Fathers Playing Catch with Sons: Essays on Sport (Mostly Baseball) | Donald Hall

2 posts | 1 read

In the pantheon of great sports literature, not a few poets have tried their hand at paying tribute to their love affair with the game -- Walt Whitman, Marianne Moore, and William Carlos Williams among them. This elegant volume collects Donald Hall�s prose about sports, concentrating on baseball but extending to basketball, football and Ping-Pong. The essays are a wonderful mixture of reminiscence and observation, of baseball and of fathers and sons, of how a game binds people together and bridges generations.

Fathers Playing Catch with Sons: Essays on Sport (Mostly Baseball) | Donald Hall

The epigraph to my third novel, PAST THE BLEACHERS, in honor of the talented, kind, and insightful #DonaldHall, who passed away today. #RIP, Donald. You were a gift to us all. This is from his beautiful essay, “Fathers Playing Catch with Sons.”

Fathers Playing Catch with Sons: Essays on Sport (Mostly Baseball) | Donald Hall

... baseball is continuous, like nothing else among American things, an endless game of repeated summers, joining the long generations of all fathers and all sons.
