Baseball season is underway and the "Opening Day" issue of the fine literary journal Elysian Fields Quarterly: The Baseball Review is on newsstands now. Included in this issue is David Shiner's excellent review of The Night Casey Was Born, titled "How Mudville Found America." The Night Casey Was Born, written by John Evangelist Walsh, tells the true story of the great American ballad Casey at the Bat. "A pleasant and informative read," writes Shiner. "The pace is brisk and appealing, and there's enough diamond action to keep fans happy."
Nice notice in the Los Angeles Times for THE NIGHT CASEY WAS BORN:
"John Evangelist Walsh, the cheerful chronicler of many odd and curious bits of American and other history (Edgar Allan Poe's death, Emily Dickinson's hidden life, the flight of the Wright brothers, among others) explains it all in a delightful book that explores the poem and its author, as well as the baseball and theater culture of the 1880s."
