Book excerpt: The path to victory starts on the sidelines, in this fast-paced new middle grade series from #1 New York Times bestselling sportwriting powerhouse John Feinstein. Twelve-year-old Jeff Michaels, son of a Philadelphia TV sports reporter, is just learning to play soccer on the new sixth-grade team at his middle school. Andrea Carillo has fought her way onto the squad, but the coach doesn’t think girls should play with boys, so she’s riding the bench with Jeff—even though she’s one of the best players. With Jeff’s help, the Philly media gets ahold of the story, and suddenly Andi is all over the news as she shows her worth on the soccer field. But amid bullies, threats, and a media firestorm, will Andi’s skills and Jeff’s perseverance be enough to save the season? From sportswriter John Feinstein comes this action-packed novel about two kids who may be "benchwarmers," but prove themselves naturals when it comes to teamwork, friendship, and finding a path to victory.

Book excerpt: A moving, funny, inventive parenting memoir, written in a surprising form: an encyclopedia of failure in sports What can a new father learn about parenthood from reading sports almanacs? For most dads, the answer to this question is: nothing. But to Josh Wilker, whose life and writing have been defined by sports fandom, all of the joy, helplessness, and absurdity of parenthood are present between the lines. After all, what better way to think about losing control than Eugenio Velez's forty-five consecutive at-bats without a hit? How better to understand ridiculous joy than the NFL career of Walter Achiu, whose nickname was "Sneeze"? In the stories of sports figures large and small, Wilker finds the pathos in success and the humor in losing. As the terrified father of a one-day-old, Wilker recalls the 1986 World Series, when the moment was too big for the Red Sox. When he finds himself stealing away for an hour of alone time, Wilker thinks of boxer Roberto Duran, so beaten by Sugar Ray Leonard that he finally gave up. And yet, even as the frustrations and anxieties build, Wilker remembers Mets pitcher Anthony Young, who broke the baseball record for most consecutive losses -- and never stopped showing up. Finding the richness of life in obscure wrestling maneuvers and pop-ups lost in the sun, Benchwarmer is a book of unique humanity and surprising wisdom.

Book Synopsis The Benchwarmers by : Joseph C. Goulden
Download or read book The Benchwarmers written by Joseph C. Goulden and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'The Benchwarmers' is concerned with the personalities and the politics of the federal trial bench - how a man is appointed to the judciary, and how he behaves once he gets there. The first chapter explores the appointing process, and how the varying demands of the Senate, the White House, the political parties and the organized bar are brought into sometimes precarious balance. There are two chapters on how the judicial system looks when it is working as it should - in New York, under Chief Judge David N. Edelstein; and in Washington, under Chief Judge John J. Sirica, of Watergate fame. There are two chapters on how the sytem can become botched - through a single judge, as in Oklahoma City with the ferociously erratic Stephen S. Chandler; and through most of a district bench, as was true in Chicago, where a goodly number of the judges were incompetent to serve for one reason or another. There is a brief look at the role of the circuit courts of appeal, the intermediate bench between the district trial courts and the Supreme Court, from the perspective of the circuit court in the district of Columbia - the most controversial in the nation. And there is an exploration of judicial self-government - the velvet-gloved and oh-so-private techniques the judges use in an attempt to make their wayward brethren behave, or retire." -- p. 17.
