Inhaltsangabe:

The essays in Fathers Playing Catch with Sons are a wonderful mixture of reminiscence and observation, of baseball and of fathers and sons, of how a game binds people together and bridges generations.

In the pantheon of great sports literature, not a few poets have tried their hand at paying tribute to their love affair with the game--Walt Whitman, Marianne Moore, and William Carlos Williams among them. This elegant volume collects Donald Hall's prose about sports, concentrating on baseball but extending to basketball, football and Ping-Pong.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Donald Hall is the author of nine collections of poetry, the Caldecott Award-winning childrens book The Ox-Cart Man, and a collection of essays on sports, Fathers Playing Catch with Sons. He lives in Danbury, New Hampshire.
