Download or read book Rocky Colavito written by Mark Sommer and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:  Iconic ballplayer Rocky Colavito captivated fans during the 1950s and 1960s with his movie-star looks, boyish enthusiasm, powerful bat and cannon-like arm. This biography of "the Rock"--the first in more than half a century--recounts his origins in an Italian immigrant family, his close friendships with Herb Score and Roger Maris, and his rise through the minors to become one of the Cleveland Indians' most beloved players--who retired with the third most home runs by a right-handed AL batter. The author also examines the controversial trade that sent Colavito, the AL's 1959 home run champion, to the Detroit Tigers for batting champion Harvey Kuenn. Colavito's departure was a crushing blow to Indians fans and the team's subsequent 34-year slump was dubbed "the Curse of Colavito."

Download or read book Rock Solid written by Tim Raines and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a decade, Tim Raines patrolled left field for the nascent Montreal Expos, igniting the powder keg of what would become one of the most innovative, entertaining, and talented teams of the modern era. Raines, nicknamed "Rock," hit and stole his way into the hearts of baseball fans across North America. The seven-time all-star tore through the Expos record books before moving on to the Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics, Baltimore Orioles, and Florida Marlins, ultimately earning three World Series rings. And now Raines sit on the cusp of entering Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. But it wasn't always easy playing for the upstart Montreal Expos or being Tim Raines. Raines' performance dipped in 1982, and at the end of the season, Raines entered treatment for substance abuse for cocaine addiction. To avoid leaving the drug in his locker, Raines would carry it in his hip pocket, and would slide headfirst when stealing bases. He used cocaine before games, in his car, after games, and on some occasions between innings in the clubhouse. Raines would later testify at the infamous Pittsburgh drug trials, in September 1985, and would ultimately resume his career at a high level and once again become one of baseball's brightest stars, on and off the field. This memoir entails the life and playing career of one of the sport's all-time greatest leaders and personalities, an honest, raw, and compelling tale of triumph and redemption.

In the fall of 1962 her family moved once again to Dallas, Texas. Toni met and married her husband in 1970, and began a journey of ranching, horses and real estate management.

In the last thirty years her riding experiences included dressage, jumping, endurance, and most recently cutting horses. The horses have been her passion but horse people usually have companion animals as well that Toni reads. Toni's public career began at a seminar when a friend she was reading a horse for asked her to help her son recover his pick up truck that was stolen in Arizona. This thrust her into a new career she had not planned on. Since that day ten years ago Toni has traveled the United States and Australia reading horses and teaching others how to get in touch with their own abilities. Toni conducts all of her readings by phone and only does in person reading when she is teaching. Toni has published two other books Fair Game and Petscopes.
