Tracing the thematic arc of a typical season, the essays begin with stories of spring training optimism, followed by the guts and grind of the regular season, and ending with the glory (or heartbreak) of the playoffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Arvidson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147666983X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476669830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Chris Arvidson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47001558745343,"sku":"9781476669830","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2fad2a79-ce37-4d57-82df-17233cb43ea9.jpg?v=1751601435","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-love-of-baseball-chris-arvidson-9781476669830","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
