Rating:  Summary: With an additional, previously uncollected short story Review: First published in book form in 1992, Ring Around The Bases anthologizes the baseball short stories of famous twentieth century baseball expert and sports journalist Ring Lardner (1885-1933). Featuring an additional, previously uncollected short story in this outstanding 644-page paperback edition (edited and with an introduction by Matthew J. Bruccoli who is the Emily Brown Jefferies Professor of English at the University of South Carolina - Columbia), Ring Around The Bases, offers insights not only into the great game, but the characters of those who played it. Drawing heavily upon Lardner's lengthy experience reporting the sport, these tales make turn of the century sports excitement truly come alive. Ring Around The Bases is an important addition to any academic, or community library Sports History collection in general -- and the personal reading lists of dedicated baseball fans in particular.
