Description: 2002 ELYSIAN FIELDS QUARTERLY BASEBALL JOURNALCover features Helen Callaghan, AAGPBL player and mother of former major leaguer Casey Candaele.Highlights: Our 35th issue features a wonderful reflection by filmmaker Kelly Candaele, consultant to the film A League of Their Own, on growing up with his mom, Helen Callaghan, a former star of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in the 1940s. Other highlights include an interview with singer-songwriter/baseball balladeer Chuck Brodsky; why Wrigley Field might face extinction; "Announcer- speak" by Dennis Gould; a Ted Williams retrospective by John Nunes; plus remembering the 1967 Red Sox by Robert Dobrusin and Burt Shotton's Brooklyn Dodgers by Robert Moss. Excellent fiction includes Brian Tanguay's ("The Rookie"), about a late-blooming star whose brush with his past threatens a pennant drive; Larry Fangman's hilarious "The Longest Inning," about an infield beset with tragedy; and Scott Winkler's poignant tale ("Burning Gorman Thomas") of a young baseball fan, farm life, and the 1982 Brewers near-championship season. "Terror in the Desert" is the latest humorous tale from Staff Writer, this time about a baseball entrepreneur colliding with a young Iraqi politician in the Egyptian desert. Also, fine poetry on pitching and catching, the age-old lament of Cubs and Red Sox fans, and the wonderful "Agbayani"; five book reviews (Sixty Feet Six Inches, The Putnam baseball histories reprints, Clearing the Bases, The Faith of 50 Million, and A Legend in the Making); the All-Nautical Team; and more.Volume 19, Number 4. Length: 96 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.Visit www.efqreview.com for more details about the journal and to read sample articles.Thanks for your interest in this item, and please check out our other listings.
