Book excerpt: At Westish College, a small school on the shore of Lake Michigan, baseball star Henry Skrimshander seems destined for big league stardom. But when a routine throw goes disastrously off course, the fates of five people are upended. Henry's fight against self-doubt threatens to ruin his future. College president Guert Affenlight, a longtime bachelor, has fallen unexpectedly and helplessly in love. Owen Dunne, Henry's gay roommate and teammate, becomes caught up in a dangerous affair. Mike Schwartz, the Harpooners' team captain and Henry's best friend, realizes he has guided Henry's career at the expense of his own. And Pella Affenlight, Guert's daughter, returns to Westish after escaping an ill-fated marriage, determined to start a new life. As the season counts down to its climactic final game, these five are forced to confront their deepest hopes, anxieties, and secrets. In the process they forge new bonds, and help one another find their true paths. Written with boundless intelligence and filled with the tenderness of youth, The Art of Fielding is an expansive, warmhearted novel about ambition and its limits, about family and friendship and love, and about commitment--to oneself and to others.

Download or read book The Natural written by Bernard Malamud and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2003-07-07 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classical novel (and basis for the acclaimed film starring Robert Redford) now in a new edition Introduction by Kevin Baker The Natural, Bernard Malamud's first novel, published in 1952, is also the first—and some would say still the best—novel ever written about baseball. In it Malamud, usually appreciated for his unerring portrayals of postwar Jewish life, took on very different material—the story of a superbly gifted "natural" at play in the fields of the old daylight baseball era—and invested it with the hardscrabble poetry, at once grand and altogether believable, that runs through all his best work. Four decades later, Alfred Kazin's comment still holds true: "Malamud has done something which—now that he has done it!—looks as if we have been waiting for it all our lives. He has really raised the whole passion and craziness and fanaticism of baseball as a popular spectacle to its ordained place in mythology."

Book Synopsis The Art of Catching by : Brent Mayne
Download or read book The Art of Catching written by Brent Mayne and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instruction from a pro. Catching is the most important defensive position on the field, yet little expert instruction about how to succeed as a catcher has been readily available -- until now. In The Art of Catching, former major leaguer Brent Mayne distills sixteeen years of professional experience to provide cutting-edge overviews of all the crucial technical aspects of the position, including: athletic posture and stances; glove mechanics and throwing to bases; pitchouts, back picks, and handling pop flies; calling games and working with pitchers; making plays at the plate without getting hurt; getting the most out of drills and bullpen time; what it takes to play in the big leagues. Mayne cautions: "Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent. In other words, if you have poor technique when you practice, that is what you will take out to the game." This manual will help ensure that your technique is stellar. The information in this book is applicable to players at all levels, from Little League to the major leagues. With many photos and illustrations, summaries of key points, and thought-provoking quotations, The Art of Catching is the essential instruction manual for coaches and aspiring catchers everywhere. - Back cover.
Book Synopsis Pitching in a Pinch, Or, Baseball from the Inside by : Christy Mathewson
Download or read book Pitching in a Pinch, Or, Baseball from the Inside written by Christy Mathewson and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christy Mathewson (1880?1925) was the greatest baseball pitcher of his day, a hero with appeal reaching beyond sports. A college-educated player from Pennsylvania farm country, he restored respectability to a game tarnished by the rowdies who had dominated baseball in the 1890s. Pitchingøin a Pinch, originally published in 1912, is an insider?s account blending anecdote, biography, instruction, and social history. It celebrates baseball as it was played in the first decade of the twentieth century by famous contemporaries like Honus Wagner and Rube Marquand, managers like John McGraw and Connie Mack, and many others. Always sensitive to psychology as well as technique, Mathewson describes the ?dangerous batters? he faced, the ?peculiarities? of big-league pitchers, the ?good and bad? of coaching, umpiring, sign-stealing, base-running, spring training, and the importance of superstition to athletes. Matty, as he was called, makes the reader feel that tense moment when a player in a pinch must use his head.
Download or read book Off Speed written by Terry McDermott and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longlisted for the PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing. The lively and fascinating story of baseball’s 150-year hunt for the perfect pitch. In August 2012, Felix Hernandez of the Seattle Mariners pitched a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays in what Terry McDermott calls “one of the greatest exhibitions of off-speed pitches ever put on.” For McDermott, a lifelong fan and student of baseball, the extraordinary events of that afternoon inspired this incisive meditation on the art of pitching. Within the framework of Hernandez’s historic achievement, Off Speed provides a vibrant narrative of the history and evolution of pitching, combining baseball's rich tradition of folklore with the wealth of new metrics from a growing legion of statisticians who are transforming the way we think about the game. Off Speed is also the personal story of a fan’s steadfast devotion, first kindled in McDermott by his father at the local diamond in small-town Iowa and now carried forward with the same passion by his own daughters. Approaching his subject with the love every fan brings to the park and the expertise of a probing journalist, McDermott explores with irrepressible curiosity the science and the romance of baseball.
