Opis

Wild in the Strike Zone is Tim Peeler's third book of baseball-related poems. The topics featured range from well-known players like Mickey Mantle, Pedro Martinez, and Randy Johnson to the lesser known colorful heroes of the depression era outlaw Carolina League such as Sing-Sing Prison grad, Edwin "Alabama" Pitts and Canadian-born slugger, Vince Barton. Wild is also a celebration of Peeler's "baseball childhood," and an exploration of his relationship with his minister-coach father and a reflection on his love for baseball and its connection to the American experience.
