Download or read book My Giants written by Russ Hodges and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1963, the year Russ Hodges started his fifteenth season as the voice of the Giants, MY GIANTS is the story of the man who has lived and died with the team through years that have been triumphant, sometimes disappointing, but never, never dull. “I don’t believe it—I do not believe it” This was Hodges’ cry over the air as Bobby Thomson hit the home run that gave the Giants the 1951 pennant. He was there, too, when Willie Mays made his miracle catch in the 1954 World Series and all through the breathtaking days of the 1962 season when the San Francisco Giants came from far behind to win the play-offs with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the pennant. He has known intimately all the Giant greats of modern times and has opinions and anecdotes, both sad and funny, of Stoneham, Durocher, Rigney, Dark, Stanky, Sal Maglie, Dusty Rhodes, Pierce, Mays, Cepeda, and many more. He was one of the first to know that the Giants would make their historic move from New York to San Francisco, and his locker-room program after their last game at the Polo Grounds has become a broadcast classic. Russ Hodges started his broadcasting career as a singer and disc jockey, but soon found that sportscasting was what he liked best and did best. His voice became known to sports fans all over America. In MY GIANTS he writes of all these sports, of his relations with sponsors, agencies, other announcers, of his great moments and his bloops, in more than thirty years of broadcasting. But first and last, this is the story of the Giants, for their story is very much the story of Russ Hodges. Co-written by Al Hirshberg, a Boston-based sportswriter, co-author of several bestselling biographies, author of non-fiction, and stories and articles for a wide variety of magazines.

Book Synopsis New York Sports by : Stephen Norwood
Download or read book New York Sports written by Stephen Norwood and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York has long been both America’s leading cultural center and its sports capital, with far more championship teams, intracity World Series, and major prizefights than any other city. Pro football’s “Greatest Game Ever Played” took place in New York, along with what was arguably history’s most significant boxing match, the 1938 title bout between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling. As the nation’s most crowded city, basketball proved to be an ideal sport, and for many years it was the site of the country’s most prestigious college basketball tournament. New York boasts storied stadiums, arenas, and gymnasiums and is the home of one of the world’s two leading marathons as well as the Belmont Stakes, the third event in horse racing’s Triple Crown. New York sportswriters also wield national influence and have done much to connect sports to larger social and cultural issues, and the vitality and distinctiveness of New York’s street games, its ethnic institutions, and its sports-centered restaurants and drinking establishments all contribute to the city’s uniqueness. New York Sports collects the work of fourteen leading sport historians, providing new insight into the social and cultural history of America’s major metropolis and of the United States. These writers address the topics of changing conceptions of manhood and violence, leisure and social class, urban night life and entertainment, women and athletics, ethnicity and assimilation, and more.

Book excerpt: There are very few major personalities in the world of sports who have so much to say about our National Pastime. And even fewer who are as well respected as Bill White. Bill White, who's now in his mid 70s, was an All-Star first baseman for many years with the New York Giants, St.Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies before launching a stellar broadcasting career with the New York Yankees for 18 years. He left the broadcast booth to become the President of the National League for five years. A true pioneer as an African-American athlete, sportscaster, and top baseball executive, White has written his long-awaited autobiography in which he will be candid, open, and as always, most forthcoming about his life in baseball. Along the way, White shares never-before-told stories about his long working relationship with Phil Rizzutto, insights on George Steinbrenner, Barry Bonds, Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson, Bob Gibson, Bart Giamatti, Fay Vincent, and scores of other top baseball names and Hall of Famers. Best of all, White built his career on being outspoken, and the years fortunately have not mellowed him. Uppity is a baseball memoir that baseball fans everywhere will be buzzing about.
Download or read book The Briefcase written by Hiromi Kawakami and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tsukiko, thirty–eight, works in an office and lives alone. One night, she happens to meet one of her former high school teachers, "Sensei" in a local bar. Tsukiko had only ever called him "Sensei" ("Teacher"). He is thirty years her senior, retired, and presumably a widower. Their relationship–traced by Kawakami's gentle hints at the changing seasons–develops from a perfunctory acknowledgment of each other as they eat and drink alone at the bar, to an enjoyable sense of companionship, and finally into a deeply sentimental love affair. As Tsukiko and Sensei grow to know and love one another, time's passing comes across through the seasons and the food and beverages they consume together. From warm sake to chilled beer, from the buds on the trees to the blooming of the cherry blossoms, the reader is enveloped by a keen sense of pathos and both characters' keen loneliness.
