Description: Cover features the 1933 Triple Crown winners, Hall-of-Famers Jimmie Foxx (front) of the Philadelphia Athletics and Chuck Klein (obverse) of the Philadelphia Phillies. From the files of photographer Bruce Murray. Highlights: A fine issue that features a full-length play on Ty Cobb by Michael Riccards, some of the timeless baseball "portraits" by noted photographer Bruce Murray, and a reminiscence by Bill Murphy on the day Carl Yastrzemski came to rural Topsfield, Mass. Other highlights include Mike Shaler's excellent piece on "Franchise Stability and Expansion" (in view of the Giants near move to St. Pete, Fl. and continuing threats by other teams), Richard Thompson's historical account of how Harvard beat the Red Sox in a spring exhibition in 1916, Jeffrey DeMark's short yet sweet portrayal of "Willie Mays and the Vaportrail of Fame," Jack LaZebnik's always witty report on opening day in St. Louis, Robert Dodge's fictional "The Catch" about a struggling minor leaguer, and Robert Moss's interesting analysis of the real-life identity of the title character in Bernard Malamud's The Natural. Book reviews on The Cleveland Indian, The Outfielder, Gil Hodges, and Collision at Home Plate, and nine "innings" of ballplayer poems, including Chet Nichols, Billy Martin, Harlond Clift, Luke Easter, and Donnie Moore. Volume 12, Number 3. 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 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.
