Innings

The author has played recreational baseball of one kind or another for almost sixty years. He has worn the uniforms of more than a dozen teams over that period—sometimes noticeably, sometimes competently, and a scant few times almost disgracefully. Included in this narrative is a history of his almost thirty years of playing for one of the founding teams of the National Capital Baseball League—one of the largest, if not the largest, recreational baseball league in the country. Innings is an account of the author’s participation in a game that for him, regardless of his skill in playing it, has almost been a vocation.
