Description: Cover features Bobby Brown, platoon player extraordinaire with the New York Yankees. Highlights: Paul Rogers' lengthy, insightful interview with former A.L. President Bobby Brown; Peter Bjarkman explodes the myth of Fidel Castro as a big league pitching prospect; editor Steve Lehman's review of baseball's ignorance about addiction; Paul Chaplin's review of Bud Selig's afflictions; Chris Christensen's disenchantment with baseball's "home run derby"; and Rick Wilber's enchantment with baseball in Tampa Bay. Two poignant memoirs include Dan Stoneking on an afternoon spent talking and fishing with the great Joe DiMaggio and EFQ founder Ken LaZebnik's remembrance of a baseball fan and friend who recently lost a battle with ALS. Joseph Connolly's "Heinie Manush Tries for Third" is a wonderful story of an elderly man coping with grief and separation, while John Rosengren's "Couldfield" relates a country ballplayer with a knack for the HBP. More fine poetry from John Poff, Edward Rielly, Lynn Rigney Schott, and others; and book reviews of Take Two and Hit to Right, Baseball's Pivotal Era, and Underworld. Volume 16, Number 3. 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.
