Paperback. Condition: Good. Voted a Goodreads Top 10 baseball novel of all time. A sweeping historical novel set in the 1888 dawn of professional baseball when African-American players were banned, umpires routinely beaten, and the game shifted from a collegial pastime of gentlemen to a nasty fight to the death by gritty Irish immigrants. Del Leonard Jones, author of The Cremation of Sam McGee, is trailblazing a new flavor of historical novel built upon the beloved ballads that have withstood time. There are 112 baseball novels listed on Goodreads. This is voted No. 9 and rising. The best work of adult baseball fiction in a long time, Wild West magazine says: Fans won't want this fascinating last at-bat ever to end. Larry Weisman, USA Today sports writer for 25 years, says: I found myself thinking of E.L. Doctorow's historical novels that blend fictional characters with known persons of a time to create a different reality. This book expands on the legend of the Mighty Casey, the strikeout immortalized in baseball legend, and the interplay of so many involved people -- the umpire, Casey, the groundbreaking woman journalist Nellie Bly. What brought these folks together in Mudville in 1888 at baseball's dawn? What happened next, and ever after? Del Leonard Jones writes with clarity as he constructs the memorable players in a tale that covers some 70 years. As a longtime sports writer I love a creative journey through that sports/culture portal. Really enjoyed seeing this story unfold. At the Bat: The Strikeout that Shamed America is filled with rich characters and a unique narrative of folklore. It really is such a gem. I love the fluidity of time in the story. I love how the umpire Walter Brewster is an on the spectrum character, lovable and pure, whose moral compass never waivers. He is a true hero. Del strikes a nice balance in the tone, with alternating moments of humor and heartbreak. There are so many wonderful layers to this story. It could be read again and again -- each time delivering something new. Bravo - T. Greenwood, author of Keeping Lucy. Outrageously wonderful In the capable hands of Del Jones, Casey's legendary at-bat might be the longest and most riotous in baseball history, real or imagined. Anyone who has ever recited or listened to Ernest Thayer's 1888 poem will know the outcome. But Mr. Jones tells us what happened before, during and afterward not only to Casey himself but also to Nellie Bly, the world-renowned reporter, and two masked men behind the plate, antiheroic umpire Walter Brewster and disguised catcher Grasshopper Nova. They delightfully expand in prose that time-honored verse. Fans won't want this fascinating last at-bat to ever end. Thank the baseball gods that there is no clock to confine our National Pastime. Del Jones, the author of The Cremation of Sam McGee, strikes again and does not strike out -Gregory Lalire, editor of Wild West magazine and author of Our Frontier Pastime, 1804-1815. This baseball fiction, a baseball novel written for the adult reader of 15 and older, that rivals great baseball literature such as The Natural by Bernard Malamud, The Great American Novel, by Philip Roth, The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach, The Universal Baseball Association by Robert Coover, Shoeless Joe and The Iowa Baseball Confederacy by W.P. Kinsella, You Know Me Al by Ring Lardner, The Southpaw by Mark Harris and The Cactus League by Emily Nemens There are 112 baseball novels ranked by Goodreads and this is #9 and climbing. Don't mistake this heartwarming, evocative masterpiece for just another baseball story Five Stars. I highly recommend At the Bat: The Strikeout That Shamed America to readers of all ages and genders for its literary quality as well as for the entertainment value and tremendous reading pleasure. - Iris Chacon, author.…
