About The Book
Timothy Morris examines the cultural implications of baseball novels,
focusing on four themes — assimilation, heterosexuality, language, and
meritocracy — from among many possibilities “because they are particularly
problematic issues for America and Americanists in the mid-1990s.”
While Making the Team deals with canonical works such as The
Natural and Bang the Drum Slowly, it devotes equal attention
to juvenile novels by John Tunis (The Kid from Tomkinsville,Young
Razzle) and others. Throughout, Morris considers how the ideals of
manliness, courage, competitiveness, athleticism, whiteness, and standard
English — of “Americanness” in its many facets — have been embodied
in fictional characters for readers of different ages and in different
eras.
Morris concludes with a chapter that asks, “What does it mean to
be ‘literary’?” What distinguishes “high art” from a baseball
novel, or a mystery, or a romance novel, or pornography? Making the
Team suggests that drawing the line may be a more vital concern — not
just for scholars, but for Americans at large — than anything critics have
argued about for a very long time.
