Synopsis

FAN INTERFERENCE: A COLLECTION OF BASEBALL RANTS AND REFLECTIONS (Blue Cubicle Press, 2013) is an anthology of the best musings culled from over 15 years of the critically acclaimed Zisk zine -- the so-called Baseball Magazine For People Who Hate Baseball Magazines. Edited by Mike Faloon (Go Metric, Egghead.) and Steve Reynolds (Trouser Press, Party Like It s 1999) and featuring contributions from academics to punk rockers, comedians to fans with an ax to grind, FAN INTERFERENCE examines the intersection of baseball, lifestyle and music -- all colored with bit of nostalgia, a great deal of humor and, often, a tongue planted firmly in cheek.

About this title

Review:

Baseball is the most important thing in the world. It's also completely meaningless in the grand scheme of life. These guys recognize that those two philosophies can co-exist in the human brain, which makes their writing a truly electric, and all too rare, jolt to the synapses. --Variety

Zisk is a zine for those who love baseball for its charm, history and eccentricities and not merely as something to play a fantasy league around. It's for the true fans who populate the upper deck, not the party animals in the bleachers. --Chicago Tribune

Even though I don't like baseball, this well written baseball zine was strangely appealing. If you thought trekkies were fanatical, try baseball nerds on for size. --Quimby's Bookstore
