A collection of iconic, unbelievable, and intimate stories from
baseball history that celebrate the enduring impact of the national
pastime. Baseball--rooted as it is in tradition and
nostalgia--lends itself to the retelling of its timeless tales. So
it is with the stories in Classic Baseball, a collection of
articles written by award-winning journalist John Rosengren and
originally published by Sports Illustrated, The New Yorker, Sports
on Earth, VICE Sports, and other magazines. These are stories about
the game's legends--Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Josh Gibson, Bob
Feller, Frank Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Kirby Puckett--and its
lesser-knowns with extraordinary stories of their own. They cover
some of the game's most famous moments, like Hank Aaron hitting No.
715, and some you've never heard of, like the time the Ku Klux Klan
played a game against an all-Black team. Whether it be the story of
John Roseboro forgiving Juan Marichal for clubbing him in the head
with a bat, Elston Howard breaking down the Yankees' systemic
racism to integrate America's team, or the national pastime played
on snowshoes during July in a remote Wisconsin town, these are
stories meant to be read and read again for their poignancy, their
humor, and their celebration of baseball.
