Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Printing [Stated]. xiii, 388 pages. Illustrations. DJ is price clipped and has some wear along the edges. Foreword by Peter V. Ueberroth. More than sixty contributions come together in this affectionate look at baseball, from writers, reporters, and raconteu…rs including Roger Angell, Jim Bouton, Roger Kahn, Philip Roth, James Michener, Red Smith, John Updike, and more. This is one of the Armchair Library series. John A. Thorn (born April 17, 1947) is a German-born sports historian, author, publisher, and cultural commentator. Since March 1, 2011, he has been the Official Baseball Historian for Major League Baseball. Thorn served as the senior creative consultant for the 1994 Ken Burns documentary Baseball. In 2004, Thorn discovered documentation that traced the origins of baseball in America to 1791 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He has also attempted to shed light on the contributions of 19th century pioneers of the game, while debunking common misconceptions. In June 2006, the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) bestowed on Thorn its highest accolade, the Bob Davids Award. The award honors those whose contributions to SABR and baseball reflect the ingenuity, integrity, and self-sacrifice of the founder and past president of SABR, L. Robert "Bob" Davids. James Stevenson, the humorist and cartoonist, illustrated this book. He is a staff writer for the New Yorker Magazine, the author of several books. Derived from a review found posted on-line: Mr. Thorn includes 61 prose and verse selections arranged alphabetically by author. There's a great deal of assorted commentary and humor. Scientist Stephen Jay Gould explains `"The Extinction of the .400 Hitter'' memorably and succinctly . Other writers look to "extreme achievers'' of the past, in such vivid pieces as Gay Talese's profile of Joe DiMaggio in retirement; Thomas Boswell's insouciant evaluation of "Mr. October,'' Reggie Jackson; and Red Smith's tribute to Howard Ehmke, the unlikely veteran hero of the 1929 World Series. Abbott and Costello's "Who's on First'' comedy routine comes across surprisingly well on the printed page, and Russell Baker's imaginary interview with Yankees' president George Steinbrenner (on the subject of firing employees) is wryly amusing. But few readers will find anything funny in the labored "Quotations from Chairman Pete [Rose],'' or much worth preserving in the boring, overheated prose of the late celebrity-sportswriter Jimmy Cannon. There are several good poems from May Swenson, John Updike, and Robert Fitzgerald. There are excerpts from baseball fiction (by Ring Lardner, Robert Coover, and John Sayles) - and from classic nonfiction books like Roger Kahn's "The Boys of Summer'' and Robert Creamer's "Babe''. It's perhaps just as well that Thorn offers only two speculative essays that attempt to define baseball's appeal. Yale president A. Bartlett Giamatti's "The Green Fields of the Mind'' acknowledges the sentimentalism that is at the heart of fan-dom. And Philip Roth's "My Baseball Years'' contends that the game as played (and followed) some 30 years ago was a genuine socializing force. These 61 companion pieces suggest the essential truth of Jim Bouton's memorable observation (in his "Ball Four''): "You spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball, and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time.'' Even those of us who never played the game can feel that tug, and will welcome the vicarious satisfactions to be found in this splendid and entertaining book. James Stevenson (illustrator).

Will. John A. Thorn (born April 17, 1947) is a German-born sports historian, author, publisher, and cultural commentator.

Thorn is the author and editor of numerous books, including Total Baseball: The Official Encyclopedia of Major League Baseball, Treasures of the Baseball Hall of Fame, The Hidden Game of Baseball, The Glory Days: New York Baseball 1947?1957, and The Armchair Book of Baseball. His 2011 book, Baseball in the Garden of Eden: The Secret History of the Early Game was an in-depth chronicle of the seminal development and pioneers of the sport. A New York Times review of the latter book referred to Thorn as "a researcher of colossal diligence." Thorn is also the co-author with Pete Palmer and Bob Carroll of The Hidden Game of Football and with them co-editors of Total Football. His book New York 400, a graphic history of the city timed for its quadricentennial, created with the Museum of the City of New York and Running Press, was published in September 2009.

Wraps. Zustand: Good. Quarto (approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches). 88 pages plus covers. Wraps. Profusely illustrated. Cover color illustration. Some wear and soiling to covers, small tears at spine. Rare surviving Premiere issue copy. Baseball History Lives. The National Pastime has sprung into being to depict the panorama o…f Baseball. The Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) is an organization dedicated to the research and dissemination of the history and record of baseball. It was established in August 1971. The acronym "SABR" may have lent its root to the word sabermetrics (for the use of mathematical tools to analyze baseball), the Society is about more than statistics. Well known figures in the baseball world such as Bob Costas, and Keith Olbermann are members, along with highly regarded "sabermetricians" such as Bill James. Among Major League players Jeff Bajenaru, Elden Auker, Larry Dierker, and Andy Seminick have been involved. The Baseball Research Journal (BRJ) is SABR's flagship publication for members to publish and share their research. The National Pastime: A Review of Baseball History was published from 1982 to 2008. From 1982 to 2008, the magazine was intended as a more literary outlet for SABR members to publish their research, in comparison to the more statistically inclined Baseball Research Journal. The history of baseball in the United States can be traced to the 19th century, when amateurs played a baseball-like game by their own informal rules using home made equipment. With this offering, the editor brings SABR's pictorial history of baseball from 1920 to 1946, "The Big-Bang Era". On display in these pages is a remarkable period, spanning the roaring twenties, the Great Depression, and the Second World War. Amidst all the swirl of change, baseball retained its sixteen franchises, in the sixteen sites that were in force in 1903. Nevertheless, baseball did have changes during this period--the slash-and-run style gave way to the pursuit of the home run and the big inning. Special Pictorial Issue: Baseball in the Big-Bang Era. First printing [stated].
