""""Bernie's coaching gave me a jump start to a professional career. For coaches, reading this book will be a guide to help you teach the game. For the player, this book will be a guide to enhance your skill level and the ability to play the game the right way.""" John SmoltzAtlanta Braves """I have known Bernie Walter for more than four decades; he has been deeply involved with baseball as a player and coach. His unique perspective on baseball instruction comes from his consistent success as a coach and his in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals of baseball. For those who play or teach baseball, "The Baseball Handbook" is your guide.""" John SchuerholzExecutive vice president and general manager, Atlanta Braves """Coach Bernie Walter understands that a vast knowledge of all facets of baseball is of immense importance. However, knowledge is of little value if you cannot teach it. The key to coaching is the ability to transmit information properly so that players can transfer what they learn to the field. Bernie Walter is the consummate coach because he is first and foremost a great teacher of the game of baseball.""" Roland HemondExecutive advisor to the general manager, Chicago White Sox"
