Baseball Bunting: The Lost Art intertwines history, photographic instruction, and drill work to bring baseball bunting to life. Divided into three sections, baseball coach and author Bobby Herb opens with a history of bunting, including his picks of the top ten bunters of all time. Biographical information and tidbits about bunters ranging from Ty Cobb to Jackie Robinson dot the pages.

Baseball Bunting: The Lost Art continues with a how-to section. It explains all types of bunts: Sacrifice, drag, push, suicide, safety, and even the slash. The step-by-step approach and helpful photographs are perfect for coaches or players to get a leg up on the competition. Concluding with a detailed drill section, the reader learns what to do in practice to optimize time and repetitions.

"This book is an excellent teaching tool for the coaching of players. Everyone can learn the basics and how to improve on the skills they already possess. What sets this book apart from others are the blasts from the past. All readers can learn how important the bunt game was and is just by looking at how many of the author's picks for top-ten bunters are in the Hall-of-Fame. Get this book and learn about small ball!"

--Bob Kearney, former Big League Catcher with the Giants, A's, and Mariners
