~~In the bottom of the Ninth Inning of life, when the bases are loaded, you are losing a close game, there are two outs and the count is three and two against you, where can you, the batter in this game of life, look to, for a sign as to whether you should swing away at the next pitch or hold off in the hopes of getting a walk. The Tarot of Baseball is an attempt to give you just that sign.

Many arcane forms and techniques have been used over the years to explain why an all-star shortstop suddenly drops seventy points in batting average after signing a multi-year multi-million dollar contract. As well, many other questions of baseball lore remain unresolved despite much meditation and some occasional thaumaturgy. Are stolen bases really worth the effort? Is a poor hitting defensive shortstop better than a good hitting, poor throwing right fielder? Do beards really affect the performance of a relief pitcher's curve ball?

The Tarot of Baseball does not purport to offer the definitive answer to these perplexing questions but it does offer to provide the sincere seeker with more than just a few tired sports clichés pointing the way along the road of life. Before it can do so, the student of baseball tarot must learn about the meanings behind the cards and the methods of determining how those meanings interact when they are read in the nine inning game of life. In this new color edition you can do just that AND with the right software and paper print your very own cards to help you navigate this game of life.
