1998 ELYSIAN FIELDS QUARTERLY BASEBALL JOURNAL

Description: Cover features Hall-of-Fame infielder Nellie Fox. Highlights: A retrospective on Nellie Fox by David Ginzl, a glimpse at the social change wrought by the 1964 World Series by Bill McGill, fiction by Kevin Michaels ("Sister Carrie") about a relationship that unravels at the ballpark, a manifesto for a new baseball fan organization, a conversation with female professional ballplayer Anita Selvaggio, and Mike Lipstock's remembrance of his idol Sid Gordon. Also, "The Tryout" by David Allen Evans; John Rossi on Jackie Robinson's first game in Philadelphia; poetry on struggling hurler Scott Taylor's first major league start and a frustrated minor league manager, as well as tributes to Dummy Hoy and Jimmy Blake; and book reviews of Jackie Robinson, A False Spring, Hardball, and A Prayer for the Opening of the Little League Season. Volume 15, Number 2. Length: 96 pages. Note: From 1992 through 2008, Elysian Fields Quarterly was the pre-eminent journal of baseball literature and culture--a beautiful 6x9 perfect-bound publication packed with articles, essays, poetry, fiction, book reviews, humor, fantasy lineups, quirky illustrations, and a great deal more. Like its predecessor, The Minneapolis Review of Baseball, EFQ featured contributors ranging from accomplished academics to first-time writers, and forged a special niche among readers that wasn't dependent on mainstream sportswriters or pundits to give it credibility. Although the publication went on hiatus in 2008, perhaps a comeback might still be around the corner. Issue is in new condition, leftover from unsold original inventory.
