Elysian Fields Quarterly

Elysian Fields Quarterly

Elysian Fields Quarterly (EFQ) is a literary baseball journal of "writing on baseball from the fan's perspective", published in St. Paul MN. It features articles on baseball history and lore.

EFQ was founded as The Minneapolis Review of Baseball, by Ken LaZebnik and Steve Lehman. It began publication under its current title in 1992. EFQ was published briefly in 1992-1993 by William C. Brown Company of Dubuque, Iowa, but devolved to its original 'self-published' status after William C. Brown eliminated its baseball division. EFQ ceased to exist in 1995 due to financial difficulties, but was resurrected by Lehman and another contributor in 1998, at the urging of its current publisher, Tom Goldstein. Since 1999, EFQ has annually recognized baseball's "most important book" by bestowing the Dave Moore Award.

EFQ has had favorable reviews by the Utne Reader as well as NPR.
