Stories from the National Public Radio archives honor America's national pastime.< Stories so compelling you'll stay in your car to hear them through-even if you're sitting in your own driveway. Peabody-winning Talk of the Nation host Neal Conan presents tales about the big leagues and the little, the fans in the stands, the players, the history, and the lore. Highlights include commentaries from some of the game's most recognized authorities, a look back at some of baseball's most important figures (Jackie Robinson, Joltin' Joe DiMaggio), and colorful segments about the game's unexpected delights, from the Hidden Ball Trick to the "All You Can Eat" option at Dodger Stadium.

      Baseball fans will enjoy this collection of recent NPR stories about America's pastime. The set includes interviews with such players as Ted Williams, Roberto Clemente, Yogi Berra, and Jackie Robinson, as well as pieces on a wide range of topics, including Negro baseball, corporate influence on the game, baseball statistics, steroids, and other forms of cheating. They're presented by some of NPR's best reporters--Scott Simon, Melissa Block, Bob Edwards, Robert Siegel, and Frank Deford, among others. Are they all so gripping that we wouldn't be able to leave the car mid-story? Who knows? One person's driveway moment may be another's "ho-hum." But they're all listenable, and many are a real pleasure. R.E.K. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
