Download or read book Pinstripes written by John Frazier and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The craft of pinstriping dates back centuries, when carriages of royalty were painted with fine lines of exquisite detail and design. Twelve-year-old Derek Moody lives at The Greasy Spoon, a struggling roadside mart and garage. Over three days he learns that the man he calls "Dad" is not his father, and he meets Kelly Williams, the cute niece of a big customer. When the two are later caught behaving as curious adolescents, the Moodys lose the Williams business and Derek loses his new best friend. Anxious to make amends, Derek begins pinstriping customers' cars with seasoned expertise, skill he attributes to Kelly and their last encounter. He leaves home at 18, well on his way to fortune and fame. At a hot rod show he meets Cecil Caldwell, a Matchbox car vendor, and his personal life appears equally successful. Until a freak injury threatens his career at age 26. For anyone who ever grinned at a nicely-painted car, and everybody who never completely forget their first love, and anyone who ever knew the joy of a dog or the bliss of a dysfunctional family, Pinstripes is about trust and duplicity, faith and despair, cherry Chapstick and cherry-flavored pancake syrup. And the fine lines that separate all of them. After writing copy for the San Francisco offices of three international advertising agencies, John Frazier began freelancing in 1987.

He has written for clients from almost all industries, including high technology, financial, automotive, publishing, food and consumer goods, and for virtually every medium. Clients have included Apple, IBM, AT&T, Hewlett-Packard, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and Levi Strauss. For an even longer period of time, John has been fascinated by cars shiny and fast. He had his first Hot Wheels track as a young grade schooler, and attended the famed Oakland Roadster Show as a young teenager, providing his first serious look at mag wheels, chrome head covers and pinstriping, the fine lines of paint adorning the hottest of rods with flames and flourishes. Although his first car, a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner, did not sport pinstripes, it did go fast. Among his favorite movies of the era were Vanishing Point and Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry, two tributes to muscle cars and man's insatiable need for speed. In his spare time John listens to too much Sinatra.

Download or read book Gator written by Ron Guidry and published by Crown Archetype. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legendary New York Yankees pitcher Ron Guidry recounts his years playing for one of the most storied and celebrated teams in sports history--the world champion New York Yankees during their heyday in the Bronx Zoo years, with manic manager Billy Martin, headline loving owner George Steinbrenner, and an ego-driven all-star cast that included everyone from slugger Reggie Jackson and All star catcher Thurman Munson to Cy Young Award winners Sparky Lyle and Catfish Hunter. Ron Guidry, known as Gator and Louisiana Lightning to his teammates, quickly rose in 1977 to become the ace of the Yankees' stellar pitching staff, helping the team regarded as the most famous and notorious in Yankee history win the World Series. In 1978, he went 25-3 with a 1.74 ERA and won the Cy Young Award as the best pitcher in baseball, helping to bring home the Yankees' second straight World Series championship. A four-time All Star and five-time Golden Glove winner, he played from 1976 to 1988, served as the Yankees' captain in the 1980s, and remains one of the greatest pitchers in Yankee history. In Gator, Guidry takes us inside the clubhouse to tell us what it was like to play amidst the chaos and almost daily confrontations between Billy Martin and George Steinbrenner, Martin's altercations with star slugger Reggie "the straw that stirs the drink" Jackson. He talks poignantly about the death of Thurman Munson in 1979, and the impact that had on Ron and on the club. He tells stories about players like Lou Pinella, Willie Randolph, Bucky Dent, Catfish Hunter, Chris Chambliss, and Mickey Rivers, and coach Yogi Berra (who in 1984 became the Yankees' manager) and Elston Howard.

Download or read book Ambassadors in Pinstripes written by Thomas W. Zeiler and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2006-09-22 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired and led by sporting magnate Albert Goodwill Spalding, two teams of baseball players circled the globe for six months in 1888-1889 competing in such far away destinations as Australia, Sri Lanka and Egypt. These players, however, represented much more than mere pleasure-seekers. In this lively narrative, Zeiler explores the ways in which the Spalding World Baseball Tour drew on elements of cultural diplomacy to inject American values and power into the international arena. Through his chronicle of baseball history, games, and experiences, Zeiler explores expressions of imperial dreams through globalization's instruments of free enterprise, webs of modern communication and transport, cultural ordering of races and societies, and a strident nationalism that galvanized notions of American uniqueness. Spalding linked baseball to a U.S. presence overseas, viewing the world as a market ripe for the infusion of American ideas, products and energy. Through globalization during the Gilded Age, he and other Americans penetrated the globe and laid the foundation for an empire formally acquired just a decade after their tour.
