Download or read book Rooney written by Rob L. Ruck and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born to an Irish Catholic working-class family on the Northside of Pittsburgh, Art Rooney (1901–88) dabbled in semipro baseball and boxing before discovering that his real talent lay not in playing sports but in promoting them. Though he was at the center of boxing, baseball, and racing in Pittsburgh and beyond, Rooney is best remembered for his contribution to the NFL, in particular to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team he founded in 1933. As Rooney led the team in the early years, he came to be known as football’s greatest loser; his influence, however, was instrumental in making the NFL the best-run league in American pro sports. The authors show how Rooney saw professional football—and the Steelers—through the Depression, World War II, the ascension of TV, and the development of the NFL. The book also follows him through the Steelers’ dynasty years under Rooney’s sons, with four Super Bowl titles in the 1970s alone. The first authoritative look at one of the most iconic figures in the history of the NFL, this book is both a critical chapter in the story of football in America and a thoroughly engaging in-depth introduction to a character unlike any other in the annals of American sports.

Download or read book Sandlot Football written by George Eaton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-14 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sandlot Football story begins in 1948, and is based on the author's teenage experiences in his West Philadelphia neighborhood. A key to the story is Geordie Eaton's decision to join a tough Irish-Catholics' team in violent sandlot football games with other neighborhood teams. The earlier sandlot games were marked by players with little protective gear, poor playing fields, fights, "ringers", and the absence of real referees. Geordie's Jewish mother opposed him playing football with "those ruffians," but despite his son's mounting injuries Geordie's father manages to fend off his wife's objections. Geordie's wounds, unique neighborhood events, and education of the five Eaton children are topics of lively family dinners. and no dinner is complete without the mother's use of pertinent and clever Yiddish expressions to cajole, coach, and criticize. The story follows Geordie's coming of age experiences in a rooftop leap, a corner lot's bomb, the Neighborhood's Nazi battle with Mad Man Mountain, the Red Belly initiation, his progression from sandlot football to Penn's freshman football team, infatuation with an Italian girlfriend, a disastrous NROTC cruise to Bermuda , and a defining game versus a semi-pro football team.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The industry's longest-running publication for baseball analysts and fantasy leaguers, Ron Shandler's Baseball Forecaster, published annually since 1986, is the first book to approach prognostication by breaking performance down into its component parts. Rather than predicting batting average, for instance, this resource looks at the elements of skill that make up any given batter's ability to distinguish between balls and strikes, his propensity to make contact with the ball, and what happens when he makes contact—reverse engineering those skills back into batting average. The result is an unparalleled forecast of baseball abilities and trends for the upcoming season and beyond.
