Description
Ed Smith's unique perspective on two iconic sports is revealed in this fascinating cultural comparison. A top-class practitioner of both cricket and baseball, Ed has spent time with the New York Mets, allowing him to contrast and compare these two games from the inside.
The author draws on his experiences to paint a two-sided portrait of sports' most illustrious 'hitting games', exploring the differences between the techniques, histories, and cultural followings of cricket and baseball. From the pristine Hall of Fame in Cooperstown to the ramshackle cricket museum at Lord's, Ed Smith's PLAYING HARD BALL offers an intriguing look at these two beloved sports.
