Book Description
TY COBB. CHRISTY MATHEWSON. SHOELESS JOE JACKSON. BABE RUTH. LOU GEHRIG. JACKIE ROBINSON. JOE DIMAGGIO. MICKEY MANTLE. WILLIE MAYS. DUKE SNIDER. TED WILLIAMS. CURT FLOOD. ROBERTO CLEMENTE. HANK AARON. Their names echo through the halls of time and the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Their feats are legendary. They never quit, and they never backed down. They inspired generations of Americans to push themselves to do their very best. They were, and remain, the heroes of baseball. Hitting monster home runs, pitching perfect games, making impossible catches, and stealing home during the World Series -- these are the kinds of feats that turn baseball players into baseball superstars. But it takes more than great feats to become a hero of the game. Every generation needs its own heroes, and in each generation that need is answered differently. Heroes reflect the times and societies in which they live and work. The impact made by baseball's heroes affects the way our society perceives itself, as well as the goals we set for ourselves and for our nation. Award-winning sportswriter Robert Lipsyte presents his vision for who the heroes of the game are, and what they did to achieve their legendary status.

Book Description
Unlikely Champions: A Miracle in Williamsport celebrates the 25th anniversary of the most stunning upset in the history of the Little League World Series, following the players, now successful adults, leaders, and family men, as they tell their inspirational stories and relate the life lessons they learned.Trumbull National Little League's unlikely 5-2 victory over Taiwan in the 1989 Little League World Series evokes memories of a Little League miracle. Fifteen ordinary 12-year-old boys accomplished something extraordinary, winning the hearts of sports fans across America in the process, stunning the mighty Taiwanese. As the Trumbull kids celebrated on the field, the American-flag-waving crowd of 40,000 chanted in earnest – “USA! USA!” No one gave these Little Leaguers from a small town in Connecticut a chance to win. If your Little League son or daughter aspires to play on Williamsport's Little League Field of Dreams for a world championship, then you must read what these Unlikely Champions have to say to your ballplayer achieving those dreams.We pass along the legacy of the game of baseball by telling stories, from fathers to sons and daughters, grandfathers to grandsons and granddaughters, one generation of fans to the next. It's why every game broadcast features a play-by-play announcer for the action and a “color commentator,” to explain the game and share stories about it. The late A. Bartlett Giamatti often claimed that “Baseball stories were at the heart of the appeal of our game. The history of baseball is an oral one.” This is an American baseball story, finally…and finely told. Foreword by Chris Berman

Book Description
The 1964 Little League World Series was unique and memorable. The final game was won on a no-hitter spun by a pitcher on an All-Star team from the middle of Staten Island, the "forgotten borough" that appeared to have more in common with the American heartland than the rest of New York City. Not only had a Big Apple team never before even qualified for the World Series, but it was the first time a U.S. team defeated an international one for the championship. The members of the victorious Mid-Island Little League team were treated to a ticker-tape parade in lower Manhattan and a reception by the mayor as well as meetings with celebrities and baseball icons. When the Forgotten Borough Reigned takes the reader back to 1964, a transformational year for America in which baseball still firmly held its position as the treasured national pastime. Months before the opening of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, which quickly led to a tidal wave of change throughout Staten Island, there was a magical summer during which fourteen boys, none older than twelve, experienced a degree of fame few adults ever do while uniting the borough and city in frenzied celebration.

Book Description
The modern day youth sports environment has taken the enjoyment out of athletics for our children. Currently, 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by the age of 13, which has given rise to a generation of overweight, unhealthy young adults. There is a solution. John O’Sullivan shares the secrets of the coaches and parents who have not only raised elite athletes, but have done so by creating an environment that promotes positive core values and teaches life lessons instead of focusing on wins and losses, scholarships, and professional aspirations. Changing the Game gives adults a new paradigm and a game plan for raising happy, high performing children, and provides a national call to action to return youth sports to our kids.
