Description: Cover features the famous Elysian Fields baseball scene. Highlights: EFQ's inaugural issue touched all the bases, with a terrific analysis by Ethan Casey of The Sporting News' blatant support of the Tigers and MLB's greed-driven assault on classic ballparks; a wonderful perspective on "radio" baseball by Robert Warde; Murray Browne's interesting examination of Bill James place in baseball lore; Cliff Peale's revealing interview with Roger Kahn twenty years after The Boys of Summer; Historian John Thorn's intriguing research piece on the "true" father of baseball; Staff Writer's humorous "This Ain't the MRB Anymore"; a special philosophy section featuring B. Lanning's application of Sun Tzu's aphorisms in the "Art of Baseball," Ted Cohen's examination of the concept of "tie goes to the runner," and Louis Phillips' clever translation of Aristotle's "On Baseball"; poetry by Rodney Torreson, Mick Hatten, and Jack Jadick; and Robert Hamblin's fictional "The Day Baseball was Banned at Brice's Crossroads." Volume 11, Number 1. Length: 112 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 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.
