Paperback. Condizione: Good. 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 essa…ys 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 "Transcendent prose."--Shelf Awareness.
