1995 ELYSIAN FIELDS QUARTERLY JOURNAL - DONNIE MOORE & RACISM IN BASEBALL

Description: Cover features Donnie Moore illustration by EFQ artist Andy Nelson. Highlights: One of our finest issues, primarily due to John Poff's powerful cover story entitled "Donnie Moore: A Racial Memoir," which is arguably the best writing we've ever published, and to editor Steve Lehman's moving tribute about a close friend dying of cancer but still able to cling to the beauty of baseball. Poff, who played several years in the minors and briefly with the Phillies and Brewers, offers a candid, razor sharp portrayal of the cultural phenomenon of racism (albeit often subtle) among white athletes, the continued institutionalized racism practiced at the organizational level of baseball (with few black managers, coaches, and executives), and his own battle to face the inherent prejudice and fear that white ballplayers feel towards a successful teammate of color not in the mold of a likeable (to whites) Michael Jordan or Ken Griffey Jr. This issue also includes engaging fiction by Andrew Muldoon ("Run Trey" about a minor leaguer who wants to own the basepaths) and Josh Russell ("The World's Foremost Fungo Hitter..."); John Rossi's excellent historical piece on the collapse of the 1964 Phillies; Bill McGill's reflection on memories of Wrigley Field and John Shanley's poignant reminiscence of what he lost with the destruction of Forbes Field; Bob Harrison's conversation with poet Gene Fehler; and poetry by Penelope Scambly Schott, John Ventola, and others. "Baseball by the Books" includes a look at books on the art of pitching, and reviews of Lords of the Realm, Never Just a Game, Ebbets Field to Ellis Island, All My Octobers, and Baseball's Golden Age: The Photographs of Charles M. Conlon. Volume 14, Number 1. Length: 112 pages. Note: From 1992 through 2008, Elysian Fields Quarterly was the pre-eminent journal of baseball literature and culture--a beautiful 6x9 perfect-bound publication packed with articles, essays, poetry, fiction, book reviews, humor, fantasy lineups, quirky illustrations, and a great deal more. Like its predecessor, The Minneapolis Review of Baseball, EFQ featured contributors ranging from accomplished academics to first-time writers, and forged a special niche among readers that wasn't dependent on mainstream sportswriters or pundits to give it credibility. Although the publication went on hiatus in 2008, perhaps a comeback might still be around the corner. Issue is in new condition, leftover from unsold original inventory.
