About this ebook
Key Selling Points:
A balm for baseball fans who miss watching the game up close. Captures the action of the game, and the lives of players, so close you’re right on the field, in the clubhouse, and in their living room.
A breath of fresh air for old-school fans. Emphasizes the tactile, observable, on-the-field essence of the game (and of life), as a rebuke to our present-day obsession with the virtual world and invisible baseball analytics.
Expert historical reimaginings. Time travel into the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, so close you get singed by fire. Ride New York’s Elevated Trains, bargain rent down, set foot in The Polo Grounds ballpark, and befriend the game’s greatest pitcher, Christy Mathewson.
The author’s baseball poetry trilogy is highly reviewed. O, Gigantic Victory! received high praise from filmmaker Ken Burns (“It’s perfect.”) and the New York Times (“Hermanos makes me hunger for the upcoming season.”) Answers the age-old baseball question: how would today’s players stack up against the greats of the game?
