Baseball Magic is a short fiction collection of eleven original baseball stories by Jay Martin.
Believing baseball to be an almost sacred event, author Jay Martin explores the game with a reverence for history, humor, wonder, joy, and occasionally with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
Grab a beer and a hot dog with mustard and onions. Settle into your favorite armchair and open these pages for a provocative, entertaining read.

| Text Of Review: Martin’s stories, like baseball itself, are by turns delicate and brutal, explosive and deliberate, refined and simple, familiar and surprising. This collection needs no steroids or human growth hormones; it is the real thing: illuminating fiction about America’s oldest and best game.
