Editorial Reviews for "Game-Day Goddess: Learning Baseball's Lingo"
"If there is anyone who certainly knows how to speak sports lingo with the very best of them, it's Suzy
Beamer Bohnert. The proof is in the books the Game-Day Goddess has written," says the Arlington Sun Gazette.
"A great idea for the baseball beginner, executed with an engaging, breezy sensibility. It has terms both basic
and arcane, giving the novice a chance to learn the lingo and talk the talk even better than the pros. It's a great
way for anyone to get a real feel for the language of baseball, which is, of course, the language of America," says Little
League Baseball Coach Scott Nathanson.
"Beginners and those familiar with baseball will enjoy this upbeat, refreshing look at America's favorite pastime.

Slam Baseball Camp.

rules before they complain about an umpire's calls," says Jim Rixse, youth and men's league baseball umpire.
