praise
“Meissner, an award-winning fiction writer, has a feel for both baseball’s appeal and the people to whom it appeals. There’s a little kid in every baseball fan, and that little fella (or gal) can appear at the most unlikely times and in the most unexpected places. Meissner’s stories showcase a few of those times and places, some in routine occurrences, others lurking between the cracks of everyday reality. Perhaps the highlight is the story about a father and son who decide to unwind an old baseball found at the edge of a field. What if there's nothing inside? A lovely book.” —Booklist
