Stuart Miller, 78th Precinct baseball coach, has a new baseball book called "Good Wood: The Story of the Baseball Bat" out just in time for the holidays. In Good Wood, he takes readers on a journey through the rich and storied—and occasionally nefarious—story of the baseball bat and those who have made them and swung them. With over 50 photos, he reveals the creation, history, and development of the bat, brings readers up to date on modern methods and materials for making bats, and explores the folklore surrounding bats.
