This small volume of stories and essays contains unique, deeply personal takes on baseball, its unfolding history and its lore. It’s also the record of a sometimes painful life journey, punctuated by the glory of the game and the poetry that it quickened.
In this book, you’ll find grandstand reveries of picaresque adventures between West Africa and New York; close readings of Zane Grey’s surreal fictive ballgames; the baseball poems of Shiki and William Carlos Williams revisited; personal recollections of seeing Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax and other legends up close; and lastly, a poster of the 1955 World Champion Brooklyn Dodgers, a walk through the Jackie Robinson Museum, and the author’s efforts to come home to all of it.
This book is an essential read for lovers of the literature of the game.
