Description: Elysian Fields Quarterly The Baseball Fan's Magazine Vol. 14 #3 Winter 1995 - Featuring Hall of Famer Chief Bender on the cover- 96 pages (with a number of black & white photos and illustrations) - EXCELLENT condition. Elysian Fields Quarterly (The Baseball Review) was originally founded as The Minneapolis Review of Baseball in 1981 by Ken LaZebnik and Steve Lehman. It began publication under its current title in 1992. Elysian Fields Quarterly was published briefly in 1992–1993 by William C. Brown Company of Dubuque, Iowa. Elysian Fields Quarterly ceased publication in 1995 due to financial difficulties, but was resurrected by Lehman and another contributor in 1998, at the urging publisher, Tom Goldstein and was published contuinuously until 2007. This outstanding magazine was an excellent resource for the history and literature of baseball. In this issue are approximately 20 stories and other features including Steve Lehman's essay on "Reluctant Spring" training; Chris Christensen on the importance of not having interleague play; fan essays by Jack LaZebnik and Tom Olkowski; Todd Fuller's five-page poetic tribute "Mound"; Ray Pace's hilarious Hawaiian pidgin version of Casey at the Bat; fine illustrations (of Oh, Ruth, Spahn, DiMaggio, Gibson, and Clemente) and aphorisms from Go (author of The Tao of Baseball); Peter Bjarkman on the "Nature and Appeal of Baseball's Literature"; Larry Blakely's reminiscence of his surprise little league homerun; and Paris Mentis' fictional piece on a young ballplayer trying to catch a scout's eye; poems by Dan Rourke (the wonderful "Catch Me," about a foul ball looking for the right home) and Pete Gunn (on Earl Torgeson, Vada Pinson, and Joe Jackson), and book reviews of You Gotta Have Wa and Hitting into The Wind and much, much more. There is some edge wear, most notably on the right edge on the cover near the title (see the scan), but this magazine is still in EXCELLENT condition.
