"The Idiot's Guide to Baseball" is another bargain-bin book with an unfortunate title. It was written (very well!) by Johnny Bench. This is a good reference.
A really good way to learn about baseball in general is to play OOTPB. You will definitely screw a lot of things up, but you will also learn a lot, too. Chances are, you will learn a lot of positives about baseball before you "hit the wall" with the limitations of the game engine. OOTPB does have its flaws, but I can't think of another computer game that has so much real baseball in it. The only other problem with OOTPB is that if you find that you really don't like it at all, I have no idea how you would get your money back. Of course, I've never had this problem -- I've had OOTPB on my hard drive for quite a few years now.
