Review - K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches

A good read, but it kinda dried up in long discussions of various grips. Illustrations of grips and spins would have been useful. I'm not sure I'm clear on the difference, for example, between a slider and a cutter or between a splitter and a sinker.
