In his eclectic paean to America's favorite pastime, Smith has not so much written about baseball as he has attempted to capture the poetry inherent in the game. His uneven but thoughtfully varied collection includes a play-by-play, a baseball player's superstitions, and a selection of standard advice, all accompanied by nostalgic color photos of young (male) players.
