Download or read book Comeback Season written by Cam Perron and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007, at the age of twelve, Perron bought a set of Topps baseball cards featuring several players from the Negro Leagues. He started writing letters to former Negro League players asking for their autographs and a few words about their careers. The players responded with detailed stories about their glory days on the field, and the racism they faced, including run-ins with the KKK. The letters turned into phone calls, and in these conversations many of the players revealed that they had fallen out of touch with their former teammates. Perron and a small group of fellow researchers organized the first annual Negro League Players Reunion in Birmingham, Alabama in 2010. This is the story of his mission to help many players get pension money that they were owed from Major League Baseball-- and to get a Negro League museum opened in Birmingham, stocked with memorabilia. -- adapted from jacket

Since his days as a young Washington Post journalist, Feinstein has written twenty-eight books and countless magazine articles and newspaper columns, covering college basketball, golf, tennis, baseball, and very nearly every sport in between.

Download or read book Diamond Jubilee at Riverside written by Garland Ladd and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-05-15 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A southern Protestant church is rudely thrust into a traumatic upheaval by an audacious crime perpetrated on the entire congregation. Resolution of this crime required ingenuity, courage and trust - - traits that only a cadre of its members possessed - - and that pocket of faithful resistance rose to defend against evil forces. Thankfully, pockets of courage still exist in the real world dominated by primordial evil; without pockets of love and spiritual soundness, chaos would run rampant and the Devil would have his way. Everyone who has been active in a church will quickly recognize the human frailty of some characters in this story. They will also be able to relate to those characters that have courage and an indomitable spirit. Undoubtedly, readers will be able to project names and faces from his or her own church to this storys main characters; the author did. Diamond Jubilee At Riverside illustrates opposing forces at work in a church setting as it deals with spiritual malaise that is exacerbated by external evil forces. This requires references to dogma and soul survival, which are cornerstones of religious sects. After reading this story, an ordained minister asked the author, How were you able to get into the head of a typical minister, and accurately describe church life from that perspective? The answer is obvious. All church members are ministers in a way, and as such, should be faithful pockets of resistance to the Devil. Diamond Jubilee At Riverside is a fictional story about one pocket of believers that fought evil and won.
