baseball. We recommend it to anyone who is involved in coaching, at any level, because it is all right there.
