Book excerpt: Youth travel baseball represents one of the few remaining, recession-proof industries in America. The promise of scholarship offers and professional contracts, though fleeting and infrequent, fuel the phenomenon. It has spawned the rise of travel team competitions and venues in youth sports everywhere. At no time in the recorded history of youth sports has the importance of teaching and learning formed such an important component to youth development. After their playing days end, our children carry forward the life lessons they learn in youth sports. As the adults giving way to future generations, we must capitalize on the opportunities afforded to us to provide for the practical, wholesome development of our youth. Youth League Umpire sheds important light on the backdrop of that development process. From the lifelong perspective of a youth sports official, Ump Joe provides valuable insight from which the young and old may all benefit. His work and his perspective will make his book a timely and much-read resource for those who want to improve the youth sports industry on behalf of the people who matter most, our children who play the games.

Download or read book Standing the Gaff written by Harry Johnson and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harry "Steamboat" Johnson brought to early baseball great integrity and a pugnacious style. Toughness?being able to "stand the gaff"?was essential during his long career afs an umpire. From 1909 to 1935 Johnson umpired in exhibition games andøminor leagues (except for the 1914 season in the National League) from Los Angeles to Toronto. When fans screamed "Kill the umpire!" he responded he'd rather die on a baseball field than anywhere else. With disarming directness and humor, Steamboat Johnson tells what it was like umpiring for various leagues (the wild Western was nicknamed "101 Ranch"), being on the road (lonely because umpires could not fraternize with players), and getting into all sorts of jams (he once took on Ty Cobb in a 1922 exhibition game between the Detroit Tigers and the St. Louis Cardinals). "Standing the gaff" meant surviving the wrath of players?and of fans, who hurled insults and pop bottles. After a game, Steamboat would be escorted to his hotel by the police. Johnson instructs would-be umpires, answers questions from fans, and names the best players he ever saw. Until now, Standing the Gaff, originally published in 1935, has been hard to find. This Bison Book edition makes it available to buffs and social historians and those curious about baseball in its rowdy adolescence. In a new introduction, Larry R. Gerlach tells more about Steamboat's life.

Download or read book The Matheny Manifesto written by Mike Matheny and published by Crown. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny's New York Times bestselling manifesto about what parents, coaches, and athletes get wrong about sports; what we can do better; and how sports can teach eight keys to success in sports and life. Mike Matheny was just forty-one, without professional managerial experience and looking for a next step after a successful career as a Major League catcher, when he succeeded the legendary Tony La Russa as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2012. While Matheny has enjoyed immediate success, leading the Cards to the postseason four times in his first four years−a Major League record−people have noticed something else about his life, something not measured in day-to-day results. Instead, it’s based on a frankly worded letter he wrote to the parents of a Little League team he coached, a cry for change that became an Internet sensation and eventually a “manifesto.” The tough-love philosophy Matheny expressed in the letter contained his throwback beliefs that authority should be respected, discipline and hard work rewarded, spiritual faith cultivated, family made a priority, and humility considered a virtue. In The Matheny Manifesto, he builds on his original letter by first diagnosing the problem at the heart of youth sports−it starts with parents and coaches−and then by offering a hopeful path forward. Along the way, he uses stories from his small-town childhood as well as his career as a player, coach, and manager to explore eight keys to success: leadership, confidence, teamwork, faith, class, character, toughness, and humility. From “The Coach Is Always Right, Even When He’s Wrong” to “Let Your Catcher Call the Game,” Matheny’s old-school advice might not always be popular or politically correct, but it works. His entertaining and deeply inspirational book will not only resonate with parents, coaches, and athletes, it will also be a powerful reminder, from one of the most successful new managers in the game, of what sports can teach us all about winning on the field and in life.

Download or read book The Umpire Strikes Back written by Ron Luciano and published by Permuted Press. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is Ron Luciano, the funniest ump ever to call balls and strikes. A huge and awesome legend who leaps and spins and shoots players with an index finger while screaming OUTOUTOUT!!! Now baseball's flamboyant fan-on-the-field comes out from behind the mask to call the game as he really sees it. There’s the day the automatic umpire debuted at home plate—and struck out. The time Rod Carew stole home twice in one inning, and Earl Weaver stole second base—and took it back to the dugout. The pitch Tommy John dropped on the mound, which Luciano called a strike. And there’s the fantastic phantom double play, the impossible frozen ice-ball theory, and, another first, Luciano picking Harmon Killebrew off second base. From brawls to catcalls, from dugout jokes to on-the-field pratfalls to one-of-a-kind conversations with baseball’s greats, Ron Luciano, the only umpire who confessed to missing calls, takes a few grand slam swings of his own. It is baseball at its best.
