520    "In baseball there are superstars and stars and everyday 
       players and then there are the rest. Within the rest are 
       role players and specialists and journeymen and then there
       are the backup catchers. The Tao of the Backup Catcher is 
       about them, the backup catchers, who exist near the bottom
       of the roster and the end of the bench and between the 
       numbers in a sport-and a society-increasingly driven by 
       cold, hard analytics." -- inside front jacket flap. 
520    "This fascinating book chronicles the unsung men of 
       baseball who serve the job, the hardships they face, and 
       their love for a game that would not always love them back
       --told partly through the experiences of an MLB veteran"--
