About this title: An opinionated account of the evolution of baseball's central event, by baseball's most celebrated chronicler. Beyond the techniques and training, baseball is essentially a pitcher and a batter and the psychological battle between them. Here is the story of that battle and the people who changed the course of baseball by throwing one. Roger Kahn investigates grips, speeds, and tactics, but also knowledge, maturity, and competitive fire. Illustrations.

I am a nostalgic person who loves baseball. The Head Game combines both of these when describing the art of pitching throughout the history of baseball.
More importantly, after reading this book as a young lad (and blossoming pitcher) my outlook and analysis of the game of baseball and my approach to pitching changed drastically. Baseball instantly became a sport with infinite depth. I no longer watched and played games based on each inning. Instead I became focused on each pitch. Each pitch as an at bat, each at bat as a contest between batter and pitcher.
If you don't really know baseball you will be bored to tears with this book. However for others, those who have played or those who are knowledgeable fans, this is a great read."
