Book excerpt: Tokyo, 1890. Toyo is caught up in the competitive world of boarding school, and must prove himself to make the team in a new sport called besuboru. But he grieves for his uncle, a samurai who sacrificed himself for his beliefs, at a time when most of Japan is eager to shed ancient traditions. It's only when his father decides to teach him the way of the samurai that Toyo grows to better understand his uncle and father. And to his surprise, the warrior training guides him to excel at baseball, a sport his father despises as yet another modern Western menace. Toyo searches desperately for a way to prove there is a place for his family's samurai values in modern Japan. Baseball might just be the answer, but will his father ever accept a Western game that stands for everything he despises?

Book excerpt: A disastrous error on the field sends five lives into a tailspin in this widely acclaimed tale about love, life, and baseball, praised by the New York Times as "wonderful...a novel that is every bit as entertaining as it is affecting." Named one of the year's best books by the New York Times, NPR, The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Christian Science Monitor, Bloomberg, Kansas City Star, Richmond Times-Dispatch, and Time Out New York. 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. "First novels this complete and consuming come along very, very seldom." --Jonathan Franzen

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I met Neil Berry in October 2013 when he was 91. I had recently met his daughter, Linda, and when she mentioned that her father was the "oldest living Detroit Tiger" I had no qualms about asking to meet him. In preparation for this first meeting, I combed eBay for any memorabilia suitable for this former Tiger player to sign. To my surprise, when I handed over my vintage photograph of a play at the plate, Neil was immediately able to recognize the team and face of the catcher he had played against 65 years ago. Neil remembered his life in amazing detail and his anecdotes were colorful and razor sharp. Neil Berry was a star athlete for Kalamazoo Central and made the majors in 1948. Berry is not a household name even among the most ardent Tiger fans, but Neil played with or against many of the greatest players in the game; Satchel Paige, Jackie Robinson, Yogi Berra, Ted Williams, Bob Feller, Hal Newhouser, and Don Larsen, to name a few. Through the ups and downs of his seven year Major League career, Neil Berry witnessed many unique or one time events in the history of the sport. Neil was playing shortstop when the shortest player in the history of the Major Leagues made the only plate appearance of his short (pun intended) career. Neil witnessed a teammate throw a no hitter in his first major league start and another teammate set a record with 12 consecutive hits. Neil's favorite game forced the first playoff game in the history of the American League. From that first meeting, he shared his stories and his scrapbooks with me almost weekly until he passed away in 2016. These scrapbooks had been dutifully and lovingly compiled by Neil's wife Gloria. She collected every word the press wrote about him starting with his high school days until his final days playing ball. From the perspective of the sportswriters of the time to the hours of recorded conversations from the "oldest living Detroit Tiger," here is the life and times of the shortstop from Kalamazoo.
