Book excerpt: Baseball's honor rolls are filled with legendary deeds of batting prowess. Throughout history, crowds have risen to cheer the majestic trajectory of a white sphere "crushed" by the likes of Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, and Barry Bonds. But, what about the players who repeatedly produced little more than squibbers to third base, infield pop-ups, or ego-bruising strikeouts? What could possibly be their values to a baseball club? Plenty. Al Pepper reveals the unique, offbeat, and remarkable stories of fifty of these men in Mendoza's Heroes. Using eye-opening statistics, interviews with players, and anecdotal biographies, Pepper also presents these players in context of their time. In effect, the book serves as a rollicking tour of baseball history as well. The Foreword is written by ex-big leaguer Mike Stenhouse.

Book Synopsis Fifty Years at the Sibyl's Heels by : Nicholas Horsfall
Download or read book Fifty Years at the Sibyl's Heels written by Nicholas Horsfall and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicholas Horsfall was one of the most recognizable and influential Latinists of his generation. His main legacy is his work on Virgil and the five erudite commentaries on the Aeneid, but he was also a prolific writer of papers, both Virgilian and non-Virgilian. A number of Horsfall's papers, including the important 'Camilla', are translated in this volume for the first time. Stretching from 1971 to 2015, the papers are drawn from his entire output demonstrating his unparalleled ability to connect Roman poetry with history, antiquarianism, and Realien. While showcasing his unique analysis of Virgil, it also highlights Horsfall's work as both a Latinist and a Romanist, illuminating the coherence in his approach. This volume includes many Virgilian papers that have become classics--on Aeneas the colonist, and on the Aeneas-legend, for example. This does not detract from the value of the non-Virgilian papers, many of which--on the collegium poetarum, and on discussions of reading and libraries at Rome, for example--have become standard treatments of their subjects. Throughout all these works there is an astonishing degree of connection, with glimpses in many papers of his other research interests. 'Nicholas Horsfall needs to be approached through his short papers, typically fresh, innovative and stimulating, and he has been so productive that nobody can claim to have had a full view of his scholarship. When it comes to placing a literary text in the frames offered by material culture, documents, landscapes, history, and by religious, legal, military and antiquarian studies, he was unrivalled.' Professor Alessandro Barchiesi, Professor of Classics, New York University.

Book excerpt: Historians of popular culture have recently been addressing the role of myth, and now it is time that social historians of sport also examined it. The contributors to this collection of essays explore the symbolic meanings that have been attached to sport in Europe by considering some of the mythic heroes who have dominated the sporting landscapes of their own countries. The ambition is to understand what these icons stood for in the eyes of those who watched or read about these vessels into which poured all manner of gender, class and patriotic expectations.
