| Publisher Description: George Bowering is fond of baseball, and he likes the alphabet. Having written a few baseball books and a few alphabet books over the years, he decided to write a baseball alphabet book. Diamond Alphabet is made up of 130 between-innings takes, five for each letter. You probably expected Mays, but were you ready for Uzbekistan? Tall tales, memories, facts and opinions are interwoven in this delightful collection of short takes on the gentleman's game, written only as a poet can. |
