Baseball's Brief Lives: Player Stories Inspired by the Infinite Inning - Paperback
About this item
by David Roth (Foreword by), Steven Goldman (Author)
The Infinite Inning podcast asks, "How do you progress through life when you can't get the third out?" Baseball's Brief Lives: Player Stories Inspired by the Infinite Inning explores that question by examining the lives and careers of 100 greats of the game in a series of biographical essays featuring stats, analysis, eyewitness reactions, and an awareness of the interconnectedness of baseball and the greater world that has always been a hallmark of Steven Goldman's writing. From celebrated athletes such as Henry Aaron, Pedro Martinez, and Pee Wee Reese to forgotten but no-less-memorable players like Bad Bill Dahlen, spinach-obsessed second baseman Ski Melillo, and worst-ever Yankees shortstop Pee-Wee Wanninger, Baseball's Brief Lives finds the sweet spot linking baseball and life itself in their equally marvelous complexities.
