Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one changed the landscape of college baseball like Ron Fraser. The sport enjoyed little national interest until Fraser arrived at the University of Miami in 1963 and built his program into an entertainment empire and a national champion. Nationally televised college baseball games on ESPN can be traced back to Fraser’s lobbying work in the network’s early days. His efforts resulted in coverage growth and paved the way to making the College World Series one of ESPN’s marquee events. He created zany, one‑of‑a‑kind promotions, such as an open-heart surgery for one “lucky” fan (redeemable in a five‑year window) and the first mascot devoted to a college baseball team (the Miami Maniac). Aimed at gaining attention for his program and putting fans in the seats, his innovations achieved desired results on both fronts. Miami Hurricanes baseball became widely popular as the sport’s main draw in South Florida long before Major League Baseball expanded to the market full time. Fraser’s biggest impact was on the field. Before the Miami Hurricanes football program became a household name, he put the school’s athletics program on the map by winning its first national championship. Fraser inherited a floundering baseball program that had no equipment or following and could pay him only as a part-time employee; he built that program into a perennial national power that made regular appearances at the College World Series. Along the way, he developed countless players into All‑Americans, MLB Draft picks, and eventual Major Leaguers. While some coaches have matched his wins and championships, none compare to his trailblazing and impact on an entire sport. David Brauer traces the roots of modern-day college baseball’s success to Fraser’s work at Miami. The Wizard of College Baseball is an inspirational and entertaining reflection on how one man forever changed college baseball—accelerating the sport’s growth and setting a new standard for modern college baseball well ahead of his time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1950, Omaha's Rosenblatt Stadium (formerly Municipal Stadium) has hosted the nation's top college baseball programs in the College World Series. Baseball fans from every corner of the country have taken the annual "Road to Omaha" and packed the seats to see championship baseball at its best. In 1954 thousands saw Jim Ehrler of Texas toss the tourney's first no-hitter en route to the Longhorns winning back-to-back CWS championships. Fans at the 1970 tournament saw Southern Cal defeat Florida State in the midst of their unmatched five-year championship run. In 1996 Rosenblatt's faithful took in the dramatic bottom-of-the-ninth, two-out, two-run homer by Louisiana State's Warren Morris, giving his team a 9-8 upset victory over powerhouse Miami.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rival Pitchers: A Story of College Baseball Say, if you speak uncle again, I'll land you one on the jaw, and that'll keep you quiet for a while. The words, in spite of their aggressive ness, were good-natured enough, and were spoken with a smile. Ford Fenton, who seldom took part in any conversation about college sports or frolics without mentioning his relative, who had been a well-known coach at Randall, looked first surprised, then hurt, but as he saw that the sympathies of his companion freshmen were with Langridge, he concluded to make the best of it.

Hansen was nicknamed Squat by his teammates on the University of Michigan baseball team because he never played, but it didn't matter to him, he was a Michigan Man just the same, and no one could take that away with a stupid nickname. Squat never had an easy time with baseball, school, or girls, and his senior year didn't look to be much different. After arriving at school in the fall he finds out that his coach has turned in an untimely resignation, and his best friend, Benny, is one more collision with the outfield fence away from permanent brain damage. Then, to make matters worse, he makes a drunken late night phone call to his ex-girlfriend, and still love of his life, Beth. As his senior year goes on, Squat begins to realize his problems with baseball won't last much longer, and it scares him to death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardy has always been a guy on the move. He went from playing corkball in North St. Louis alleys, to being a shortstop at age 10, and running for senior class president in high school. But that wouldn't hold a candle to the thrills that he'd have his first year of college, where, between classes, he played thrilling baseball, while revving up to hit the majors. On off nights, Hardy found himself in shenanigan after shenanigan: wrestling with the troublemakers, a drunken night in the woods, orchestrating a bra-throwing party, gulping fried chicken at mom and pop spots on the road, and chasing girls - one, a mysterious green-eyed Strawberry Queen, and the other, a high school beauty, who would become a keeper. Along the way, he'd play an ill-timed game of chicken with a train, build a close relationship with an unpredictable "Coach," play a game of baseball with a convicted killer, wind up with a carful of musicians blasting out "When the Saints Go Marching In" on special "instruments," go eye-to-eye with an alligator, and be brought to his knees by a giant ball of tobacco. The story gets tense during the tight, final Conference Game; and oh yes, you'll meet Hardy's hapless friends dubbed "The Animals," and many best friends, including, Big Judy, Doc and the "Itch." Yes, it was shenanigan, after shenanigan, but oh my, it was a very good year...

Download or read book Legendary Locals of Greater Miami written by Howard Kleinberg and Arva Moore Parks and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guided by a visionary widow named Julia Tuttle, the city of Miami truly came into being in 1896 and has not stopped growing. Halfway through the last century, the apparent domination of land, population, and business by whites and--for decades--repressed African Americans became tested and balanced by the victims of the 1959 Cuban Revolution. Beyond that, hundreds of thousands of others from Spanish-speaking lands came to create what truly is an international metropolis. The chapters of Miami's existence are delineated by those legendary locals who came earliest; those who were the pioneers; those who established businesses that endured; those who were the builders and visionaries; those who served in politics; those who came from other places; those who created, built, and extended educational and arts opportunities; and those who embraced the placid environment and natural beauty of the "Magic City."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little Casey loves baseball. Even before the child was born, his father knew that the kid was going to be a baseball player and prepared a nursery theme of baby blue walls with baseball angels in the form of porcelain dolls, framed pictures, and the new Big Head poster of Cal Ripken Jr.; his Dad's favorite Major League player on the wall. Two years later, Casey loves baseball and everyone realizes it. He knows exactly what to do with that little plastic bat and ball his father so anxiously waited to get for him. Every night, when Casey's father comes home from work, it's "Game Time!" They play ball in the living room, watch their favorite big league team on the big screen with surround sound for a better "learning experience," with a side order of Baseball Tonight on ESPN. Finally, the two finish the night talking about baseball and dad hopefully believing that his little Casey will dream of making the big play or hitting the big home run; Casey at the plate...right? Parents, do you know what to do next? "In Pursuit of the College Baseball Scholarship" is a book of wisdom and insight on how to pursue a college baseball scholarship from the perspective of a coach who has been there and done it well.
