Baseball's weapon of terror is the bean ball pitch, which is in frequent and alarming use today. Roger Kahn analyzes all its variations, including the knockdown and brushback.

Jack Olsen makes a close study of the trophy hunters, those supremely selective sportsmen who may refuse to shoot an animal if he is smaller than the one Joe shot last year.
