When originally published, Baseball: The Writer's Game was hailed as
a unique exploration into what it takes to write about the national pastime.
With two new chapters on Greg Rhodes and Dan Shaughnessy to complement those
on such renowned writers as Roger Khan, W.P. Kinsella, and Robert Creamer,
author Mike Shannon lets each subject explain in his own words the
challenges and the joys of writing about baseball. Shannon explores the
different backgrounds and writing techniques of the subjects, all
experienced baseball authors or historians in their own right, and lets them
rhapsodize on their favorite baseball topics, describe how they became
writers, and offer advice for aspiring authors.
