- Detailed study of the factual events of the 1950 baseball season, relating the public pennant race to Santiago s private and heroic struggle with the marlin and sharks. Hurley writes: Against the games of baseball s September Stretch Santiago s ordeal at sea achieves temporal and thematic synchronism with the larger order of a sport whose contests seem to many a paradigm of the human condition.
