My Prison Without Bars: Pete Rose
Emmaus Pennsylvania U.S.A.: Rodale Pr 2004. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Neear-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $24.95. 322 pages. Illustrated with photos. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Tight spine bright pages. Synopsis PETE ROSE HOLDS MORE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL RECORDS THAN ANY OTHER PLAYER IN HISTORY. He stands alone as baseball's hit king having shattered the previously "unbreakable" record held by Ty Cobb. He is a blue-collar hero with the kind of old-fashioned work ethic that turned great talent into legendary accomplishments. Pete Rose is also a lifelong gambler and a sufferer of oppositional defiant disorder. For the past 13 years he has been banned from baseball and barred from his rightful place in the Hall of Fame-- accused of violating MLB's one taboo. Rule 21 states that no one associated with baseball shall ever gamble on the game. The punishment is no less than a permanent barring from baseball and exclusion from the Hall of Fame. Pete Rose has lived in the shadow of his exile. He has denied betting on the game that he loves. He has been shunned by MLB investigated by the IRS and served time for tax charges in the U.S. Penitentiary in Marion Illinois. But he's coming back. Pete Rose has never been forgotten by the fans who loved him throughout his 24-year career. The men he played with have stood by him. In this his first book since his very public fall from grace Pete Rose speaks with great candor about all the outstanding questions that have kept him firmly in the public eye. He discloses what life was like behind bars discusses the turbulent years of his exile and gives a vivid picture of his early life and baseball career. He also confronts his demons tackling the ugly truths about his gambling and his behavior. MY PRISON WITHOUT BARS is Pete Rose's full accounting of his life. No one thinks he's perfect. He has made mistakes-- bigones. And he is finally ready to admit them. Rodale Pr Hardcover

Rose Pete with Roger Kahn
PETE ROSE: MY STORY
New York: Macmillan and Co. 1989. xviii 300 pp. Quarter-bound in red cloth on black boards; lettered in gilt on the spine; headband; illustrated with black and white plates. Light wear on the corners of the dustjacket; price intact; previous owner's name on the front free endpaper. This includes a dropped-in O-Pee-Chee Baseball Card from 1985 featuring Pete Rose as the manager of Reds. It was obvious right from the start that Pete Rose was a remarkable athlete. His nickname Charlie Hustle was well deserved. And that's what he did for the Cincinnati Reds the Philadelphia Phillies and briefly for the Montreal Expos - he hustled. Three World Series rings two Gold Gloves three batting titles one Most Valuable Player Award Rookie of the Year and 17 All-Star games - incredible highlights in an incredible career. Most addictions in this world are forgiven after the apologies and the confessions are given - a little public humiliation and it is back to business as normal. It's curious that Pete Rose has never been forgiven for gambling. Maybe when he's dead and it doesn't matter any more they'll put him in the Hall. The Chapters are: A Hall-of-Fame Promise; To Reach the Unreachable Star; Beginnings; Boyhoods; Up from the Minors; A Rose Grows in Cincinnati; The Thrill of the Plastic Grass; No Longer a Red; Almost a Centerfold; The Gambler; and Fathers and Sons; followed by an index. .

Here is Alec Rose's own story which includes two heroinesLively Lady his boatand Dorothy his wife.He tells it in his own words and writes of his early daysfirst as a rather delicate youngsterand then of his ventures in market gardening and of how he took to the sea.He describes how he came to race single-handed across the Atlantic and how he gradually built up the plans towards his life's ambition of a voyage alone round Cape Horn. Sailing forth the first time on his single-handed circumnavigation of the world he was setback by a chapter of disasters but he doggedly carried on with his plan.He set out once more andafter weathering many galesand nearly being dismastedhis Lively Lady arrived safely in Melbourne.The yacht suffered damage again in the storms of the Southern Oceanso he turned into New Zealand for repairs before taking on the Horn itself.He goes on to tell of his voyage home from the Horn; when as day succeeded day he had been on his own at sea for five whole months since leaving New Zealandand 318 days at sea since leaving Portsmouth.He concludes with the enthusiastic and joyful welcome at Portsmouthand then in London where he and Dorothy went to lunch at Buckingham Palace and the Queen knighted him only a few days after his safe return.It is almost a fairy story of a man who inherited no financial wealth but achieved his life's ambition through his own effortswith no sponsorshipand became an inspiration to millions of people.Backing up Sir Alec's personal story comes Dorothy Rose's amusing description of life in their Southsea house and shop when Alec was away and of his knighthood on his return.Radio Officer Robertswho first heard the voice of Alec Rose as Lively Lady approached the Horn contributes a chapter.The region of the Horn is described by Michael Mason; and previous small craft voyages round the world and in the Roaring Forties are recorded by Erroll Bruce.The naval architect D. Phillips-Birt writes of the boat herself and "Blondie" Haslerwho designed the self-steering geardescribes how this works. 'My Lively Lady' is a story of adventure and determination written in Sir Alec's own direct and unassuming style which makes his experiences all the more vivid.

Standing in front of a multitude of media members after his high school senior season Garnett became the first player in two decades to declare himself eligible for the NBA Draft straight out of high school. His decision - and success in the NBA - led other high school basketall players to declare themselves eligible for the draft in the following years. But Garnett has not forgotten his past. He also works hard to help others who have not been as fortunate. Garnett has given both time and money to those in need throughout his career without expecting anything in return. His generosity was recognized in the summer of 2006 when he was named the recipient of the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award. He also does a lot of charitable work in private but his $1.2 million donation to aid the Hurricane Katrina relief effort and the work of his 4XL Foundation have been hard to keep quiet. " Index.
