Synopsis
Of all sports, none has inspired more great writing than baseball. And the best of this writing--penned by a stellar lineup of major-league authors and players--appears here in this wonderfully abundant anthology from the editor of the classic Fireside Books of Baseball.

From Library Journal
His three Fireside Books of Baseball ( Third Fireside Book of Baseball , LJ 2/15/69) won praise in Mike Shannon's Diamond Classics ( LJ 8/89) as "a landmark of baseball literature." Now Einstein follows his Baseball Reader (Lippincott, 1980) with some Fireside gems the Reader missed. Some new pieces include a Fay Vincent tribute to the real hero of the 1989 World Series, and more poetry. Optional if you own the older books, recommended elsewhere.
