More Praise for Twilight of the Long-ball Gods

Twilight_of_the_longball_godsTwilight of the Long-ball Gods: Dispatches from the Disappearing Heart of Baseball by John Schulian

“For those who love baseball but sometimes wonder why, amidst the barrage of headlines about steroid use, grand jury investigations, and lavish excesses, John Schulian’s Twilight of the Long-ball Gods will, lyrically and poetically, reaffirm your affection for America’s greatest game. This sparkling anthology of columns . . . solidifies Schulian’s place among the elite of contemporary baseball writers. In fact, I prefer Schulian to, for example, Roger Angell and Tom Boswell . . . because the subjects Schulian chooses to write about are more intriguing. . . . Hopefully, there will be more gifted writers like John Schulian to capture stories that are filled with the same insight and eloquence found in Twilight of the Long-ball Gods.”—C. Paul Rogers III, Elysian Fields Quarterly
