The Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture, 2007-2008 (Paperback)
This anthology gathers selected papers from the 2007 and 2008 meetings of the Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture, the long-running academic conference held annually at the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Essays included employ the national pastime to comment on issues transcending the playing field, and are divided into six sections: Cultural Perspectives on the Game, Literary Baseball, Baseball at the Movies, Minority Standard Bearers, New Leagues, and The Business of Baseball.
