With Big Mac and Junior closing in on the 37-year-old home-run record, baseball has hit itself out of a jam. Just four years ago, baseball was on strike, without a commissioner, canceling a World Series and generally running a brilliant anti-p.r. campaign for a sport that already was too long and too slow.

Farrar, Straus published the same material as books, and the oddity was that in the magazine, attenuated among the Jag and Audi ads, these journeyings seemed dark, intriguing and geologically long, but in book form the same field reports were sunlit, brilliant and short...
