Know about the book -

Go the Distance is written by W. P. Kinsella and published by Dallas : Southern Methodist University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0870743880 (ISBN 10) and 9780870743887 (ISBN 13).

As in Shoeless Joe and his other baseball fiction, Kinsella uses the sport not as subject but as context in these ten stories, which range from the realistic to the fantastic. Here a legendary base stealer for St. Louis Browns tries to perpetuate his skills, an extraterrestrial pretends to be the Seattle Mariners mascot, and three middle-aged baseball buddies play a nostalgic pickup game in the women's wear section of K-mart. The collection was first published in 1988 as The Further Adventures of Slugger McBatt.
