Myths of Baseball: How America’s Pastime Really Works is the definitive deep dive into the truths, half-truths, legends, and misconceptions that have shaped baseball for more than 150 years. David A. Price unravels the game’s most persistent myths — from strategy to statistics, from eras to analytics, from cultural moments to iconic players — revealing the hidden logic behind America’s pastime.

Across more than sixty chapters and dozens of specialized appendices, Price explores how baseball actually works beneath the nostalgia. You’ll discover:

• How rule changes, eras, and cultural shifts reshaped the sport

• What analytics really measure — and what they don’t

• The truth behind steroids, the dead-ball era, and power surges

• How the game evolved tactically from the 1800s to the pitch-clock era

• Why certain myths refuse to die, even when the data destroys them

• The real stories behind Jackie Robinson Day, integration, and MLB history

• The science and technology transforming pitching, hitting, and player development

• Legendary baseball moments that had nothing to do with baseball at all

From Babe Ruth to Shohei Ohtani, from Moneyball to the modern sweeper, from the origins of the mound to Hawkeye pitch design labs, this book spans the full scope of baseball’s evolution — blending storytelling, history, logic, analytics, and cultural insight.

Myths of Baseball isn’t just about debunking.
It’s about revealing the beauty of the game when you understand how it truly works.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan, a new follower of the sport, or a baseball mind hungry for depth, this is the single most complete myth-busting volume ever written on America’s game.
