Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifty-eight year Easter Monday baseball rivalry between North Carolina State University and Wake Forest University had a traditional fraternity celebration known as the PIKA Ball, held on the N.C. State campus, that followed it on Monday evening. Told from the viewpoint of sports journalists, players, fans, and PIKA members, the narrative reveals the excitement and developing strategies as the contest traverses several baseball eras. At the height of its popularity, the game drew astonishingly large crowds of spectators, many of whom were absentee government workers, providing the impetus for the North Carolina State Legislature to declare Easter Monday to be a state holiday.

Book excerpt: Here is the story of amateur black athletes, and their teams, who have distinguished themselves as pioneers in the fields of baseball, basketball, football, and track and field. Most of them participated in the intercollegiate leagues formed by such black centers of learning as Atlanta Baptist College, Howard University, Tuskegee Institute, Fisk University, and Morgan, Wiley, and Morris Colleges. A few individuals such as Moses Fleetwood Walker, who at Oberlin was the first Negro to play college varsity baseball, or All-American William Henry Lewis, who played football for both Amherst and Harvard, competed in the white leagues to be confronted by the barriers of prejudice that have haunted the annals of sports in this country and elsewhere. It was from the ranks of these amateurs that were to come the champions, such as Jesse Owens, who would win gold medals for the United States in international competetion at the Olympic Games. --From the book jacket.

Book excerpt: In “a worthy companion to . . . Boys of Summer,” a Pulitzer prize winning journalist “exploits the power of memory and nostalgia with literary grace” (New York Times). From award-winning New York Times columnist Dan Barry comes the beautifully recounted story of the longest game in baseball history—a tale celebrating not only the robust intensity of baseball, but the aspirational ideal epitomized by the hard-fighting players of the minor leagues. On April 18, 1981, a ball game sprang eternal. For eight hours, the night seemed to suspend a town and two teams between their collective pasts and futures, between their collective sorrows and joys—the shivering fans; their wives at home; the umpires; the batboys approaching manhood; the ejected manager, peering through a hole in the backstop; the sportswriters and broadcasters; and the players themselves—two destined for the Hall of Fame (Cal Ripken and Wade Boggs), the few to play only briefly or forgettably in the big leagues, and the many stuck in minor-league purgatory, duty bound and loyal forever to the game. With Bottom of the 33rd, Barry delivers a lyrical meditation on small-town lives, minor-league dreams, and the elements of time and community that conspired one fateful night to produce a baseball game seemingly without end. An unforgettable portrait of ambition and endurance, Bottom of the 33rd is the rare sports book that changes the way we perceive America’s pastime—and America’s past. “Destined to take its place among the classics of baseball literature.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Bottom of the 33rd is chaw-chewing, sunflower-spitting, pine tar proof that too much baseball is never enough.” —Jane Leavy, author of The Last Boy and Sandy Koufax
