The picture in the middle shows
Demonstration Team member
Morgan Hughart (intentionally)
using incorrect mechanics to field
a ground ball.  Note how she's
bent only at the waist and how her
eyes are very far from the ball.  See
how she's leaving a big gap for the
ball to roll between her legs for an
error.
Some coaches and parents have wondered why the on-line bookstores depict the
blue cover (left) on their webpages, instead of the actual official red cover (right)
[The
red cover version is the official version on brick and mortar bookstore shelves
and in on-line bookstore inventories around the country].                      
                                                                                                                                                 
They're the exact same books on the inside, but thanks to the eagle eyes of
Michele, Lawrence and the crack editorial staff at McGraw-Hill, the team caught
something during the editorial phase that is incorrect about the way a certain type of
softball mechanics is depicted in the blue cover version.  
Can you identify the
error?
