Summary

I'm not your average baseball-loving professor. Unlike the sweater-wearing talking heads who wax poetical in front of Ken Burns's cameras, I'm going to be playing ball in New York City this summer, probably on five softball teams. Even at this age, I am still trying to prove myself. My ball-playing career has been checkered at best. I had a great season as a nine-year-old. I was the team's top hitter, threw a no-hitter, and played shortstop or catcher when I wasn't pitching.

Author Biography

Edwin Amenta is professor in the Department of Sociology at New York University and at the University of California, Irvine.  In 2005, he posted a .535 on-base percentage in the Performing Arts Softball League, while flashing some serious leather at second base.
