American Diamond: Baseball, Pop Culture, and our National Myths by James Finn Garner

Baseball is the National Pastime-on the field and in entertainment. No other sport has inspired so much literature, poetry, film, music, and performance. In this rollicking, humorous presentation, Garner explores the historic and literary reasons driving this phenomenon and how the Internet continues the tradition today.

James Finn Garner has been moderating the baseball doggerel site BARDBALL.COM for 19 seasons. He is also the New York Times best-selling author of Politically Correct Bedtime Stories and its sequels, as well as 7 other books.
