Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You will laugh, cry, and wonder how it was possible. Braddock Heights is a compilation of stories and emotions. The author experienced life as a child and teen unlike most. When he was eight years old, his only friends were hobos and prostitutes. He battled the Catholic school system as a youth and learned on-the-job training in sex education. As a teen, he defied authority, walked the thin line between right and wrong, and challenged nature. Above it all, he loved life. While serving with the U.S. Army in Germany, he won two championships playing basketball, assisted in promoting German-American relations, traveled throughout Europe writing stories for U.S. military newspapers, and befriended a young penniless Mormon who was hitchhiking across Europe. Continuing his love for “the game,” Barend, at the age of seventy-three, still competes in basketball in state, national, and international tournaments. In 2006, 2007, 2010, and 2011, he was a member of a New York team that won the gold in the New York Empire Games. He is a cancer survivor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the animosity towards the New York Yankees among fans of Major League Baseball and what that revilement says about the game, its fans, and America itself. For anyone wondering what exactly fuels Yankee hatred—and for those who think they know quite well, thank you very much—The Team America Loves to Hate: Why Baseball Fans Despise the New York Yankees is a revealing look at the relationship between the guys in pinstripes and the rest of the baseball world. Ranging beyond the legendary New York-Boston feud, The Team America Loves to Hate taps into the world of Yankee-loathing by listening to fans of all other teams—from the Mets to the Mariners, from Anaheim to Baltimore. There are some surprises—judging by the number of Yankee-hating episodes submitted, Pittsburgh seems to be the most aggrieved city, while the Red Sox are now as much hated as their hated rivals. Along the way, the book offers some serious insights into the Yankees themselves, the country's relationship to New York City before and after 9/11, our long-running love affair with sports, and our decidedly fickle feelings about success.

We've even included a 12-step program that will allow you to get a Yankee fan to stop rooting for that most evil empire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Devil's Snake Curve offers an alternative American history, in which colonialism, jingoism, capitalism, and faith are represented by baseball. Personal and political, it twines Japanese internment camps with the Yankees; Walmart with the Kansas City Royals; and facial hair patterns with militarism, Guantanamo, and the modern security state. An essay, a miscellany, and a passionate unsettling of Josh Ostergaard's relationship with our national pastime, it allows for both the clover of a childhood outfield and the persistence of the game's service to those in power. America and baseball are both hard to love or leave in this, by turns coruscating and heartfelt, debut. Josh Ostergaard holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of Minnesota and an MA in cultural anthropology. He has been an urban anthropologist at the Field Museum and now works at Graywolf Press.

Book excerpt: The New York Yankees. The Boston Red Sox. For a hundred years, no two teams have locked horns as fiercely or as frequently – and no two seasons frame the colossal battle more perfectly than 2003 and 2004. Now, with incredible energy and access, leading sports columnist Mike Vaccaro chronicles the history of the greatest rivalry in sports, and the two stunning American League Championship Series that define a century of baseball. October 17, 2003: A night no Yankees or Red Sox fan will ever forget. At 12:15 am, bottom of the eleventh inning of game seven of the ALCS, New York third-baseman Aaron Boone launches a ball over Yankee Stadium’s left-field fence. The Yankees win their 39th pennant – and send the perennially vexed Boston Red Sox home . . . again . . . suffering another devastating loss to their longtime nemesis. October 20, 2004: A year later, an eerie reprise – but this time things are different. After losing three straight to the Yankees, Boston has charged back to win the next three, forcing a decisive game seven. From the start of the game Boston is in control, and by winning this game they march toward their first World Series victory since 1918. These two explosive years define an extraordinary, epic rivalry – from Mariano Rivera and Roger Clemens to Pedro Martinez and Curt Schilling, Derek Jeter and Aaron Boone to David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez, from nearly a century of Yankee domination to the undisputed breaking of “The Curse.” With the razor-sharp instincts that have made him a top sports journalist, Mike Vaccaro delves into the history of the rollicking rivalry: a vicious collision in 1903 (between the New York Highlanders and Boston Pilgrims) that draws first blood; the era of Babe Ruth and his legendary trade from the Red Sox to the Yankees, ushering in the notorious Curse; the golden age of DiMaggio and Williams; the unstoppable power of Mantle and Maris; the heart and soul of Fisk and Yazstremski versus Pinella and Munson; and the modern era of dueling owners, skyrocketing payrolls, and a renewed rivalry that attracts sell-out crowds even to Yankees-Red Sox spring training games. EMPERORS AND IDIOTS is as lively, fascinating, and raucous as the teams themselves – a must-have volume for any Yankees or Red Sox fan.

Or does she? Even though Chris has been suffering through an early midlife crisis for seven long months, without a job or purpose, he now finds himself living inside this oddly familiar world as though Sophie never existed at all. Through a long and exhausting conversation with an old, witty photo shop clerk, Chris learns that his only way to get Sophie back is to change the scenes inside three random photographs, a mission that will not only get more complicated with the people he is destined to meet, but expose the sores inside of him that brought on his midlife crisis. DEVELOPED! is a soul searching adventure that travels through some of the most mystical yet beautiful places on the planet. Its interwoven with twists and turns, leaving you guessing until the very end if Chris indeed fulfills his mission and ultimately gets Sophie back.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience a century of the pride, power, and pinstripes of the Yankees, Major League Baseball's most successful team, as told through the stories of their hometown newspaper, The New York Times. The New York Yankees are the most storied franchise in baseball history. They consistently draw the largest home and away crowds of any team, command the largest broadcast audiences in baseball, draw the greatest number of on-line followers, and routinely sell more copies of books and magazines than any other professional sports team. The New York Times Story of the Yankees includes more than 350 articles chronicling the team's most famous milestones—as well as the best writing about the ball club. Each article is hand-selected from The Times by the peerless sportswriter Dave Anderson, creating the most complete and compelling history to date about the Yankees. Organized by era, the book covers the biggest stories and events in Yankee history, such as the purchase of Babe Ruth, Roger Maris's 61st home run, and David Cone's perfect game. It chronicles the team's 27 World Series championships and 40 American League pennants; its rivalries with the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox; controversial owners, players, and managers; and more. The articles span the years from 1903—when the team was known as the New York Highlanders—to the present, and include stories from well-known and beloved Times reporters such as Arthur Daley, John Kieran, Leonard Koppett, Red Smith, Tyler Kepner, Ira Berkow, Richard Sandomir, Jim Roach, and George Vecsey. Hundreds of black-and-white photographs throughout capture every era. A foreword by die-hard Yankees fan, Alec Baldwin, completes the celebration of baseball's greatest team.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, Deidre Silva and Jackie Koney figured that men simply knew more about baseball than they did. They tried to reconcile their love of baseball with their second-class fan status, but they finally realized that not getting in a tizzy over the 1952 World Series didn't mean that they weren't "real" fans. As loyal—but not insane or stat-obsessed—spectators, they simply had a different perspective. In It Takes More Than Balls they share their brand of baseball passion with lifelong fans and the "baseball curious" of either gender. Offering anecdotes and gossip from the ballpark, the book also explains the nuances of today's game that will help readers enjoy their next (or first) baseball outing.
