An essential collection of baseball fiction by the master of the
form More than any other writer in the twentieth century, Ring
Lardner was identified with baseball. His years as a newspaper
reporter in Chicago covering the Cubs and White Sox gave him inside
knowledge of the sport and how it reflected the American
experience. Lardner's baseball short stories remain the core of his
career and the basis of his enduring reputation. With his unerring
eye for detail and his sense of the absurd, Lardner ranged over the
entire game. He probed not only the nature of the game but also the
lives of the men who played it. His famous portraits, such as those
in "Alibi Ike" and "My Roomy," express his complex responses to
baseball and the people associated with it. Historically accurate
and richly textured, Ring Around the Bases reveals the master at
the height of his craft and celebrates the American pastime. The
collection is the ultimate lineup in baseball fiction. Ring Around
the Bases was originally published by Charles Scribner's Sons in
1992 in cloth. This new paperback edition includes an additional
uncollected short story. Located after the publication of the cloth
edition, "The Courtship of T. Dorgan" truly makes this volume of
thirty-four stories the complete Lardner baseball collection.
