Hardcover. Etat : Very good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. Lawrence Ratzkin (Jacket photograph) (illustrateur). viii, [2], 300, [2] pages. DJ has some wearm tears, chips and soiling. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads To Nancy, I hope you enjoy these pieces, especially since I understand that you've been surrounded by serious fans since your days of following the Hollywood Stars. Good luck and best wishes, Tom Boswell. A collection of essays on the sport of baseball, its myths, superstars, pennant races, strategies, ballparks, and other facets of the national pastime. Thomas M. Boswell (born October 11, 1947, in Washington, D.C.) is an American sports columnist. Boswell has spent his entire career at the Washington Post, joining it shortly after graduating from Amherst College in 1969. He became a Post columnist in 1984. Writing primarily about baseball, he is credited with inventing the total average statistic. In 1994 he appeared several times in the Ken Burns series Baseball, sharing insightful commentary into the history of America's national pastime; he appeared again in "The Tenth Inning," Burns' 2010 extension of the series. In addition to the Post, he has written for Esquire, GQ, Playboy and Inside Sports. He also makes frequent television appearances. Derived from a Kirkus review: Most of the pieces in this second collection are purposeful studies of the game. Take entry on the '82 Orioles: "Bred to a Harder Thing Than Triumph." gives us an inside look at a tough pennant race Pieces on ballparks (how baseball differs in each), on types of manager ("Little Napoleons, Peeless Leaders"), on umpires ("Lives of Noisy Desperation"), on pitching rotations ("How to Control the Arms Race"), on catchers ("Half Gurus, Half Beasts of Burden")--have interesting content. "The Importance of Being Third," contrasts how Brooks Robinson and Graig Nettles play the position. "Nine Against One," is a dandy appreciation of the niceties of defense. Along with other myths (like the notions that an 0-2 pitch should always be a ball, a 2-0 pitch a strike), Boswell reviews the revolution in swings started by Hank Aaron, "codified" by Charlie Lau. There are a couple of nice feature pieces: on the coming-of-age of college baseball; on the ever-present past--old-timers' gatherings and games. Boswell says in the closing, title piece: "Baseball offers us pleasure and insight at so many levels and in so many forms." First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
