From his humble beginnings as a journeyman reporter for the "South
Bend Times" in Indiana, to the height of his popularity when his
work was syndicated in more than 115 newspapers with a readership
of more than eight million, Ring Lardner was the undisputed master
of sports journalism and fiction. In his stories, readers found the
authentic lives of their heroes and idols, their hopes and fears,
and the vernacular of the diamond in all its bawdy and athletic
glory. Here then for the baseball fan, in one comprehensive volume,
are Lardner's finest writings about baseball during its golden
age.
Out of a column written for "The" "Saturday Evening Post" evolved
his most famous work," You Know Me, Al," which introduced the world
to the bush-league pitcher Jack Keefe. Lardner's skills as the
finest American humorist since Mark Twain are on full display in
the stories "My Roomy," "Horseshoes," "Alibi Ike," and "The Yellow
Kid." Also included are his outstanding journalistic pieces about
the Chicago Black Sox World Series scandal of 1919 that chronicle
his struggle to come to grips with a national betrayal, the memory
of which still scars the sport to this day.
LARDNER ON BASEBALL is a full, diverse, and exciting collection of
works from a legendary writer who transformed a simple game into
the stuff of great literature.
