Why do accomplished writers (and grown-ups) like Ron Carlson, Rick
Bass, and Michael Chabon (to name but a few of those represented
here) still obsess over their baseball days? What is it about this
green game of suspense that not only moves us but can also move us
to flights of lyrical writing? In "Scoring from Second: Writers on
Baseball" some of the literary lights of our day answer these
questions with essays, reminiscences, and meditations on the sport
that is America's game but also a deeply personal experience for
player, observer, and fan alike. Here writers as different as Andre
Dubus and Leslie Epstein, Chabon and Floyd Skloot, Michael Martone
and William Least Heat-Moon reflect on the game they grew up with,
the players who thrilled them, and the lessons that baseball holds
for us all. From the one-season wonder to the long-haul heroes to
the hall of fame, the game that has framed so many American
summers--and lives--comes to quirky, instructive, and always
entertaining life in these pages.
