I understand that Ted Williams wrote a book in support of rotational mechanics that received scorn from the batting instruction community. Does anyone know the name of that book? And is it still available?

It's called The Science of Hitting.
Amazon has it.

Interesting read both for mechanics and for his insights into how to 'read' a pitcher. Lots of the mental side of hitting.
