    [synopsis] => In this collection of seven original baseball short stories written by an all-star lineup of writers-             each of whom understands the game's lore and tactical nuances, as well as its deep roots in American life-             mystery and murder take the mound. Compiled by Otto Penzler-             the proprietor of The Mysterious Bookshop and regarded as the world's foremost authority on crime, mystery, and suspense fiction-             the stories in this anthology include:
