Essays about baseball's past, present, and future--and the wisdom of Ichiro Suzuki
The Only Way Is the Steady Way
 is a baseball memoir in scorecards and baseball cards, a recollection 
of the game's biggest stars and outlandish personalities, and 
introspective letters to a legendary player. These essays examine the 
meaning of baseball across international borders and at all levels of 
the game--from Little League diamonds to big league ballparks. Parents 
learn unexpected lessons at t-ball, cheap souvenirs reveal their hidden 
significance, and baseball's beating heart is exposed through sharply 
beautiful observations about the history of the game. Forbes locates 
peace, reassurance, and a way to measure the passage of time with home 
run bonanzas, old games on YouTube, and especially in the unique career 
of beloved outfielder Ichiro Suzuki.
Just as he did in The Utility of Boredom, 
 Forbes shows us how a summertime distraction might help us to make 
sense of the world, and how a certain enigmatic Japanese superstar 
offers a surprising ethos for living.
"Andrew Forbes's essays are cool and clear and may well slake the thirst of any thinking baseball fan."--Rob Neyer, author of Power Ball: Anatomy of a Modern Baseball Game
