Short Story Søndag: \ "The Last Pennant Inden Armageddon \" af WP Kinsella

Måneder senere, efter den cyklus af drømme begyndte deres natlige invasion af hans krop, mindede Al Tiller natten ærkeenglen havde ringet til en radiostation, og han indså, at der så, og ikke om aftenen den første drøm, var, da hans genvordigheder havde startede.
Åbning linje fra \ "The Last Pennant Inden Armageddon. \"

Al Tiller er ikke et dårligt hold manager. Gennem sin lange karriere i baseball han har forvaltet alle niveauer af spillere fra bush liga mindreårige til store tid fagfolk. Ved store tid professionelle mener jeg de Chicago Cubs, et hold er berygtet for at miste sæson efter sæson. Det er næppe Al Tiller's skyld, at han får sit job med Cubs år, før de endelig gjorde det til serien sluttede en 100 år titel tørke, den længste af alle hold i professionel baseball.

Når Cubs begynder at klare sig godt, når det ser ud som de kunne gøre det til playoffs, faktisk kunne vinde vimpel, Al begynder at drømme og til støder på ulige interviews om sent i nat sports radio call-in shows. Disse drømme og tegn Al føre til en foruroligende konklusion – hvis Cubs vinder vimpel, Armageddon vil ankomme. Lige da Al bør nyde, hvad der ligner et sikkert skud i World Series, han begynder at spekulere på, om han skulle begynde at kaste spil for at redde verden.

I 1984, WP Kinsella's samling af historier om baseball, The Thrill af Grass, når de første gang blev offentliggjort, var det nok en lækker gammel vittighed. Mange Cub fan, havde mange en Cub fjende sandsynligvis gjort netop sådan en bemærkning, efter en kort sejrsrække. Måske vil vinde vimpel i år. Sikker på, men hvis det sker, vil ikke verdens ende. Dag, Mr. Kinsella historier tilbyde en slags nostalgi, en vision om, hvad baseball bruges til at være ligesom, når professionelle sport stadig havde en form for uskyld om dem. Det er nemt at ligesom hans karakterer, at heppe på dem, selv når de er dømt til at mislykkes.

Der er noget om baseball, eller i det mindste om baseball historier, der ser tilbage på en enklere tid, før vi alle havde en tabt alder til at se virkeligheden i øjnene. Jeg formoder det er, på hjerte, en form for eskapisme. Hvis ja, bare tage mig ud til boldspil.
