Synopsis

As abundant and layered as the National Pastime itself, The Big Book of Baseball Stories takes the reader on a rich journey that circles the bases of the game’s history and literature—its Giants, its dramas, its tragedies, and its laughs—as it rolls through the typewriters of some of the game’s mightiest scribes, from Walt Whitman and Mark Twain to Grantland Rice and Ring Lardner, even Abbott and Costello. Rediscover the feats of Babe Ruth, Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb, and Frank Merriwell; bask in the prose of P.G. Wodehouse, Paul Gallico, and Zane Gray; and dive into the very mystery of the meaning of the seventh-inning stretch.

If you love baseball, you’ll love The Big Book of Baseball Stories. Whitman called baseball “our game . . . America’s game.” It was then. It still is. The words within these pages invite you to remember why.
