Short (baseball) stories from Symphony Space, Part 2

The second production of short baseball fiction from Symphony Space, which originally aired Oct. 12, 2007 by Public Radio International, featured:

Various authors, Baseball Haiku, read by Alec Baldwin and Isaiah Sheffer (from Baseball Haiku: The Best Haiku Ever Written About the Game, W.W. Norton). Frankly, I couldn’t always catch the 17 syllables that make up a “formal” haiku. Poetry is an acquired taste, anyway.
T.C. Boyle, “The Hector Quesadilla Story,” read by Jerry Zaks (from T.C. Boyle: Stories Viking). Well read, but a bit rushed at the end.
Lawrence S. Ritter, “The Glory of Their Times” excerpt, read by Jonathan Rubinstein (from: The Glory of Their Times : The Story of Baseball Told By the Men Who Played It, Harper). It would have been nice if they identified which player was the subject of this particular excerpt.
Rolphe Humphries, “Polo Grounds,” read by Fritz Weaver (from: Baseball: A Literary Anthology, edited by Nicholas Dawidoff, The Library of America). See previous entry.
