The commandments of hitting.

With five bestsellers to his name, Peter Golenbock has earned a reputation as one of America''s best and most successful sports authors. In American Zoom he presents an oral history of stock car racing, as told by great drivers, mechanics, promoters, and others. "A lively, literate, and loving look at the magic of stock car racing".--The Chicago Tribune

Golenbock describes the racial prejudice experienced by Jackie Robinson when he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers and became the first black player in Major League baseball and depicts the acceptance and support he received from his white teammate Pee Wee Reese.

Explanatory photographs and instructional text describe the batting techniques and attitude that can make you a winner at the plate.

The former New York Times bestseller is now available in trade paperback a quarter century after Golenbock''s detailed examination of the 1979 New York Yankees World Series championship became hailed as one of the best baseball books written.
