Description

Baseball is a game of fine points and grand gestures, small blunders and bold accomplishments--the hook slide into second, the humble bunt, the unexpected wild pitch, the bases-loaded home run. Poet and baseball fan Marjorie Maddox pays tribute to these and other details that make the national pastime an enduring and engaging sport for players and fans alike. Surprising wordplay and keen images offer a unique perspective of the classic American game. John Sandford's memorable characters and scenes play up the drama.

Author Biography:

Marjorie Maddox grew up with baseball, and she and her family have continued the rich tradition of the sport.

She lives in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, home of the Little League World Series. A professor of English at Lock Haven University, she is the author of a dozen collections of poetry, a short story collection, and four children's books.
