Bottom of the Ninth Great Contemporary Baseball Short Stories

Skillfully edited by John McNally,Bottom of the Ninth: Great Contemporary Baseball Short Storiescollects nineteen contemporary baseball short stories from a successful mix of well-established writers, lesser-knowns, and a few up-and-comers. These stories are characterized by the same dramatic elements that draw people to the sport itself--the mythologizing of players, the obsessions and romance of the game, the bonds between players and fans, parents and children. From a key play, a missed catch, a chance lost, these are tales of characters facing high stakes and calls to action, metaphorically and literally, in the bottom of the ninth.McNally, John is the author of 'Bottom of the Ninth Great Contemporary Baseball Short Stories' with ISBN 9780809325054 and ISBN 0809325055.
