Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jackie Robinson is one of the most revered public figures of the twentieth century. He is remembered for both his athletic prowess and his strong personal character. The world knows him as the man who crossed baseball’s color line, but there is much more to his legacy. At the conclusion of his baseball career, Robinson continued in his pursuit of social progress through his work as a writer. Beyond Home Plate, an anthology of Jackie Robinson’s columns in the New York Post and the New York Amsterdam News, offers fresh insight into the Hall of Famer’s life and work following his historic years on the baseball diamond. Robinson’s syndicated newspaper columns afforded him the opportunity to provide rich social commentary while simultaneously exploring his own life and experiences. He was free to write about any subject of his choosing, and he took full advantage of this license, speaking his mind about everything from playing Santa to confronting racism in the Red Sox nation, from loving his wife Rachel to despising Barry Goldwater, from complaining about Cassius Clay’s verbosity to teaching Little Leaguers how to lose well. Robinson wrote to prod and provoke, inflame and infuriate, and sway and persuade. With their pointed opinions, his columns reveal that the mature Robinson was a truly American prophet, a civil rights leader in his own right, furious with racial injustice and committed to securing first class citizenship for all. These fascinating columns also depict Robinson as an indebted son, a devoted husband, a tenderhearted father, and a hardworking community leader. Robinson believed that his life after his baseball career was far more important than all of his baseball exploits. Beyond Home Plate shows why he believed this so fervently.

Book excerpt: Reaching Home Plate is strictly geared to help baseball players develop their game and unlock their full potential. The book covers a ton of topics & everything that I've learned in my 15 years of playing baseball. I acknowledge that I'm not an expert in any field whatsoever-- so as much as I share my own personal experiences and lessons, this is where a majority of the book is merely contributions from many college coaches/ players, pro coaches/players, as well as S&C coaches & nutritionists. Readers get a good glimpse into many different takes into what makes an elite baseball player. This is a must read for parents, coaches, and players!

Book excerpt: What happens when you want more in life than just running the bases? You hang out at home plate and stop playing the field. He's sexy and irresistible. I've done my best to ignore the magnetism that flows between us. I don't need complications in my life. I can't get wrapped up in his world, the last thing I need is to get attached to a professional athlete. I don't have time for heartbreak. Something about her pulls me in. I want to get to know her. I want a chance to show her I'm more than just my career, my paycheck. I'm the man for her. I know I am. No matter how much she resists this connection between us. It doesn't change the fact that she's my grand slam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One day during an afternoon at the ball park, author Eric Gray asked his wife, daughter, and friend to identify their favorite game that they had been to. Little did he know, that simple question would soon take on a life of its own. As the question made its way to family members, friends, friends of friends, strangers and beyond, it gave way to a surprising collection of incredibly diverse stories and perspectives. Thus, Bases to Bleachers was born. Much more than your average baseball book, the many special and unique stories shared with readers here, whether they're about watching or playing, either at the Major League level or Little League, represent a wide gamut of experiences. Some entail meeting the stars or attending famous games--and some offered are personal, intimate moments involving family connections and the importance of baseball in people's lives. Unlike most baseball books, this is not a biography, or a discussion of a team, or analysis of a season. Baseball here is a setting in which both astounding feats and some of the most beautifully touching moments in peoples' lives have happened. Whether it's the first game, falling in love at the park, or even a beloved baseball glove that survived World War II, these stories are about more than just baseball. They reflect the joys, triumphs, and disappointments of the human condition, and often illustrate what's truly important in life--those things we hold most dear in our hearts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Black Bruins chronicles the inspirational lives of five African American athletes who faced racial discrimination as teammates at UCLA in the late 1930s. Best known among them was Jackie Robinson, a four‐star athlete for the Bruins who went on to break the color barrier in Major League Baseball and become a leader in the civil rights movement after his retirement. Joining him were Kenny Washington, Woody Strode, Ray Bartlett, and Tom Bradley—the four played starring roles in an era when fewer than a dozen major colleges had black players on their rosters. This rejection of the “gentleman’s agreement,” which kept teams from fielding black players against all-white teams, inspired black Angelinos and the African American press to adopt the teammates as their own. Kenny Washington became the first African American player to sign with an NFL team in the post–World War II era and later became a Los Angeles police officer and actor. Woody Strode, a Bruins football and track star, broke into the NFL with Washington in 1946 as a Los Angeles Ram and went on to act in at least fifty‐seven full-length feature films. Ray Bartlett, a football, basketball, baseball, and track athlete, became the second African American to join the Pasadena Police Department, later donating his time to civic affairs and charity. Tom Bradley, a runner for the Bruins’ track team, spent twenty years fighting racial discrimination in the Los Angeles Police Department before being elected the first black mayor of Los Angeles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have a special niche in the world of big-time college basketball. As late entrants into this world, they fight an uphill battle for on- and off-court relevance, a battle steeped in the historical intersection of sports, race, and culture in this country. Competing on the court in the elite world of America's NCAA Division I college basketball is a daunting task. Competing off the court with the more well-heeled, legacy institutions for funds, top recruits, TV time, and ultimately relevance is decidedly more difficult. Beyond the Backboard: My Unique HBCU Experience in the Shadows of Big-Time College Basketball explores how author Cy Alexander navigated the deep waters of and found success in this environment during a thirty-seven-year career as a Division I HBCU basketball coach, twenty-six of those years as a head coach. Along the way, Alexander learned from and matched wits with coaching luminaries, was a key participant on prestigious NCAA and NABC committees, became a member of an exclusive club of Nike clients that included Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, and Charles Barkley among others, and landed before movers and shakers in politics and trendsetters in entertainment. Beyond the Backboard highlights an exciting career filled with slights, embarrassing defeats, signature victories, personal triumphs and tragedies, and a ton of lessons learned.

Book excerpt: Looking at the cultural responses to death and dying, this collection explores the emotional aspects that death provokes in humans, whether it is disgust, fear, awe, sadness, anger, or even joy. Whereas most studies of death and dying treat the subject from an objective viewpoint, the scholars in this collection recognize their inherent connection with death which allows for a new and more personal form of study. More broadly, this collection suggests a new paradigm in the study of death and dying.
