Field of Fantasies: Baseball Stories of the Strange and Supernatural by Rick Wilber
Requirements: ePUB or AZW3 Reader, 2.6MB
Overview: A Fantastic Anthology Combining the Love of Science Fiction with Our National Pastime.
Of all the sports played across the globe, none has more curses, superstitions, or supernatural events like baseball, America’s National Pastime. While some of these can easily be explained, there are just as many that cannot.
Field of Fantasies delves right into that superstition with short stories written by several key authors about baseball and the supernatural. Whether it’s a frozen curveball, a robot pitcher, or fantasy outcomes (the Cubs winning the World Series!), these terrific stories are ones that fans of science fiction will enjoy while fans of baseball will find strangely believable.
Never has a book combined the incredible events of baseball and science fiction like the collection in Field of Fantasies does. Whether you’re a sport or science fiction fan, these stories will not only appeal to your fandom, but your appreciation and acceptance of the unknown taking place on the baseball diamond. If you’ve ever held a bat or glove in your hand (or just watched the game on TV), you’ll be enthralled by these terrific tales that range from the sandlot to the sold out stadium.
