Timothy Morris examines the cultural implications of baseball novels, focusing on the themes of assimilation, heterosexuality, language, and meritocracy, because they pose particularly problematic issues for America.Morris explores canonical works like The Natural and Bang the Drum Slowly but devotes equal attention to juvenile novels by John Tunis and other authors. Throughout, Morris considers how fictional characters have embodied the ideals of manliness, courage, competitiveness, athleticism, whiteness, and standard Englishof "Americanness" in its many facetsfor readers of different ages and in different eras. He also considers what distinguishes "high art" from a baseball novel or other genre story. As his analysis shows, drawing the line may be of vital concern for scholars and Americans at large.
