4.0

Baseball short stories, often read while waiting for my partner to show up to umpire baseball games. Some good stuff in here; did not disappoint. "Distances" and "K-mart" are probably my favorites; "The Eddie Scissons Syndrome" is a bit weak.

The author is Canadian and known for the novel Shoeless Joe, adapted into Costner's Field of Dreams. I plan to tackle one of his non-baseball books or collections next.
