Maz and the '60 Bucs: When Pittsburgh And Its Pirates Went All The Way
James P. Obrien - Publishing. Fine with no dust jacket. 1993. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 0916114120 . This specific hardback book is in fine condition with very minimal wear and a hard board cover that has sharp edges and corners and a tight binding. There is no dust jacket. We package all books in custom cardboard book boxes for shipment and ship daily with tracking numbers.; "I was in Mr. Daniels' classroom. School had been dismissed for the afternoon but a few buddies and I stayed back to watch the end of the seventh game of the 1960 World Series between the powerful New York Yankees and the persistent Pittsburgh Pirates. The Yanks were perennial World Series champs and the Pirates had not won it all since 1925 a 35 year drought. With one smooth swing in the bottom of the ninth inning on that sunny Ocotber afternoon Bill Mazeroski struck the most important homerun in World Series history. Maz's shot over the left field wall as the great Yogi Berra watched helplessly with his back toward home plate will be forever etched in the minds of every Pirate fan no matter what age.Jim O'Brien has compiled a retrospective of that memorable World Series as well as a reflection of the key players and personalities associated with that 1960 team. At times the reflective pieces are redundant but in the main they are full of emotion and powerful feelings about the team and the times. I have always believed that the 1960 World Series marked the beginning of the end of purity in American sports. Soon afterwards big money and lack of team loyalty became the norm with the advent of free agency. I strongly urge anyone who enjoys baseball or sports to read this book. O'Brien has captured the times the spirit and the excitement of that Powerful Moment in Time."; 9.10 X 6.10 X 1.50 inches; 512 pages . James P. Obrien - Publishing hardcover

The majority of them are young men and they have accomplished a great deal in a short time. They have brought honor and joy to Pittsburgh and the surrounding tri-state area as well as the Steeler Nation everywhere. Picture the smiling faces of Jerome Bettis Hines Ward Ben Roethlisberger and Bill Cowher for starters as well as the Rooney family that founded the franchise and still directs the operation. They symbolize the Steelers of this decade. They have feel-good stories to share with us. We can learn valuable lessons from their life experiences and the way they go about their work. They play and look after the Steelers with a special passion. They have magic about them like so much sprinkle dust-black and gold in color of course-that sparks us all. The story of the Steelers who won Super Bowl XL is incredible. It was too hokey for Hollywood. As Bettis known affectionately as "The Bus" said of his final season and the journey to his hometown of Detroit "If anyone turned in a script like this it would get turned back. It was too unbelievable." This is a team that people genuinely like. There are no jerks in the ranks to ruin the picture.

15 Autograph & Typed Letters signed all to Jack Robson often with carbons of Robson's letters
vp 1973. 4to. Fine with corrections with envelopes on occasion. 4to. Jack O'Connor served as the Shooting Editor of Outdoor Life for 31 years and is considered one of the great hunting and gun writers of the twentieth century. Opinionated and witty his personality shines through in this collection of letters. On animal classification: "Between us girls I think the American taxonomists have gone hog wild on sub-species. I think the British are much smarter.They say that all caribou are one species and they have damn few sub-species." On an acquaintances and associates: "As I remember him he was a little guy dark and strictly a bastard"; "Bill Steigers is likewise a big-bore nut playing with a large bullet or gazing at a big hole in the end of a barrel gives him a deep and voluptuous satisfaction often causing tumescence in his male organ"; "From all I can tell this Earl Etter is a real vicious bastard fat-headed quarrelsome and mean. One thing I know for certain is that he is an ignoramus"; "This Herter is quite a guy. I think he's at least half nuts maybe more. He has more misinformation in his books than the Encyclopedia Britannica has information." On the Hotel Edison: "I have never set foot in the Hotel Edison but I have heard it was a dump." On a failed bear-hunting expedition: "Our companions were two young Englishmen.Both had very attractive wives.We really had a grand time but those guys were the spookiest bear hunters I have ever seen in my life. They missed two good trophy grizzlies--one at 30 yards and one at 110 yards--and a very good black bear at about 50 yards. In all cases the bears were standing." On the Civil War: "I am a Civil War buff.One of these days I am going to do an article that will make a lot of Southerners scream like catamounts. The thesis of the piece will be that Lee was an overrated general who made his reputation on a bunch of fiddle-fotted sic and gutless Union generals." On family histories: "My uncle Bill O'Connor got a girl knocked up when he was a senior in law school in California and took it on the lam.My mothers' people were Kentuckians but they were not planters--just prosperous farmers." On criticism: "Bill Rae has got hundreds of these nut letters.I always tell these creeps that if they don't like to read stories about killing birds and animals and catching fish they should read something besides Outdoor Life Field & Stream and Sports Afield because these magazines are about shooting animals and birds and catching fish" Ellen Enzler Herring Jack O'Connor: Catalogue of Letters 5 6 34 71 86 111 138 142 148 176 184 200 252 261 & 263 unknown

In all cases the bears were standing."<br/><br/>On the Civil War: "I am a Civil War buff.One of these days I am going to do an article that will make a lot of Southerners scream like catamounts.
