Watching baseball smarter by Zack Hample.
This book was a great introduction to baseball for me. I knew the absolute basic rules of baseball (4 bases, 3 strikes & you're out etc), but didn't really know much more than that. This covered a lot of material from all parts of the game, some obvious, and some esoteric, and really made you feel like a seasoned baseball viewer. Also, the writing is really conversational (i.e. non-pompous), so it is just like what you would hear talking to a friend who knew a lot about baseball.
My big conclusion after reading this is that baseball has just way more options than cricket, and to use some asic lingo, is a lot more stateful. So, the strategy is just way more complicated than cricket. The skill required might be a bit lower though. :)
