Download or read book Baseball is America written by Jr. Baltov and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BASEBALL IS AMERICA explores America's Pastime through a trilogy of books: "A Child of Baseball" bats leadoff. Baseball, the bellybutton of society is a metaphor for America, acting both as its direction and reflection. Baseball is America, America is baseball. American history, embracing its religious past as a Christian nation, and baseball history, including its synthetic enhancement precedent, is traced through a tapestry of time in a life story format. Born into the Glory Days of New York baseball in 1955, baseball provides the author both identity and meaning. Narrative backdrops track both Reds and Yankee baseball, making historic stops over a 100+ year timeline. A 40+ year playing career is traced from 1962 Edison Little League through 2005 Roy Hobbs World Series in Edison's winter home (Fort Myers). Symbolism, baseball-speak, numerology, simile, nickname, euphemism and metaphor applications create a thought provoking and intriguing word sleuth effect exploring topics deep down in places we don't talk about at parties. Satire and cynical humor stragically integrated buffers acid discussion of controversial issues. Sixties youth ball is viewed and described through a Garden State lens. Seventies ball scenery drastically switches to the Sooner State while the 80's, 90's and new millenium take on a Lone Star State flavor with Space City the focal point. Pop culture, American history (including its Christian nation history) is tactically incorporated into the read. Baseball remains the only venue in America where religion can be pitched into public square casual conversation without being debased as a "nut-job" or being shown the door. The read displays no reservations of informally discussing topics from both Creator-based and man-based religious perspectives. The events surrounding the 1919 World Series, that the Reds accidentally won, are retold through the lens of a Cincinnati native who actually voted present, the author's grandpa.

Download or read book Home Game written by Bret Boone and published by Crown Archetype. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the first third-generation player in Major League history, a sometimes moving, always candid inside look at his family’s seventy years in baseball A five-foot-ten fireball questioned by scouts because of his small stature, supposed lack of power, and cocky attitude, Bret Boone didn’t care about family legacy as he fought his way to the Major Leagues in 1992; he wanted to make his own way. He did just that, building a career that featured three All-Star appearances, four Gold Gloves, a bout with alcoholism, and the mixed blessing of being traded three times. But now that he’s coaching minor leaguers half his age—and his fifteen-year-old son has the potential to be the first fourth-generation Major Leaguer—Bret has a new perspective on his remarkable family, with its ten All-Star appearances, 634 home runs, 3,139 RBIs, and countless kitchen-table debates about the game’s greatest players. For the first time, he’s ready to share his adventures as part of the sport’s First Family. Infused with Bret’s candor and deep love of the game, Home Game traces baseball’s evolution—on the field and behind the scenes—from his grandfather Ray’s era in the 1950s to his father Bob’s in the ’70s and ’80s to the one he shared with his brother Aaron in the ’90s and 2000s—sometimes called the PED era—when players made millions, dined on lobster in the clubhouse, and, in some cases, indulged in performance-enhancing drugs. Along the way, his book also touches on Boone family lore, from Ray playing with his hero Ted Williams and Bob winning a World Series with the 1980 Phillies to Bret’s flop in a nationally televised home-run derby and Aaron’s historic home run in the 2003 playoffs. Blending nostalgia, close analysis of the game, insight into baseball’s unwritten codes, and controversial thoughts on its future as a sport and a business, Bret Boone offers a one-of-a-kind look at the national pastime—from the colorful, quotable scion of a family whose business is baseball.

Download or read book Finally Enough Is Enough written by Amber Parks and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-09-24 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally, enough is enough! Do you wonder if you will ever find freedom from the shame, bitterness, resentment, and brokenness that you carry around with you every day? Do you wonder if anyone will truly love you the way that God loves you? Do you believe that you can live a victorious life free from fear, from always looking over your shoulder, or wondering how you are going to make it through today? If you said yes to one of these or all of these, then you have picked up the right book. It is time to say, "Finally, enough is enough." It is time to believe that you are worth much more than a punching bag, and you deserve to be loved, feel loved, and be free to live a victorious life. We all have wounds of many different sizes that have shaped us into who we are, and that is not how God sees us. Our past does not define us. Through God's grace and forgiveness, we are set free from our past. If you have dealt with sexual, physical, emotional, verbal, spousal, spiritual abuse, or abandonment, all of this will affect you as a child and then alter the way you think, act, and feel as an adult. It will rob you of the life that God intended you to live. God does not expect us to live a life full of abuse that would bound and cripple us from a life of freedom. In Finally, Enough Is Enough, Amber shares her story with you, explaining how she broke free from thirty-eight years of abuse. At the age of thirty-eight, she finally had an aha moment--a moment that she realized she is worth much more and deserves much more. She dug in deep and broke free from all the lies by healing her heart, letting go of the hurt, and learning the true meaning of forgiveness. Amber is no longer living her life as a victim; rather, she is living a victorious life that God intended her to live. The purpose of telling her story is to help guide you to freedom and true happiness, to help break you from living as a victim and embrace living a victorious life.
