Bill Littlefield, Host  
Bill wrote his first commentary for WBUR in 1984, and shortly thereafter, his work began airing on NPR's
"Morning Edition." A graduate of Yale University and the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Bill continues to teach one course each semester in the Humanities Division
at Curry College in Milton, Massachusetts, where he began as an instructor in 1976. He also serves as writer-in-residence at Curry, and has brought to the campus such worthies as Frank Deford, Eliot Asinof, Bud Collins, Elissa Ely, and Leigh Montville.  
 
Bill's most recent novel is The Circus in the Woods (2002) from Houghton Mifflin.
His other books include the novel Prospect (Houghton Mifflin, 1989; paperback,
2000), Baseball Days (Houghton, Mifflin 1993; paperback Pond Press, 2000),
Champions: The Stories of Ten Remarkable Athletes (Little, Brown 1993, paperback
1999), and Keepers: Radio Stories from "Only A Game" and Elsewhere, (Peninsula
Press, 1999). He was guest editor for Houghton Mifflin's Best American Sports
Writing in 1998, and the fall of 2003 will bring Fall Classics (Crown Press), a  
collection of the best writing about the World Series over the past one hundred
years, which Bill edited with Richard Johnson.  
 
As an assistant coach with the soccer and basketball teams for which his daughters
have played, Bill hopes that he's done more good than harm. He discourages  
research into the matter.
