Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Germans are back in the second edition of Beer, Brats, and Baseball: German-Americans in St. Louis, with more oom-pah-pah, gemütlichkeit, and prosit than ever. In the first edition, author Jim Merkel told how Germans saved the city for the Union, brewed the beer, ran the baseball team, and helped make St. Louis place like nowhere else. The second edition adds new stories to the first. Here is the tale of the German immigrant restaurant owner who went home before World War II because people suspected him of being a Nazi sympathizer. Here too is the story of the local craft brewer who bought a German brewery so St. Louisans could drink the most authentic European beer available. And herein music lovers will learn about a musical society struggling to keep alive the Teutonic melodies its members sang in the 1870s and a local band that plays the latest tunes on German radio. In short, if it's German and it happened in St. Louis, it's in Beer, Brats, and Baseball. Book jacket.

Is it the ivy-covered walls of Wrigley Field? Or the sunshine, palm trees and mountains of Dodger Stadium? Do you prefer the laid-back West Coast vibe in San Diego and San Francisco? Or the frenzied east coast crowds of Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium?Three veteran sportswriters set out to answer that question. They created a system to rank all 30 Major League parks based on what matters most to fans. Their 4A system factors in the cost of each park (Affordability), the beauty of the park (Aesthetics), the food, drink and entertainment options (Amenities) and the excitement of the crowd (Atmosphere). Based on multiple visits to each park, they put together a 1 through 30 ranking of every stadium in the majors. And in this book, they share their rankings and describe each park based on their experience.The book is a great place to start any debate over which city has the best ballpark in baseball. And you'll learn a few things you didn't know about your favorite park as well.

Book excerpt: With his fourth book from Reedy Press, The Making of an Icon, Jim Merkel captured the spirit behind the conception and construction of one of America’s most distinctive and beloved national monuments. More than two million visitors stand in awe at the Gateway Arch each year, and the stories behind it were unearthed in breathless detail in the first edition. Back with even more lore and the addition of beautiful color images, Merkel brings new information on the Arch grounds and museum to this updated and revised second edition. Now expanded, his book includes more stories compiled from interviews with the visionaries, finaglers, protesters, and intrepid workers who built the arch while one misstep away from a fatal fall. Merkel’s book will help us appreciate the relentless pursuit, innovation, and toil that raised the Arch to the sky.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beer, Babes, and Balls explores the increasingly popular genre of sports talk radio and how it relates to contemporary ideas of masculinity. Popular culture plays a significant role in fashioning identities, and sports talk radio both reflects and inspires cultural shifts in masculinity. Through analysis of the content of sports talk radio as well as interviews with radio production staff and audience members, scholar and avid sports talk radio listener David Nylund sheds light on certain aspects of contemporary masculinity and recent shifts in gender and sexual politics. He finds that although sports talk radio reproduces many aspects of traditional masculinity, sexism, racism, and heterosexism, there are exceptions in these discourses. For instance, the most popular national host, Jim Rome, is against homophobia and racism in sport, which indicates that the medium may be a place for male sports fans to discuss gender, race, and sexuality in consequential ways. Nylund concludes that sports talk radio creates a male bonding community that has genuine moments of intimacy and connection, signifying the potential for new forms of masculinity to emerge, while simultaneously reproducing traditional forms of masculinity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's the summer of 1949, between junior high and senior high, and Sonny Madeski's big thing in life is baseball. Not for love of the game but for love of himself. He's after fame and glory. His batting average as an eighth grader was .753, so he needs a new challenge. His worst enemy, Tommy "the felon" Fallon, is delighted to supply that challenge. He dares Sonny to abandon his current team, the Loyal Angels, and go up to the Cardinals in the high school league. Sonny suspects that Tommy is up to no good, but it's a dare that no glory hound could refuse. How will Sonny react, though, after striking out six times in a row because the pitchers are all 17 and the ball is so fast he can't even see it? He'll give up, of course, and return to the Loyal Angels in shame and humiliation, just as Tommy knew he would. No he won't, not this boy. Instead, he'll reinvent himself as "the brat." That's what everybody will call him, and for good reason. He'll be truly obnoxious, even to his parents, his uncle, his religious advisor, his best friend, his girlfriend, and his teammates. But he'll also be getting on base and scoring, thanks to his foot speed, his bratty antics at the plate, and his capering on the base paths, all of which annoy and befuddle the opposing players. In other words, he'll set aside his dreams of heroism and home runs, and lower himself to "small ball" or "tiny ball," or just "brat ball." Is it possible to attain glory and fame without swinging the bat? Well, if you're Sonny "the brat" Madeski, it just might be.

This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the South Side, there lived a tactless TV guy who had a way of getting tossed out of everything on camera, from the old VP Fair to Bill Clinton’s 1996 local re-election victory party. On the South Side, there dwelt a collector of ancient vacuum cleaners, none of which worked when he demonstrated them before millions of guffawing viewers watching on national television. And on the South Side, a beer baron tried to fight off Prohibition with a high-class, three-sided beer hall. It’s all in the second edition of Hoosiers and Scrubby Dutch: St. Louis’s South Side. The first edition captured the essence of the South St. Louis, with its tales of women scrubbing steps ever Saturday, the yummy brain sandwich, and a nationally known gospel performer who ran a furniture store in the Cherokee neighborhood. These stories, along with the new ones that fill the second edition, convey what gives a truly unique place its rough but charming personality. The result—Holy Hoosiers!—is an edition that’s even better than the first!

Book excerpt: No matter when or where we grow up, the stories, people, and places that populate our memories leave an indelible mark on the manuscript that becomes our life story. A day at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904, meatless meals and hard times during the Great Depression, or knowing Mark McGwire's precise homerun count that summer of 1998 become galvanized in our own timelines, while other details fade into the background. In Growing Up St. Louis, hear the stories that stuck with more than 110 native St. Louisans over the last century told by the very people who lived through them. Ranging from joyous to humdrum, and even to grim, these childhood memories offer a glimpse of life in still frame, from the start of the twentieth century to the present day. A woman speaks lovingly of the elephant ears she bought in University City in the 1950s while a future local sportscaster falls in love with sports as he and his dad watch the 1968 World Series. With new and old photographs to accompany the essays, join veteran author Jim Merkel on a journey through ten decades of coming of age in St. Louis. Whether they spark nostalgia or empathy, they'll surely provoke commentary about how deeply our tender years impact us for the rest of our lives.

Book excerpt: ‘The guys would come into the glider like a bunch of piss-ants, skittering around, real cocky like. But they settled down in the glider. Some got airsick and they began thinking about what was ahead. One time we were fired on just as we were landing and exiting the glider and one of the boys was hit. His friends dragged him to cover beneath a tree. He looked up at me and said, “Take my rifle, I’m dying.” I reached down and took his weapon, and he slumped back and died. That was pretty tough...’ Combat gliders were called by some as ‘Death Crates’, ‘Purple Heart Boxes’, ‘Flying Coffins’ and ‘Tow Targets’. They were not pretty and had no graceful lines. Viewed from the front, they had a pug nose and a sloping Neanderthal forehead. Their wings looked like the heavily-starched ears of a jackrabbit placed at right angles on a canvas-covered frame. Twice the length of the body, these wings were eighty-four feet in length, 70 per cent as long as the Wright Brothers’ first powered flight at Kitty Hawk. They could not become airborne, let alone fly, unless assisted by an engine-powered tow plane. And for those riding in the back, it was like flying ‘through the gates of hell’. The men who were trained and assigned to guide gliders into battle were said to be the only pilots who had no motors, armament, parachutes and no second chances. Like the aircraft they commanded, they were called inglorious names such as The Bastards Nobody Wanted, Glider Gladiators in Wooden Chariots; Hybrid Jackasses and Glory Boys. Beautifully written, profoundly illustrated and researched, Silent Invaders: Combat Gliders of the Second World War is a work that is dedicated to those brave men under impossible odds from the British and American servicemen on D-Day, the doomed Operation Market Garden in Holland and Hitler’s radical commando raid to rescue Mussolini. Illustrations: 80 black-and-white photographs

How did seven young boys and one young girl captivate an exclusive area of New York real estate with just a tennis ball, mop handle, and a notebook? Take a homerun trot around the unfriendly cement confines of "Pinball Park" and learn how a creative imagination and a true passion for America's great game were more than enough to make eight street ball players in to one memorable book.
