Of all the possible encyclopedias to choose from, why did John Preskill insist on Total Baseball: The Ultimate Baseball Encyclopedia?
I can tell from his site that he is a baseball fan. Nestled underneath physics-related poems are Baseball: ESPN Sportszone and the A-hats Team Song (Caltech's quantum optics softball team). Preskill is also an expert in quantum computing, might the spin of a baseballs have led him there?
