Lost Highway $7.49 Given the chart success of their Grammy-winning country single “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” it’s no surprise Bon Jovi upped the ante by recording an entire album paying homage to Nashville. In some ways, it’s amazing they didn’t do this sooner, given the way Keith Urban in particular is blurring country-pop lines, much as Garth Brooks and others did in the 1990s. To their credit, you won’t find p… |

Mantle – The Definitive Story of Mickey Mantle $9.48 “Babe Ruth did it on hot dogs and beer,” read a sign in the bleachers taunting Barry Bonds as he renewed his allegedly tainted pursuit of the Babe’s (and then Henry Aaron’s) home run record in 2006. And the Mick? Well, as detailed in Mantle – The Definitive Story of Mickey Mantle, this New York Yankee immortal’s rise to fame and glory was fueled by sheer talent; the drinking and carousing that wer… |

A Bitter Cup of Coffee: How MLB and the Players’ Association Threw 874 Retirees a Curve $18 This painstakingly researched book by Douglas J. Gladstone examines the plight of 874 Major League Baseball players who played between 1947 and 1979, all with brief trials in the majors, careers figuratively “just long enough to drink a cup of coffee.” Since 1980, Major League Baseball players have needed one day of service credit for health benefits and 43 days of service credit to be eligible for a retirement allowance, but those former ballplayers who played during the 1947-1979 seasons were not included retroactively in the amended vesting requirement, and so receive no pensions for the time they gave to our national pastime. These men, the author suggests, have gulped bitter cups of coffee.In his careful examination of this issue, which includes many interviews with former players and some poignant stories of their plight, Gladstone asks his readers to examine our national relationship to sports and its heroes, as well as our relationships with those who precede us in the game of life.A lifelong baseball fan, DOUGLAS J. GLADSTONE is a journalist by training, whose published articles have appeared in the Chicago Sun Times, Baseball Digest and the San Diego Jewish World, among others. This is his first book. |

Before the Glory: 20 Baseball Heroes Talk About Growing Up and How to Turn Hard Times Into Home Runs $16.95 More than any other sport, baseball has been identified with America—its values, dreams, lessons, and losses. Most of all, baseball is connected to the American childhood. In Before the Glory, the game’s living legends, maverick players, and stars of today tell the stories of their childhood and coming of age with the innocence and candor of youth. From Bill Mazeroski growing up in a shack without heating or electricity, to Ron LeFlore becoming addicted to drugs at the age of twelve, to David Wright winning a food-fight in the school cafeteria, Before the Glory is not simply baseball, it is life. It is poverty, segregation, innovation, integration, survival, war, peace, love, hate, villains, and heroes—all as seen through the eyes of everyday children who happened to have the desire and ability to rise to the top of America’s greatest sport. Hall of Famers, retired MLB players, and current stars, including David Wright, Justin Morneau, and Brian Roberts agreed to be interviewed especially for this book and share, in their own words, their perspectives on the challenges of childhood, family life, and reaching goals. This book is an inspiration to young and older fans alike. Foreword by Brooks Robinson. Includes an 8-page color insert. |

Chicago Bulls Owners: Jerry Reinsdorf $9.34 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Jerry M. Reinsdorf (born February 25, 1936) is a C.P.A., lawyer and an owner of the MLB’s Chicago White Sox and the NBA’s Chicago Bulls. He started his professional life as a tax attorney with the Internal Revenue Service. He has been the head of the White Sox and Bulls for over 20 years, with a reputation for frugality. He made his initial fortune in real estate, taking advantage of the Frank Lyon Co. v. United States decision by the United States Supreme Court which allowed economic owners of realty to sell property and lease it back, while transferring the tax deduction for depreciation to the title owner. As the owner and Chairman of the Chicago Bulls since 1985, he has turned the franchise into a lucrative business that won six NBA Championships in the 1990s (19911993 and 19961998). He is controversial for his involvement (along with Jerry Krause) in breaking up the championship team by not hiring back key personnel such as Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan. He hired Jordan as a baseball player during his sabbatical from basketball. He also moved the Bulls from Chicago Stadium to the United Center. As a baseball owner since 1981, he has brought success to the White Sox franchise. The franchise made the playoffs in 1983 for the first time since 1959 and won the World Series in 2005 for the first time since 1917. He moved the White Sox from Comiskey Park to New Comiskey Park and then renaming the new park U.S. Cellular Field. In both sporting endeavors, he has developed a reputation as an anti-labor union hardliner. Since the early 1990s, he has been considered one of the most, if not the most, influential baseball owners. He has been influential in instituting the salary cap and revenue sharing. He has also shaped the modern era of basebal… More: |
