Baseball is a strange sport: it consists of long periods in which little seems to be happening, punctuated by high-energy outbursts of rapid fire activity. Some find it dull; yet as philosopher and baseball fan Alva Noë argues in this concise, entertaining book, nothing could be further from the truth, for baseball is the most philosophically profound of all sports. Here Noë reflects on and explores the many unexpected ways in which baseball is truly a philosophical kind of game, in particular how it is "infinite" in its reflection on itself.
