Overview

Roger Angell meets Hanif Abdurraqib meets Bull Durham in this sharp new collection of baseball writing by Andrew Forbes

The doctor-in-training who became famous for his ability to strike out the best ballplayer of all time. The league-mandated sharpshooter who oversees every MLB game. The baseball players whose bodies are their equipment and whose activism continues to change the course of labour rights. Baseball is a sport, a pastime, an obsession, a dream--and for some, it's also a day job. Field Work shines a surprising light on the complex relationships between work and play and how we value labour. Equal parts investigation and beautiful digression, these essays celebrate the ways in which baseball shapes the way we move through the world.
