Book Synopsis The Skipper's Scrapbook by : Thomas Porky McDonald
Download or read book The Skipper's Scrapbook written by Thomas Porky McDonald and published by . This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The re-birth of an idea from almost four decades past fuels this story of a pair of baseball fans who want to collectively chronicle the final season of their longtime home ballpark. In the skipper's scrapbook, poet and writer Thomas Porky McDonald shares the tale of the skipper, a man in his late 40's and The Chief, an octogenarian, who both still share the love of the game of baseball, in a way that is not as prevalent as it once was. Through the pages of a scrapbook based on photos taken as the final season of New York's Shea Stadium plays out, both the skipper and The Chief cover some old ground, while finding out a little more about one another and themselves. It is 2008, and the New York Mets are preparing for the 45th and final season of their old yard, Shea Stadium, when the skipper broaches the idea of a scrapbook to commemorate the entire season. Once before, back in 1969, the two had teamed up to create a similar volume, only then it was The Chief who had thought of the scrapbook idea, with the skipper, just a small boy, enthusiastically along for the ride. Of course, when the 100-1 New York Mets, the perennial lovable losers of the National League since their inaugural season in 1962, went on to win the first ever National League East title, the ensuing League Championship Series and ultimately the World Series, the scrapbook took on added value and meaning. So much so, that the skipper still has it languishing on a dusty old bookshelf when 2008, the final season of Shea, comes along. In the six months that it takes for a season to transpire, and in a most different way than it was done back in 1969, the new scrapbook takes the two men back one more time to what baseball had always meant to both of them and to so many other fans, even as a new breed of overly statistic-minded individuals crept more and more into the mainstream. A story of loyalty, the skipper's scrapbook is a decidedly honest account of what many feel when a treasured old ballpark stands down its final days. Whether you are a genuine baseball aficionado or not, the connection between the two main protagonists should prove variously touching, humorous and familiar.

Book Synopsis Daddy's Scrapbook by : Harriet Kimbro Hamilton
Download or read book Daddy's Scrapbook written by Harriet Kimbro Hamilton and published by In Due Season Spiritual. This book was released on 2015-09-02 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Kimbro was one of Negro League's best on the baseball field, and one of the so-called worst off the field. During his career, he was described as the bad boy of the Negro League, evil, a loner, and was even dubbed the Black Ty Cobb of the League. These perceptions followed him to his death. Afterwards, his daughter was given a tattered sixty-year-old scrapbook that he kept during his life and directed by her mother to do something with it. She did, she wrote Daddy's Scrapbook, Henry Kimbro of the Negro Baseball League, A Daughter's Perspective. This book is a journey through Henry Kimbro's life as a baseball player, a successful African-American businessman, and a father who sent four of his five children through college. Stories are shared about how cruel discrimination during his youth influenced the temperament he was known for as an adult, and how playing in the Cuban League changed his life when he met his Cuban-born wife of 48 years. It also details his post-League years as a father, grandfather, and an inductee into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. This book travels full circle to give insight to who Henry Kimbro was as seen by his daughter who loved and respected him.

Book Synopsis Tinker, Evers, and Chance by : Gil Bogen

Book excerpt: Though they never led the league in double plays turned, and though at times they actively disliked one another, Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, and Frank Chance of the Chicago Cubs have for decades been called one of the greatest, most colorful and most memorable double-play combinations of all time. But their places in the Hall of Fame have been disputed by some who believe their reputation rests with a piece of Franklin P. Adams doggerel. This triple biography of Tinker, Evers, and Chance covers each man's career and life before and after baseball, giving special attention to their relationship on and off the field. The author also considers the trio's induction into the Hall of Fame in 1946 and examines the arguments made on both sides of the debate.
