Prelude
After rereading and editing my Book numerous times before its publication, and realizing the typical baseball fan’s reluctance to delve deeply into the intricate yet redundant themes my ideas transpose onto the pages of every chapter, I have concluded that the best and only way for such to read this (Masterpiece) in order to pursue the content and thoroughly absorb its profound context in an energetically mindful manner is to peruse each chapter diligently in one reading session at a time. (Maybe two chapters.) Reading it to any greater extent would run the risk of saturating any phenomenal aspirant to baseball success with mind-cluttering thoughts that heretofore he/she never considered would or should be an essential part of the Game of Baseball.
However, if a reader whose tendency toward a philosophic appreciation of practical science, even as a dilettante, and has had secret longings to somehow become a professional ball-player (maybe even a “Big-Leaguer”), he/she might become so consumed with HOPE after reading through the first two or three chapters that a New Prospect might instill an acute interest in continuously reading the entire manuscript to its inspiring conclusion.
The book posits that baseball’s enduring and endearing attributes can be perceived on multiple levels of conscious awareness, transcending the mundane interests of the ordinary sports spectator and encouraging readers to change the way they think about the game, enabling them to observe and understand baseball in a more profound and substantial manner. My Book delves into the multifaceted nature of baseball, exploring the game’s most precious elements of batting and throwing from various perspectives – the physical and mental, the scientific, and the spiritual.
The Title-Page itself as well as the Table of Content need to be pondered before exploring the prospects that are elucidated in the Foreword’s preliminary attempt to verify the relationship between the complexity involved in understanding Quantum Physics in collaboration with the analogous simplicity and viability in perfecting the skills of throwing, fielding, and batting a baseball.
As simplicity is the integration and coordination of life’s infinite array of variables within the realm of understanding, it is not the beginning of primitive evolvement but rather the culminating effect of organization. The universe, like baseball, does sing in simple chords of harmonious function, changing chaos into order. The best ball players have made their craft appear effortless and instinctive, having perfected their techniques to the Penultimate Degree through arduous, repetitive labor.
