Acclaimed actors from stage and screen perform tales from the baseball diamond in this newest, three-CD collection of stories from Selected Shorts. Both classic and contemporary works are featured, including a heartwarming piece on some fan habits during a players' strike, by W.P. Kinsella, and a sidesplitting account from T. Coraghessan Boyle of the longest game ever. Many of the readings were recorded during a historic broadcast of the show hosted by the late, beloved baseball commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti. From the first pitch to the final out, these short stories are a lively listening experience. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

From Ken Kalfus' "The Joy and Melancholy Baseball Trivia Quiz," to the Giamatti's classic essay "Green Fields of the Mind," to the two stories that anchor the collection, T.C. Boyle's "The Hector Quesadilla Story" and (my favorite) W.P. Kinsella's "The Thrill of the Grass," this collection of performances will remind the fan why she loves the game and give the non-fan a clue about what makes baseball such a compelling sport. ( )
