Download or read book Charlie Finley written by Roger D. Launius and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-07-11 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the "Bronx Zoo" of George Steinbrenner and Billy Martin, there were the Oakland Athletics of the early 1970s, one of the most successful, most colorful-and most chaotic-baseball teams of all time. They were all of those things because of Charlie Finley. Not only the A's owner, he was also the general manager, personally assembling his team, deciding his players' salaries, and making player moves during the season-a level of involvement no other owner, not even Steinbrenner, engaged in. Drawing on interviews with dozens of Finley's players, family members, and colleagues, G. Michael Green and Roger D. Launius present "Baseball's Super Showman" (Time magazine's description of Finley on the cover of an August 1975 issue) in all his contradictions: generous yet vengeful, inventive yet destructive. The stories surrounding him are as colorful as the life he led, the chronicle of which fills an important gap in baseball's literature.

Book excerpt: A retired baseball player finds himself fighting for his life in this “fantastically hopped-up thriller [with] a wrong-man plot worthy of Hitchcock” (Entertainment Weekly, Editor’s Choice). “Wow! Brutal, visceral, violent, edgy, and brilliant.”—Harlan Coben In development as a major motion picture starring Austin Butler and directed by Darren Aronofsky Henry “call me Hank” Thompson used to play California baseball. Now he tends to a bar on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. When two Russians in tracksuits beat Hank to a pulp, he gets the clue: someone wants something from him. He just doesn’t know what it is, where it is, or how to make them understand he doesn’t have it. Within twenty-for hours, Hank is running over rooftops, playing hide-and-seek with the NYPD, riding the subway with a dead man at his side, and counting a whole lot of cash on a concrete floor. All because of some Russian hoods and a flat-out freakshow of goons. All because once, in another life, the only thing Hank wanted to steal was third base—without getting caught.

Download or read book The Amazing Adventures of Perch the Cat written by Anthony Kessel and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Amazing Adventures of Perch the Cat follows the life and adventures of an extraordinary ginger cat. The book starts with the purchase of Perch from a north London pet shop by her owner, former England cricket captain Charles ‘Charlie’ Needle. Perch sadly knows nothing about her background but gradually she settles into her new home and begins her journey of self-discovery, aided by feline and canine friends: the adventurous Snapper, intelligent Greystoke, scatty Bells, a wise old labrador called Alfred, and a gentle poodle named Polly.Although The Amazing Adventures of Perch the Cat is set in north London, the adventures – which blend fantasy, action and pathos – take place around the country, overseas and elsewhere in the imagination. The first story involves a nasty encounter with a hungry fox, keen to devour the fish in the garden of Perch’s new home. In the second tale, Perch and her friends travel back to the medieval time of King Arthur and battle a rhyming dragon. A broken leg takes Perch to hospital in the next, with some unexpected philosophical reflections on the meaning of a cat’s life. ‘The Curse of Crazybones’ is the scariest adventure, with Perch trying to save the soul of a Victorian ghost cat, wrongly hanged for a crime he didn’t commit. A mountain climbing holiday in Morocco follows and, in the final story, Perch finds herself behind bars in a prison for animals and needing to find a way to escape …The Amazing Adventures of Perch the Cat is a charming children’s story that will be enjoyed by 4-8 year olds being read to or 8-11 year old children reading alone. Promoting values of friendship and justice, Perch is inspired by stories that Anthony has told over a number of years to his daughter, Leone, who has provided the illustrations. Anthony is inspired by a number of children’s authors, including Roald Dahl and Michael Morpugo.

Download or read book The Baseball Codes written by Jason Turbow and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-03-22 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insider’s look at baseball’s unwritten rules, explained with examples from the game’s most fascinating characters and wildest historical moments. Everyone knows that baseball is a game of intricate regulations, but it turns out to be even more complicated than we realize. All aspects of baseball—hitting, pitching, and baserunning—are affected by the Code, a set of unwritten rules that governs the Major League game. Some of these rules are openly discussed (don’t steal a base with a big lead late in the game), while others are known only to a minority of players (don’t cross between the catcher and the pitcher on the way to the batter’s box). In The Baseball Codes, old-timers and all-time greats share their insights into the game’s most hallowed—and least known—traditions. For the learned and the casual baseball fan alike, the result is illuminating and thoroughly entertaining. At the heart of this book are incredible and often hilarious stories involving national heroes (like Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays) and notorious headhunters (like Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale) in a century-long series of confrontations over respect, honor, and the soul of the game. With The Baseball Codes, we see for the first time the game as it’s actually played, through the eyes of the players on the field. With rollicking stories from the past and new perspectives on baseball’s informal rulebook, The Baseball Codes is a must for every fan.
