Title: Baseball in Hemingway s "The Three-Day Blow": The Way It Really Was in the Fall of 1916
Author/Creator: C. Harold Hurley
Publication Details: Hemingway Review, Vol.16(1), pp.43-55
Annotation: Close reading of the baseball references to determine the depth of Nick s depression over the loss of Marge. Hurley reconstructs the skewed historical timeline and the characters seemingly ancillary discussion to uncover baseball s dual purpose: first, to extend a significant socio-historical realism to the characters; and second, to serve as an emotive outlet for the main character, Nick Adams, distracting him from his recent break from Marge and enabling him to interpret his losses through a staunchly American/male lens.
