 September 23, 2011Fenway Park book giveaway*Today (Friday) is the last day to submit your story for consideration!The good folks at St. Martin's Press have been kind enough to offer three copies of their new book, Fenway Park: The Centennial: 100 Years of Red Sox Baseball (reviewed by yours truly here) to The Hardball Times' readers. And the powers that be at THT have allowed me to determine how the recipients of those three copies will be determined. Let's keep this simple. In the comments below, post your favorite Fenway- or Red Sox-related story. It might be an in-person account of a trip to the ballpark, a particularly memorable game you saw on TV, or perhaps a made-up scenario you have always dreamed about (a Red Sox-Cubs World Series, for example). The three best stories—as determined by this unbiased, non-Bosox fan judge—will have their very own copies of Fenway Park: The Centennial sent their way. Posted by: Greg Simons February 07, 2011The Havana Heat is on againThere are writers of historical baseball fiction, and then there is Darryl Brock. There are the rest, and then there is the best.It's been more than ten years since the original publication of Havana Heat, Brock's rollicking second work in the genre. His first novel, If I Never Get Back, published in 1990, was a delightful hit, a fanciful time-travel adventure in which a modern-day fellow is transported back to spend the summer of 1869 on the road with the Cincinnati Red Stockings. Havana Heat is perhaps not as well known, but if anything it's a better work than If I Never Get Back: a more serious novel, with greater depth and poignancy, dealing with tougher issues.

Posted by: Steve Treder August 11, 2008Baseball and poetryIt's poetry day at Shysterball, where Craig has highlighted this lyrical poem by Jonathan Holden as well as Levi Stahl's piece drawing parallels between baseball and poetry. Levi quotes Marianne Moore:Fanaticism? No. Writing is exciting
and baseball is like writing.
You can never tell with either
how it will go
