Others begin calling Gracie by her new identity. The more Gracie disowns being called Lefty, the more she’s teased. She tries to print right-handed, but her numbers look like anything but digits.

Book excerpt: “An intimate portrait of a man whose life off the field was equally as captivating as his unparalleled baseball career.”—Yankees Magazine Born into a small-town California ranching family, Vernon “Lefty” Gomez rode his powerful arm and jocular personality across America to the dugout of the New York Yankees. Lefty baffled hitters with his blazing fastball, establishing himself as the team’s ace. Now, drawing on countless conversations with Lefty, more than three hundred interviews conducted with his family, friends, competitors, and teammates over the course of a decade, and revealing candid photos, documents, and film clips—many never shown publicly—his daughter Vernona Gomez and her award-winning co-author Lawrence Goldstone vividly re-create the life and adventures of the irreverent southpaw. A star-studded romp through America’s most glamorous years, with cameos from Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, George Gershwin, Ernest Hemingway, and Marilyn Monroe, Lefty is at once a long-overdue reminder of a pitcher’s greatness and a heartwarming celebration of a life well-lived. “His story transcends sports and gives us a much-needed lesson in grit and grace.”—Jon Meacham “A loving and beautifully written tribute . . . Be prepared to be transformed, and to discover stars who were stars in an age when that word really meant something.”—Mike Greenberg, co-host of ESPN’s Mike and Mike in the Morning “An amiable portrait of a baseball great—like Yogi Berra, Dizzy Dean and Satchel Paige—whose outsized personality looms even larger than his considerable athletic achievements.”—Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book The Line written by R. Scott Morris and published by Booktango. This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Line" was an artificial barrier more than one hundred miles off the coast of New England that separated American and Canadian fisheries resources. It was established in the 1980s by the International Court in the Hauge, hence the name "the Hauge Line". Nearly from the outset it became a tempting target for American fishermen, but when the Atlantic scallop resource collapsed on the American side of the Line, desperation tempted American fishermen to flirt with ruin or worse to maintain their livelihood. Enter Mike O'Malley, who lost a dragger to unscrupulous culprits eight years before. He had tried to make it ashore, but the sea was in his blood so he would try fishing once more, this time as a Scalloper. At first befriended and then sacrificed by a greedy competitor, Mike risks it all for his crew, his boat and a woman and once more nearly loses his life in the bargain. Sea chases and storms, hard work, betrayal and friendship, fishing is all this and more as related in this emblematic tale of the irrepressible New Bedford Scalloper.
