Description
This acclaimed collection brings together Thomas Boswell’s finest early baseball essays, arranged around the rhythm of a notional season from anticipation to reflection. With sharp observation and a storyteller’s eye, Boswell explores baseball’s rituals, rivalries, personalities, and enduring place in American life. Profiles of remarkable players—including Sandy Koufax and Rod Carew—stand alongside broader meditations on competition, memory, excellence, and the ways the game mirrors the world beyond the ballpark.
