With a legacy that spans two fiercely loyal baseball towns a half-nation apart, the Baltimore Orioles rank among baseball's most storied teams.

This volume collects 19 contemporary baseball short stories characterized by the same elements that draw people to the sport itself: the mythologizing of the players; the obsessions and romance of the game; and the bonds between players and fans, parents and children.

This 25th anniversary edition restores to print Charles Einstein's biography of one of baseball's legends.
