Book Description
What I’m trying to do with this book is give coaches as much information as possible to be a complete coach. What drills to use, how to handle a pitching staff, how do I incorporate baserunning into practice and many things I slowly learned coaching baseball . This book was put together in the hopes of saving a lot of trial and error by youth and high school coaches who may have some questions in a few areas, and to give insight into what it takes for your child or players to get to the college level or beyond. This book explains in detail what I have learned over 25 years of coaching the greatest game ever invented. This book is for all levels 10-20 years old. It will explain what it takes to put together a solid practice plan, offensive and defensive drills and strategies, coaching all 9 positions with daily fundamentals and drills, baserunning, nutrition, and strength and conditioning outlines. How do I keep a practice interesting? How do I coach my catchers if I never played catcher? What do you do for outfielders at practice? How do I defend bunts and first and third situations? What do college coaches look for in my high school player? How do I coach pitchers?, and what is the best way to deal with parents? This book will answer questions that I wished I had known I started out coaching baseball.

Book Description
Around 1863, William “Candy” Cummings discovered he could make clamshells curve when thrown—a skill he transferred to baseball as a pitcher for the New York Excelsiors. In 1869, the Cincinnati Red Stockings became the first team in baseball to place all of their players on salary. And in 1945, the St. Louis Browns recruited a one-armed outfielder to the majors. These stories and much more are brought to life in Touching All the Bases: Baseball in 101 Fascinating Stories, an all-encompassing look at the game of baseball. Past to present, this book covers the sport in its entirety, from its defining moments on the field to the outside-the-ballpark influences that have shaped the game over the years. Unique chapters—such as the impact of World War II, legal issues, labor disputes, the legacy of Jackie Robinson, and the doping dilemma—complement accounts of milestone events, individual and team achievements, and the most famous games, plays, and players of the sport. Appendixes provide lists of World Series, batting and homerun champions, perfect games, player nicknames, award winners, and more. A comprehensive collection of baseball’s history, evolution, and memorable moments, Touching All the Bases will entertain, inform, and educate all those interested in baseball, whether a casual fan or a dedicated enthusiast.

Book Description
SOFT THINGS How many soft things are there left to enjoy? A kiss, a caress between a girl and boy. The coo of a baby while its mother smiles down. The sweet smell of rain as it covers the ground. The warmth of the sun as I look up to the sky. The beauty of nature that money cant buy. Its all so free and wont fade with time. My life is a joy when softness is mine.

Book Description
The catcher cradles a quick leather signal squatting on new spikes waiting for the curve to drop like a head into his basket. From odes to Josh Gibson and Curt Flood to poems about Denny McLain and the anonymous dancing usher at a minor league game, poet Tim Peeler celebrates the overlooked and the standout as he merges the topics of personal and baseball-related rediscovery. A bat is a lost artifact in Adirondack, while Writing Baseball Poems in Winter and Baseball Archaeologists deal explicitly with recovery. Several other poems underscore the continued significance of baseball memories, as the poet reconsiders events and people from his adolescence, offering the reader a candid look at his family, coaches and friends, as well as the players he watched, read about or merely imagined.
