Download or read book Major League Bride written by Kathleen Lockwood and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My day-to-day existence," writes Kathleen Lockwood, "rested on the ability of my husband to throw a tiny leather ball over ninety-five miles an hour past a large wooden bat." If that sounds like hyperbole, consider this: In the 12 years that followed their wedding in 1970, Kathleen and major leaguer Skip would move 35 times. The couple and their growing family endured three player strikes, a handful of trades and trade rumors, and the steady threat of a career-ending arm injury. Kathleen built lifelong friendships with other players' wives, managed their homes and cared for their children, and shared in the cycle of triumph and defeat that is life in the major leagues.

Download or read book Factors Affecting the Marriages of Professional Baseball Players written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional athletes as a population have long been studied as performance improvement subjects. The lives of professional athletes have also been scrutinized on a daily basis by the media. This study focused on the factors inherent in the professional baseball lifestyle and their effects on the marriages of six professional baseball players. Two significant areas in these players' lives became apparent: their identity as a professional baseball player and the relationship between their personal identity (as a husband, family member, and religious person) and the level of perceived intimacy in their marriage. Other factors that also appear to play a role in the quality of intimacy within these marriages include economics (salary, living conditions), player injury and severity of injury, and presence or absence of children. Research discussed in this study provides a foundation for other professionals to further investigate these results on a grander scale. Clinical, theoretical, and personal implications and limitations are discussed as well.

Download or read book The Family Swap written by Frank Foster and published by BookCaps Study Guides. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the New York Yankees' storied history of abundant individual greatness and unrivaled team success, the 1972 squad was a pale imitation of the teams that had made the Bronx Bombers the most famous sports franchise in the world. The team was ready for change, and it came on January 3, 1973, when 42-year-old Cleveland-based businessman George Steinbrenner announced that he and a group of investors had bought the Yankees from the Columbia Broadcasting System for $10 million. But as much as Steinbrenner’s acquisition of the team would alter the course of baseball history, it was overshadowed in spring training by the surprise announcement of a transaction involving the team's pitching rotation. On March 5, left-handers Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson, met with the press to announce the details of a trade they had finalized the previous October. This particular trade had been carried out without the knowledge or consent of general manager Lee MacPhail, and did not bring any new players to the team. Kekich and Peterson, friends and teammates since 1969, scandalized the sports world by announcing that each had moved out of his own home and taken up with the other’s wife and children. While the contents of this biography have been researched, this book is not endorsed or affiliated in any way with Mike Kekich or Fritz Peterson.

Some of baseball's greatest players appear in these personal photos and stories, along with a few of Hollywood's stars. Author Suzanne Molino Singleton describes a world of lifelong friendships, World Series rings, Cooperstown, a savored Memorial Stadium seat, unusual fan mail and even spit talk. The Singletons are truly ... married to baseball.
