Provides a collection of 18 essays, covering a range of topics, including the way major American writers have challenged the pastoral idea of baseball envisioned by Whitman; the tension between the game as a business and the game as public trust; and the role of race and gender in both the game and culture.

The Conference on Baseball in Literature and American Culture has consistently produced a strong body of scholarship since its inception in 1995. Essays presented at the 2008 and 2009 conferences are published in the present work.

Topics covered include religion; class and racial dichotomies in the literature of cricket and baseball; re-reading The Natural in the 21st century; the feminist movement; Don DeLillo''s Game 6; baseball in Seinfeld; Robert B. Parker; Harry Stein''s Hoopla; Negro league owner Tom Wilson''s impact on Nashville; Major League Baseball''s postwar boom; and overwrought baseball editorials, among others.
