Résumé

Understanding the Sport My Dad Taught Me to Love is a heartfelt journey into the soul of baseball, a game that, for many, is far more than just a sport. Through clear explanations, real stats, and decades of history, Eduardo Solano unpacks the game the way it was taught to him: with love, patience, and an eye for the details that casual fans often miss. This is not just a book for seasoned fans. It's for anyone who ever sat down to watch a game and wondered what batting average really means, how a pitcher's ERA is calculated, or what all the fuss is about launch angle and WAR.
Chapter by chapter, Solano breaks down everything from traditional box score metrics to the most advanced Statcast-era data. Along the way, readers learn the history behind analytics, the context of key rule changes (including those up to the 2025 season), and how to see the game with fresh eyes. What makes this book truly unique is its tone, at once nostalgic and educational, personal and analytical.
With every chapter, Solano captures the emotion of the game while providing readers with tools to better understand what's happening on the field. Whether you're a curious newcomer or a lifelong fan hoping to deepen your knowledge, this book makes the complex accessible and the familiar feel new again. The final chapter, a moving tribute to the author's late father, ties together the emotional foundation that inspired the book.
Baseball was never just a pastime in their household, it was a shared language, a lifelong bond, and a source of life lessons that went far beyond the diamond. If you've ever loved the crack of the bat, the poetry of a perfect pitch, or the rhythm of the box score, this book was written for you.
