Download or read book Yankees 1936 39 Baseball s Greatest Dynasty written by Stanley Cohen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story of the Greatest Yankees Team—and Baseball Team—of All Time New York, 1936. Red Ruffing, Lefty Gomez, Bill Dickey, Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri, and rookie Joe DiMaggio—with these six future Hall of Fame players, the Yankees embarked on a four-year run that would go down in the history books as the greatest Yankees team, if not, the greatest baseball team of all time. Over the next four years, the Yankees won four straight pennants, finishing an average of nearly fifteen games ahead of the second-place team. They won their four World Series by an overall margin of 16-3, sweeping the last two, putting the punctuation mark on baseball’s first true dynasty. Even the Ruthian Yankees of the twenties never won more than two consecutive world championships. From 1936 to 1939, the world was changing rapidly. America was in the grip of the Great Depression. Franklin D. Roosevelt was re-elected president in the greatest landslide in American history. And Hitler’s Germany was on the move in the fall of 1939, just as the Yankee dynasty reached its climax. Against the backdrop of a world in turmoil, baseball, and America’s love for baseball, thrived. Starring the best team of all time, featuring little-known anecdotes of players and set against a history of the world, Yankees 1936–39, Baseball's Greatest Dynasty tells the tale of a legendary team that changed history.

Download or read book The Old Man from Leftfield written by Neil McKee and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was a kid in the late 1950s, while I was a student at Paoli Elementary School, I read the famous children's book that talks about the Kid from Leftfield. Also around that time, I always said to myself, "What is it going to be like in the year 2000? I'll be fifty years old!" I couldn't comprehend being that old; the thought of it scared me, and I'd probably be in a wheelchair or something worse. I bet a lot of people my age thought the same thing. This is the story of what that kid did when he reached the age of fifty.

Download or read book Cormac McCarthy s House written by Peter Josyph and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Novelist Cormac McCarthy’s brilliant and challenging work demands deep engagement from his readers. In Cormac McCarthy’s House, author, painter, photographer, and actor-director Peter Josyph draws on a wide range of experience to pose provocative, unexpected questions about McCarthy’s work, how it is achieved, and how it is interpreted. As a visual artist, Josyph wrestles with the challenge of rendering McCarthy’s former home in El Paso as a symbol of a great writer’s workshop. As an actor and filmmaker, he analyzes the high art of Tommy Lee Jones in The Sunset Limited and No Country for Old Men. Invoking the recent suicide of a troubled friend, he grapples with the issue of “our brother’s keeper” in The Crossing and The Sunset Limited. But for Josyph, reading the finest prose-poet of our day is a project into which he invites many voices, and his investigations include a talk with Mark Morrow about photographing McCarthy while he was writing Blood Meridian; an in-depth conversation with director Tom Cornford on the challenges of staging The Sunset Limited and The Stonemason; a walk through the streets, waterfronts, and hidden haunts of Suttree with McCarthy scholar and Knoxville resident Wesley Morgan; insights from the cast of The Gardener’s Son about a controversial scene in that film; actress Miriam Colon’s perspective on portraying the Dueña Alfonsa opposite Matt Damon in All the Pretty Horses; and a harsh critique of Josyph’s views on The Crossing by McCarthy scholar Marty Priola, which leads to a sometimes heated debate. Illustrated with thirty-one photographs, Josyph’s unconventional journeys into the genius of Cormac McCarthy form a new, highly personal way of appreciating literary greatness.

They come in dozens of types due to their long history. Best of all, the myriad of textures and flavors available means there is a pudding to satisfy even the pickiest of palates. In the United States, a pudding is usually a soft and creamy dessert that is made with eggs or milk. Think of custards, crème brûlées, and chocolate mousses. In the United Kingdom, puddings aren’t necessarily creamy or milky. For example, toffee pudding and jam roly-poly, both common family desserts, are more similar to cake and can have a crumblier texture. Quite possibly the most famous British pudding is Christmas pudding. This very moist fruit cake contains candied orange peel, brown sugar, raisins, and spices. Traditionally, brandy is poured over the top and set on fire! In Asia, rice pudding is a popular dessert. Known as kheer in India, it is made by boiling milk and sugar with rice. Raisins, nuts, and saffron can be added to improve the flavor. Coconut milk, tapioca, and mango are also commonly added, giving this dessert a light, tropical flavor. 對任何喜歡吃甜食的人來說，布丁是個美好的發明。由於歷史悠久，它們有許多種類。最棒的是，能找到各式各樣的口感和口味，意味著就連最挑剔的味蕾都能被滿足。 在美國，布丁通常是一種用雞蛋或牛奶製成的柔軟滑順的甜點。想想蛋奶凍、焦糖布丁（又稱「烤布蕾」）和巧克力慕斯。在英國，布丁不一定是滑順或含有牛奶。舉例來說，太妃糖布丁和果醬布丁捲，這兩種常見的家常點心比較類似蛋糕而且口感可能比較酥脆。最有名的英國布丁很可能是聖誕布丁。這種非常濕潤的水果蛋糕包含糖漬的橘子皮、紅糖、葡萄乾和香料。傳統上，會把白蘭地倒在上面然後點火燃燒！ 在亞洲，米布丁是很受歡迎的甜點。它在印度稱為kheer，是將牛奶和糖與米一起煮沸製作而成。可以加入葡萄乾、堅果和番紅花來提味。也常加入椰奶、粉圓（印度當地稱作「西米」）和芒果，讓這道甜點帶有清爽、熱帶的風味。 10/22 Today, puddings might be found under the “desserts” section of a restaurant menu, but back in the Middle Ages, when they first saw the light of day, puddings were typically savory. They started out as something like a boiled sausage. The meat was mixed with blood, fat, and maybe rice or bread. Then it was stuffed into animal stomachs or intestines before it was cooked. The more well known of the savory puddings include Scotland’s haggis—a mixture of sheep’s organs, onion, fat, and spices stuffed in a sheep’s stomach and boiled. Over time, people began using cloth instead of animal stomachs or intestines as a holder, and adding spices, ginger, and dried fruit to the meat mix. Gradually, sweet puddings were introduced, but these were still boiled, just like the savory types. With ovens becoming more common in 19th century Britain, baked puddings began to appear. These looked like our modern-day pies and tarts, which explains why “pudding” can also mean “dessert” in Britain. Now that you know more about puddings, there’s still one question: which one tastes the best? There’s only one way to find out, for as they say, the proof is in the pudding! 今天，布丁或許能在餐廳菜單的「甜點」部分找到，但在中世紀，當時布丁剛問世，它們通常是鹹的，一開始是像水煮香腸的東西。肉和血、油脂混在一起，或許還會加入米或麵包，接著塞進動物的胃或腸子裡再拿去煮。比較知名的鹹布丁包括蘇格蘭的哈吉斯——將羊的器官、洋蔥、油脂和香料的混和物塞進羊的胃裡後水煮而成。 久而久之，人們開始用布來代替動物的胃或腸子作為容器，並在肉餡裡加入香料、薑和水果乾。漸漸地，引進了甜布丁，但它們仍像鹹布丁一樣是用水煮的。由於烤箱在十九世紀的英國越來越普及，烤布丁於是開始出現。這些看起來就像我們現代的派和果餡餅，這解釋了為什麼「布丁」在英國也可以用來表示「甜點」。 既然你對布丁有更多認識，但還有一個問題：哪一種最好吃呢？只有一個方法可以得知，就如他們所說的，吃了才知道！

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Newbery Honor- and Coretta Scott King Author Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Renée Watson comes a heartwarming and inspiring novel for middle schoolers about finding deep roots and exploring the past, the present, and the places that make us who we are. All Amara wants for her birthday is to visit her father's family in New York City--Harlem, to be exact. She can't wait to finally meet her Grandpa Earl and cousins in person, and to stay in the brownstone where her father grew up. Maybe this will help her understand her family--and herself--in new way. But New York City is not exactly what Amara thought it would be. It's crowded, with confusing subways, suffocating sidewalks, and her father is too busy with work to spend time with her and too angry to spend time with Grandpa Earl. As she explores, asks questions, and learns more and more about Harlem and about her father and his family history, she realizes how, in some ways more than others, she connects with him, her home, and her family.

Download or read book The Ultimate Philadelphia Athletics Reference Book 1901 1954 written by Ted Taylor and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-02-10 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Coombs (1906-14) won three games in the 1910 World Series, an amazing accomplishment for any pitcher. (In three World Series he was lifetime 5-0.) That year he had gone 31-9 to pace the A’s and lead the league in victories. He was 28-12 the following season and 21-10 in 1912, clearly the best years of his fourteen-year-career. He spent four years with Brooklyn and finished up with Detroit. Lifetime in 355 games Jack was 159-110. After his playing days were over he became head baseball coach at Duke University and sent a number of players to the A’s during that time. Orge “Pat” Cooper (1946) a pitcher, not the comedian, who was one of those “Cup of Coffee” guys who saw action in one game, one inning and was never seen or heard from again in the majors. In the minors he pitched, played the outfield and first base and got into 622 games over ten years batting, of all things, .318. As a minor-league pitcher, he was 24-16. Arthur “Bunny” Corcoran (1915) was a member of the ’15 A’s. He was 0-4 in his one game at third base. Played just two minor-league campaigns (1920 at Norfolk and 1921 at Rocky Mount), played in 238 games and batted .230. Ensign “Dick” Cottrell (1913) spent small parts of five different years in the majors—and every one of them with a different team. With the A’s he was 1-0, with the rest of them, combined, he was 0-2. In four minor-league seasons, he won 34, lost 26. Why would someone give their kid a military rank as a first name? Stan Coveleski (1912) Hall of Famer, a native of Shamokin, PA, Stan started his fourteen-year career with the A’s in 1912 and, somehow, they let him get away after he went 2-1. In fact he spent four years in the minors and was twenty-seven before he was back in the majors to stay, mostly with Cleveland (1916-24). He also saw service with Washington and the Yankees. Lifetime in 450 games, Coveleski won 215, lost 142 with an ERA of 2.88. He was the brother of Harry Coveleski a very good southpaw major-league pitcher who appeared with the Phillies, Reds, and Tigers over nine years (1907-18). Ironically the two brothers never faced each other on the mound. The correct spelling of his last name was Coveleskie, but he never corrected anyone and, as a consequence, his Hall of Famer The Ultimate Philadelphia Athletics Reference Book 1901-1954 93 plaque has his last name spelled incorrectly. (The original spelling of his name was Kowalewski, he and his brother changed it legally). Stan Coveleskie shared the same name (and they spelled it right, too) not the same talents as the well-known Hall of Famer. Stan played in the minors for six seasons (1944-51), five of them in the Phillies farm system, one in the A’s organization. A catcher by trade, Coveleskie appeared in 346 games and batted .261. Homer Cox was signed as a catcher by the A’s in 1938 and spent the majority of his ten-year minor-league career in their organization. He played in 578 games and had a .301 lifetime batting average, but never really got out of the low minors. He batted .367 for Lexington in 1945 in eighty-four games, his best season. Martin “Toots” Coyne (1914) went zero for two in his one game for the A’s. No other pro record exists. Born and died in St. Louis. Jim Roy Crabb (1912) in seven games for the A’s he was 2-4, in two games with the White Sox to start the season, he was 0-1. Lifetime, one year, nine games. Spent seven seasons in the minors, winning seventy-six, losing seventy-one. Once lost twenty games playing for three different teams in 1914. George Craig (1907) no decisions in two appearances. He was a left hander. Was 6-5 in his one minor-league season. Roger “Doc” Cramer (1929-35) who belongs in the Hall of Fame and will never get there despite his twenty-year-career and lifetime batting average of .296. His best A’s year was 1935 when he batted .332 in 149 games. Cramer appeared in 2,239 games, had 2,705 hits and batted over .300 eight times

Download or read book Teaching on Borrowed Time written by Laurence C. Schwartz and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-02-16 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Teaching on Borrowed Time: An Adjunct’s Memoir, Laurence C. Schwartz guides the reader through his thirty-plus years of teaching part-time as an adjunct lecturer on the university circuit. Always unpredictable and never dull, Schwartz’s journey will take him to twenty different colleges and to twenty-three different subjects. The swirling range of topics Schwartz has discussed in his classes include Aristotle, social media, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Charles Manson, feminism, Charlie Chaplin, Mel Brooks, opera, the Grateful Dead, Playboy magazine, Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs, and many others. At one point, Schwartz teaches the art of hieroglyphics to five-year-olds at the Summer Institute for the Gifted. Ever the outsider, Schwartz chronicles the highs, lows, and in-betweens of teaching at public universities, private universities, four-year colleges, community colleges, sectarian colleges, a New York City high school, inner-city campuses, suburban campuses, and elite New England private academies. In addition to his consistently precarious livelihood as an adjunct, Schwartz directs, writes, and acts in the New York theater scene. Given that 65 percent of the nation’s undergraduate faculty consists of adjuncts, who have uncertain job security, Teaching on Borrowed Time gives voice to the adjunct community as well as those who stubbornly forge ahead in their professional quests for the sheer joy of the work.
