One Easter in the early '90s I was taken to a bookstore and allowed to pick out a book. For whatever reason I chose _One Knee Equals Two Feet_, the 1988 John Madden book. I absolutely devoured it. Seeing Madden on TV often reminded me of it. I still think about it. [1/N]
In baseball (as I knew it): (1) The game has mostly been bad at attracting and developing talent; (2) Passive / "default" coaching works fine; (3) So much lore was just wrong; (4) A lot of the real expertise is mechanical / inarticulable. [2/3]
