Synopsis
Tell your man: "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"…and Mean it! Is your favorite guy spending more time talking to the 'tube' than to you? Would you like to score with that nice looking single at the sports bar? Well, ladies, it's time to step up to the plate and get into the game with this relationship hit that's just in time for the playoffs! Paula Duffy, lifelong sports enthusiast, and founder of Incidental Contact (www.incidentalcontact.com), a sports learning site for women, takes you out to the ball game and explains the basics of America's favorite pastime, step-by-step, in just under an hour. In his language, that's equal to approximately three innings, four beers and two belches. So grab a hot dog and some pretzels and find out what all that cheering is about. Besides teaching you the basics of the sport, Duffy entertainingly shows you the practical applications of baseball knowledge (aka 'sports speak') as it pertains to success in business, personal relationships, and, of course, romance. Yes ladies, there's more to baseball than just crotch grabbing, spitting and congratulatory pats on the butt. Remember, to hit a grand slam, you've got to get off the couch, and head for the diamond!
