Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: very good. First Printing [Stated]. [14], 176, [2] pages. Illustrations. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Signed by author on title page. Barry Svrluga is the national baseball writer for The Washington Post, and the Washington Post website. He was previously the beat re…porter for the Washington Nationals and later covered the Washington Redskins. While on the Nationals beat, he blogged at the Nationals Journal. The blog dissects and analyzes all things Nationals several times daily. AT 162 GAMES, baseball has the sports world's longest season. Grueling. Thrilling. Routine. Lonely. Exhilarating. Major league ballplayers even have a name for this relentless, unmatchable rhythm: The Grind. In The Grind, Barry Svrluga, The Washington Post's national baseball correspondent, zooms in on the 2014 Washington Nationals, reporting not just on the roster's star players, but also on the typically invisible supporting cast who each have their own sacrifices to make and schedules to keep. There's The Wife, who acts as a full-time mom, part-time real estate agent, occasional father, and all-hours dog walker; The 26th Man, a minor leaguer on the cusp of job security who gets called up to the majors only to be sent back down the very next week; The Reliever, one of the most mentally taxing, precarious, and terribly exposed positions on any pro squad. These and many more players, scouts, equipment managers, and even travel schedulers create the fabric of Svrluga's intimate and unusual book. In The Grind, Barry Svrluga has given us an unforgettably raw, inside look at the wear and tear, the glory and impermanence, of America's pastime.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. [14], 176, [2] pages. Illustrations. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Inscribed by author on half-title page. The inscription reads Jonathan and Sarah--NATS in 2015? 2016? You have to survive the grid to find out. Barry Svrluga. [Note:… they needed to wait until 2019!] Barry Svrluga is a sports columnist for The Washington Post and is a frequent contributor on The Tony Kornheiser Show. Barry Svrluga has written for a number of newspapers, from The Leader in Corning, New York, to The Portland Press Herald in Maine to The News & Observer in Raleigh, North Carolina, before joining The Washington Post. He was previously the national baseball writer at the Post. Earlier in his career he was the first beat reporter for the Washington Nationals upon the return of baseball to Washington, DC. He wrote a book, National Pastime, about the Nationals' first season in DC. He later covered the Washington Redskins and he has been a regular member of the Post's Olympic coverage team. While on the Nationals beat, he blogged at the Nationals Journal. The blog dissects and analyzes all things Nationals several times daily. As beat writer, Svrluga was present the night Barry Bonds hit his 756th home run and wrote the companion piece from the perspective of Nationals starting pitcher Mike Bacsik to Washington Post reporter Dave Sheinin's account of the record breaking home run. He is a four-time winner of the D.C. Sportswriter of the Year Award. AT 162 GAMES, baseball has the sports world's longest season. Grueling. Thrilling. Routine. Lonely. Exhilarating. Major league ballplayers even have a name for this relentless, unmatchable rhythm: The Grind. In The Grind, Barry Svrluga, The Washington Post's national baseball correspondent, zooms in on the 2014 Washington Nationals, reporting not just on the roster's star players, but also on the typically invisible supporting cast who each have their own sacrifices to make and schedules to keep.

These and many more players, scouts, equipment managers, and even travel schedulers create the fabric of Svrluga's intimate and unusual book. In The Grind, Barry Svrluga has given us an unforgettably raw, inside look at the wear and tear, the glory and impermanence, of America's pastime. Derived from a Kirkus review: A season in the trencheswell, on the diamond, anywaywith the Washington Nationals. "There is no other sport with an everydayness, a drum-drum-drum beat like baseball," writes Washington Post baseball reporter Svrluga. That's not the only time in this slender volume where he makes the same observation, but the repetition fits nicely with his theme, borne out by a title that comes from a player's observation that the work lies in getting up every day of the season and grinding it out: "Head down. Eyes forward. Don't think about the games that have passed or how many are ahead. Don't think about the city you're in or the state of your swing. Keep grindin'." One of the many virtues of this bookborn, as the author recounts, from a pitch to his Post editor to show the everydayness of the gameis its shifting focus from star players like Ryan Zimmerman to baseball wives and their legendary power to all the middlemen and go-betweens involved in the game to the fans who keep coming back game after game to see their heroes. Svrluga laces the narrative with bits of reportage and history, noting that in the early years of the pro game, the schedule was far less demanding, with players usually having more days off back to back than days onmuch different from the way things are today. Above all, the author's peppy narrative is about numbers: the 1,198 gam.
