In 2016, Evan Ungar from Canada set the highest vertical jump Guinness World Record at 63.5 inches. Will Tim surpass that milestone? If this week's results are any indicator, I would say yes, definitely. He need only add 35 and a quarter inches, which, to me, is child's play. If I wanted to set the vertical jump record I could also do it, but I have more pressing concerns to attend to. For example, watching Claire Saffitz make gourmet Tater Tots. I was also busy reading Robert Coover's 1968 novel The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop. It's lucky that I did that because on this episode of the podcast, we discuss the book in full, and even go so far as to discuss the themes of the book including:  The power of fiction/ the role of the author Postmodern metafiction Reflection on age/time passing The nature of God &amp; the development of religion obsession/addiction  Yep, another light-hearted romp through he world of the Tater Tot 🤠  Programming note: next week we will discuss the Tater Tots currently plying their trade in Korea. On the following episode, we will discuss Gish Jen's  new novel The Resisters.  Donate to Baseball For All  Our theme music is Littlest League Possible by Guided By Voices. Our artwork is by Shelby Criswell Twitch (Live on Thursdays at 7pm EST / 4pm PST): twitch.tv/tatertotspod Email: tatertotspod@gmail.com  Facebook: facebook.com/tatertotspod Twitter: twitter.com/tatertotspod

Episode #65 - The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop.

Robert Coover

Like a precocious fireballer at top of the prospect rankings … a kid who has shown so much promise and from whom so much is expected … who has three plus pitches and is working on a fourth … whose intangibles are as off the charts as his athleticism … who is putting it all together at AAA and knocking at the door … who will make men look like boys … and who ends up THE OPPOSITE OF ALL THOSE THINGS – that’s this book.  Download the mp3 file Subscribe in iTunes From recent débuts to classics, fiction to non-fiction, memoirs, philosophy, science, history and journalism, Burning Books separates the smoking from the singeworthy, looking at the pleasures (and pains) of reading, the craft of writing, the ideas that are at the heart of great novels as well as novels that try to be great, but don’t quite make it. https://litopia.com/shows/burn/
