THE FIRESIDE BOOK OF BASEBALL, 4th ed.

by Charles--Ed. Einstein ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 21, 1987

The best baseball anthology, first published in 1956, receives its fourth edition (and its first since 1968) at the able hands of original editor Einstein. An engaging hodgepodge of 110 articles, short stories, novel and book extracts, and news clippings, featuring top baseball writers like Roger Angell, Robert Kahn, and Red Smith, as well as left-field authors such as Ralph Nader and John Updike (who offers an ode to the tao of Yankee Stadium), this new edition serves up a wealth of fresh material--including three pieces on last year's thrilling post-season play. Pure manna for baseball fans.
