Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Meticulous notes help the modern reader laugh all the harder at lines like 'Crawford got the luckiest three-base hit I ever see' by noting that Wahoo Sam Crawford of the Detroit Tigers was the most prolific triples hitter in baseball history." -- New York Times Book Review "Already timeless pieces of fiction in their own right, Lardner's stories benefit from the historical context that Hilton's annotations and pictures provide." -- Choice "24 humorous and revealing baseball stories [are] collected in this beautifully illustrated volume. . . Offers photos of the real players mentioned in the stories and footnotes about real events. A gem." -- San Francisco Chronicle "After eight decades the tales remain as charming as ever, and the annotations and illustrations will multiply the enjoyment for any reader, new or old." -- American Heritage "I'll give this book the ultimate reviewer's accolade. If it hadn't been sent to me to review, I would have gone out and bought it anyway. If you're a lover of baseball or American literature, you will, too." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer "This book is a superb introduction to the work of Ring Lardner for a new generation of readers. . . . Hilton's annotations are informational and entertaining." -- Antiquarian Bookman

Reseña del editor:

This is an annotated and copiously illustrated edition of 24 baseball stories by Ring W. Lardner, including the six classic stories later collected as You Know Me Al. Two-thirds of the stories describe real teams, real players, and real situations, and the annotation and illustrations serve to identify the references of early twentieth-century major league baseball that Lardner covered as a reporter.
