Saturday-Night Special
Because of Eddie Barno, I started wrestling. I saw him wrestle at a high school match my dad had wanted to see; he went to all the matches. Dad was State-Champ when he wrestled in the '70s, two years in a row—but my grandmother had thrown out all the trophies,…

The Purest Form of Play
“Place begins with embodiment. Body is a place, and it shapes our perceptions.” — Malcolm McCullough I grew up with a view of the ocean. When I was little my father used to take me out in the evenings, past the breakers, into deeper water; it was quiet and soothing.…

Playing By the Book
By S. Chris Shirley
Team Sports
I sit in the stands watching buckets overflow with rainwater from the cracked ceiling. My two brothers glide along the plastic tiles in the rink, my middle brother stopping at his goal to squirt water through the cage in his goalie mask. He is too young for the adult league,…

The Phillies, Dick Allen, and Me
It was the morning of September 7, 1964, and I was sick with excitement about attending my first Phillies games: a Labor Day doubleheader against the Dodgers. This doubleheader took place two weeks before the ten-game losing streak that would cost the Phils the pennant. Sometimes I think their monumental…
Ruth A. Rouff

After working at various unfulfilling jobs, I earned a MS in Education from Saint Joseph's University and taught for five years in the Philadelphia Public Schools. For the past five years, I've worked as a freelance educational…
Blood Sport
I came to fishing late in life—not necessarily by choice, but by circumstance. I was always interested, but there was no one around to show me how to do it. My dad never got excited about taking his daughters fishing, which was part of the problem. Back in the day,…

The Knee
Eliot Sampson turned forty-four that summer and joined a city soccer league, but when he asked Danielle if she might come to his games, she told him she had better things to do than watch him run around with Mexican and Brazilian boys half his age. She worked full-time like…
Bob Johnson
Bob Johnson holds an MFA from the Iowa Writers Workshop. He took a disgraceful, extended break from writing short stories to follow several career paths, the most notable of which were an English professorship at Goshen College in Goshen, Indiana, and Operations Manager at WSBT-TV in South Bend. He came…

The Wheelers: A Roller Derby Meditation
In those first few days of practice, you line up, rickety. Knocking wheels, it sounds much sexier than it is—it will take weeks before you can tolerate that tripping feeling, like stepping on your own shoelace, without panic. In general, your body wants to be more in control than it…

Cup Stories
I'm a girl. I've never worn a cup, bought a cup, or thought about cups. Before my son became a little leaguer, thoughts of athletic cups had never entered my brain. I never thought about where to buy a cup, or how to buy the right size cup. I didn't…
Eve Bradshaw
On Twitter (@EPeevie) I describe myself as a “writer trying to find her place and purpose in the world.” You would think that at age 53, I would have already figured those things out—but they are moving targets. I've aimed for a career as a writer since I wrote a…
The Fountain of Youth
Ponce De Leon was about 600 years too soon when he came to Florida looking for the fountain of youth. Just ask Raymond Fisher. Not that Raymond would answer. But we'll get to that. As for Ponce, well, he was doomed in his quest, because back in 1513, they didn't…
Michael Murphey
I grew up in Eastern New Mexico, and spent nearly thirty years as a newspaper journalist in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest, covering just about everything but sports. I wrote about subjects ranging from outlaw motorcycle gangs to the failed nuclear power industry in the Northwest to labor disputes to…
Best
2002 was the worst year for love in the history of sports. People carried their sadness around in wheelbarrows. They painted it on their faces with zinc and mascara. They wrote D-E-S-P-A-I-R on the fat stomachs of photocopier salesmen in oxblood and ram's blood and royal blue paint. Their tears…
Jason Norman
Jason Lee Norman was born and raised in the Edmonton area. With a degree in English from the University of Alberta and a Masters in Creative Writing from the University of Manchester, he returned to Edmonton in 2009 to make his fortune. He is the author of two short story…
Sneaky Fast
It was outside Lord's Hill, coming east on 84 on the way to Port Jervis, when the right front tire blew. Rudy managed to muscle the Camaro into the breakdown lane, spraying slush onto the hood. As he got it under control, the car shook, shuddered and conked out. The…

The Gift of Nothing
I am searching online forums for techniques on how to work out better—how to become a machine—when I stumble across the quote, “That which you work against will always work against you.” When I look it up I find it's from “Iron”, an essay about weightlifting published in Details magazine…
Chris Wiewiora

Proper Equipment
Someone wrote—possibly John Updike—that only optimists persist at golf. They always believe they will play better next time. Diehard duffers don't dwell on lost balls, penalty strokes, and the difficulty of mastering this sport. The lure of a vast verdant park, undulating with velvet curves, and designed just for this…
Susan Ryan
Following an undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan, I enjoyed a thirty-year career in medical sales, the last twenty-five years selling heart valves. In the corporate world, with little time for writing anything other than riveting business letters, I imagined a literary life. A few years ago I retired…

Death of a Cubs Fan
There is a cardboard box at my feet crammed with my inheritance. At the bottom are the immigration papers, the first ones from Canada and the last ones from New York. Then the first-edition Zane Greys. Then one of my mother's old jewelry boxes stuffed with my father's little tokens,…
