Description
In this lively collection of baseball essays, the start of a new season becomes a gateway to the sport’s enduring drama, traditions, and possibilities. Thomas Boswell explores baseball’s myths and superstars, pennant races and strategies, ballparks and rituals, revealing how the national pastime reflects both timeless legend and changing culture. Blending sharp observation, historical insight, and an appreciation for the game’s characters, the book captures why Opening Day feels less like a date on the calendar than the moment baseball—and its fans—come fully alive.
