Review

"Klinkowitz combines astute observations and analyses with renderings as leisurely and graceful as the game itself... Short Season stands out as a vivid evocation of a rich and colorful part of the summer game, and deserves a spot on the roster of first-rate baseball books." -- Washington Post



"I have known Jerry Klinkowitz only as one of this country's most interesting and responsible literary critics. It comes as a complete surprise that he writes first-rate baseball stories as well. Is there a chance that he is the illegitimate child of Ring Lardner and Edmund Wilson's sister?" -- Kurt Vonnegut
