This book analyzes how sportswriters discuss issues of race,
ethnicity, nationality, sexual identity, age, and class within
professional baseball from 1998 to the present. Each chapter looks
at the media representations of a specific controversy including
the 1998 home-run chase, Alex Rodriguez's historic contract
singing, Barry Bond's home-run chases, Mike Piazza's ""I am not
gay"" press conference, Effa Manley's Hall of Fame induction, the
celebration of Jackie Robinson Day, as well as the various
incidents involving performance-enhancing drugs. The author puts it
together and reveals what messages are being conveyed by the
issues.
