Download or read book The Great Baseball Road Trip written by Lyndon Suvanto and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-07-02 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After 2 years of hard-work and tears, I finally managed to tell my story of my once-in-a-lifetime journey across North America. My friend Dusan and I spent 66 days covering the entire continent with the goal of seeing every MLB team play in their home stadiums. It was an incredibly massive undertaking that neither of us were prepared for. Enjoy our uncensored story through the United States. I wanted to deliver the most accurate version of my story as I could. I believe that I covered everything, the good and bad. All the booze, cans of cold food, discount hotels and nights sleeping in the car. It was a life changing experience. Over 66 days, we covered more than 35000 kms, had 4 oil changes, and 30 baseball games. Aside from baseball, we explored everything the country had to offer, from Roswell to the Grand Canyon, and all the way to the beaches of Miami. I hope you enjoy this book, because this journey changed my life.
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.

Download or read book The Tour to End All Tours written by James E. Elfers and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the winter of 1913 and the spring of 1914 the New York Giants and the Chicago White Sox took a trip around the world. Organized by crusty John McGraw of the Giants and the White Sox's Charles Comiskey, it was a trip of epic proportions-a tour to end all tours recreated here in all its monumental sweep and comical detail. This book follows the two teams, whose members include Christy Mathewson, Jim Thorpe, and half a dozen other future Hall-of-Famers, as they barnstorm across the United States and sail the seas to Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, finishing with a game before twenty thousand fans and King George V. Along the way, baseball's envoys meet such dignitaries as Pope Pius X, tea magnate Thomas Lipton, and the last khedive of Egypt. They play the tables of Monaco, survive a near-shipwreck, and cram a lifetime's worth of adventures into six months. Their story, told here for the first time, gives readers a glimpse into baseball history and the innocence and spirit of a long-gone era. James E. Elfers is a library analyst at the University of Delaware.
Download or read book The History of Tiger Stadium written by Doc Fletcher and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-30 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a fan's love letter to baseball played at the Corner of Michigan and Trumbull, in downtown Detroit, first at wooden Bennett Park (1896-1911) and then at its steel and concrete replacement known by three names: Navin Field (1912-1937), Briggs Stadium (1938-1960), and finally, Tiger Stadium (1961-1999). The Cathedral at The Corner was where-together with our great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, siblings, children, godchildren, and friends-we have cheered our Detroit Tigers. Although the structure is gone, the memories remain. This book is a tribute to the characters on the field, in the stands, and those in the neighborhoods surrounding the ballpark, as well as to the broadcasters who brought the action to us when we couldn't be there. It is from those characters and those who knew them, loved them, or both from which many of the book's stories come from. Baseball is a game of statistics, their inclusion critical to the history told, but it's the back stories that give the book its humanity, humor, and liveliness.

Download or read book Play Baseball the Ripken Way written by Cal Ripken, Jr. and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2005-01-25 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, hundreds of thousands of children play “Cal Ripken Baseball” in the largest division of Babe Ruth League, Inc. Play Baseball the Ripken Way is the ultimate guide to playing the game, by one of the sport’s living legends. Baseball is America’s national pastime, but that doesn’t mean we’re all born naturals. Kids of all ages (and their parents) are eager to improve specific skills, and now they can learn from one of the most respected baseball families in history. Cal and Bill Ripken have written a thoroughly illustrated instructional book that clearly explains proper baseball fundamentals—hitting, fielding, baserunning, pitching, and much more. Based on the teachings of the late Cal Ripken, Sr., a player, coach, manager, and scout in the Baltimore Orioles system for thirty-seven years, Play Baseball the Ripken Way shows players just what they need to do to be their best while maintaining a sense of fun and accomplishment with every new lesson. The Ripken Way consists of the following principles: *Keep It Simple: Teaching that is too complicated is difficult to remember and can result in frustration. *Explain Why: A teacher who cannot explain why is not truly teaching. Lessons that make sense will stick with players. *Celebrate the Individual: No two players are alike, so why treat them as if they are? *Make It Fun: The game gets serious enough quickly enough on its own. Drills and instruction should be structured so that players can enjoy themselves while learning. The book also includes tips for parents and coaches, practice workouts, and drills for players of every level.

Download or read book Brit at the Ballpark written by Peter Taylor and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work follows the journey Peter Taylor undertook during the summer of 2007 (and a bit of 2009), when he set out to achieve a long held ambition and see a baseball game in every major league ballpark, a minor league game in those states without a major league franchise, plus the All-Star game and the post-season. His adventures along the way include throwing out a first pitch in Connecticut, becoming a TV reporter for the post-season, and undergoing an eye operation. It also looks whimsically at America's pastime, and America, through the eyes of an Englishman, and how we are, in the words of George Bernard Shaw, "two nations separated by a common language."
