2000 ELYSIAN FIELDS QUARTERLY BASEBALL JOURNAL

Description: Cover features Nadine Hazelwood, woman professional baseball player and future 2004 Woman's World Cup participant for Canada. Highlights: Another incisive column by editor Steve Lehman that examines the real issues in the John Rocker controversy; Red Shuttleworth looks at baseball from his dual perspective as a community college coach with a ball playing son; former big leaguer John Poff, author of the powerful Donnie Moore piece from EFQ issue 14:1, offers yet another terrific behind-the-scenes view of life in the minors with his fictionalized "Amphetamine Story #1"; photographer Laura Wulf shares her wonderful portfolio of "women playing baseball" photos with a series of images from a short-lived women's pro league and from the 1998 Women's National Championship; Larry Fangman contributes a raucous one-act play in which Hoss Cartwright, Charles Manson, and Emily Dickinson all gather at the ballpark in pursuit of Mark McGwire's 71st home run ball; and George Gmelch provides another installment of his fascinating series on ballplayers climbing the pro ranks. Fiction by Art Grillo (about a fantasy camp attendee in a mid-life crisis) and Steve Feldman (a Royals cookbook is the recipe for a broken marriage), and fine poetry from Lynn Rigney Schott (on her dad Bill Rigney), Sarah Freligh (a no-hitter trilogy), and William Snyder (a duo on Babe Ruth). Also, an historical piece on little known 19th century second base pioneer Ross Barnes; memories of Little League; humor by Staff Writer; the All-Ailment team; and book reviews that include first Dave Moore Award winner The Pride of Havana and 2000 award finalist Havana Heat. Volume 17, Number 2. Length: 112 pages. 6x9" format. 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.
