When Laney shows up to investigate with her teenage niece in tow, she discovers that her ex, Kit, has also been informed and is there with Jayla, his sister and her former best friend. Then Sadie, another old high school friend, charters over with her brother, who’s now a cop. There are tensions and secrets, whispers in the woods and, before long, the discovery of a hand poking up from the earth. Then the body that goes with it. But by that time, someone has taken off with their one and only means off the island.

Posnanski’s previous book, THE BASEBALL 100, portrayed the heroes and pioneers of the sport, and now, with his trademark wit, encyclopedic knowledge and acute observations, he gets at the real heart of the game. From 19th-century pitchers’ duels to breaking the sport’s color line in the ’40s, all the way to the greatest trick play of the last decade and the slide home that became a meme, Posnanski’s illuminating take allows us to rediscover the sport we love --- and thought we knew.
 
WHY WE LOVE BASEBALL is an epic that ends too soon, a one-of-a-kind love letter to the sport that has us thrilled, torn, inspired and always wanting more.
