Said In Stone: Your Game, My Way

Cubs, ChiSox Fans To Meet Steve Stone
In Said in Stone: Your Game, My Way, Steve Stone, the Cy Young Award-winning pitcher and future Hall of Fame broadcaster offers his unique slant on the game of baseball that has been his passion for nearly five decades. He starts by analyzing the game position by position; illustrating his points with personal experiences and players he's played with and covered. What he hasn't seen, his broadcast partner of 15 years, Harry Caray, probably had, and he shares plenty of funny stories about their years together in the booth as well as a serious look at how the game has changed and what the future holds for America's pastime. Whether you're a student of baseball or new to sport, Said in Stone offers something for everyone.

Said in Stone Press Release

 

The name Steve Stone is synonymous with baseball in Chicago. As a former player for both the Cubs and White Sox, former broadcaster for the north-siders and now current broadcaster on the south side of town, Stone has been an integral part of the baseball scene in the Windy City for nearly four decades.

 

The 1980 Cy Young Award winner has a knack for predicting exactly what will happen next while analyzing the game from the booth. Whether it's calling a slider low and away before the pitcher even enters the wind-up or warning not to pitch to a power hitter moments before he slams one into the bleachers, Stone's knowledge for the game has earned him the utmost respect in not only in Chicago, but in baseball circles across the country.

 

Stone now shares the best of his baseball knowledge in his book Said in Stone: Your Game, My Way. Throughout this new title, Stone covers what he feels are the most important aspects of America's Pastime, including:

 

• A thorough breakdown of each baseball position and how to play it correctly
• The importance of managing and the front office's role in creating a successful team
• His years pitching for the Giants, Cubs, White Sox and Orioles
• What he considers to be the most important pitch in the game
• Who he thinks is the best first base/second base tandem he has ever seen
• His memories of Chicago Cubs legend Ron Santo

 

Said in Stone: Your Game, My Way is a must-read for both north-siders and south-siders in Chicago, as well as any other fan who wants to learn about what is most important in each position and role in baseball. Stone breaks it down in a way that allows even the most casual fans to become far more knowledgeable spectators as they tune in to the game or head to the ballpark from April to October.
