Squires Jim
Headless Horsemen: A Tale of Chemical Colts Subprime Sales Agents and the Last Kentucky Derby on Steroids
Times Books 2009. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 253 pages. Illustrated. A pointed and irreverent critique of thoroughbred racing's breakdown by a prominent journalist turned horse breeder Jim Squires was in trouble. He had gone from one business seemingly intent on committing suicide to another both led over the cliff by visionless leaders. First it was the newspaper bean-counters' blind adherence to the demands of Wall Street. Then in horse racing it was a clannish group called the Dinnies refusing to share power and unable to see that vast overproduction and unbridled greed had created a subprime-like bubble in the market. Overpriced animals of dubious quality and drug-enhanced performance on the track were undermining the integrity of competition and ultimately the very breed itself. With its economic model broken its tawdry sales practices under attack and its public image in tatters after a series of televised fatal breakdowns by horses in famous races the sport was overdue for a reckoning. Headless Horsemen is Squires's comic but poignant critique of what is happening to the sport and the animals he loves as he and a small group of unlikely heroes agitate for a return to fair dealing. For anyone who cares about the soul and survival of horse racing this book is an impassioned call to arms. Times Books Hardcover

If I want something bad enough I feel I'm gonna get there." Michael Phelps is one of the greatest competitors the world has ever seen. From teen sensation in Sydney to bona fide phenom in Athens he is now -- after the Beijing Games -- a living Olympic legend. With an unprecedented eight gold medals and world-record times in seven events his performance at the 2008 Games set a new standard for success. He ranks among the most elite athletes in the world and is both an inspiration and a role model to millions. The incredible focus he exhibits in practice and during competition propels him forward to his unrivaled excellence. In No Limits Michael Phelps reveals the secrets to his remarkable success from his training regimen to his mental preparation and finally to his performance in the pool. Behind Phelps's tally of Olympic gold medals lies a consistent approach to competition a determination to win and a straightforward passion for his sport. Like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods he has learned to filter out distractions and deliver stellar performance under pressure. The road has not always been easy; from the very beginning Phelps had to overcome physical setbacks and emotional trials. When he was younger he was diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder; other kids bullied him; even a teacher said he would never be successful. Later he had to work through injuries that jeopardized his career. In this book Phelps talks for the first time about how he has overcome these and other challenges - about how to develop the mental attitude needed to persevere not just in athletic competition but in life. His success is imbued with the perspective of overcoming the obstacles that come your way and believing in yourself no matter the odds. No Limits explores the hard work commitment and sacrifice that go into reaching any goal. Whether it is on the starting block during an Olympic swim meet or in the weight room on a typical day Phelps's dedication has led him to unparalleled excellence. Filled with anecdotes from family members friends teammates and his coach No Limits gives a behind-the-scenes look at the makings of a real champion. One of Phelps's mottos is "Performance Is Reality" and it typifies his attitude toward achieving his goals. It's easy to get bogged down by doubt or to lose focus when a challenge seems out of reach but Phelps believes that you can accomplish anything if you fully commit yourself to it. Using the eight final swims of the Beijing Olympics as a model No Limits is a step-by-step guide to realizing one's dream. Free Press Hardcover

Stanton Tom
Hank Aaron and the Home Run That Changed America
William Morrow & Co 2004. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Like-new condition. Appears unread. Stated First Edition. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. 249 pages. Illustrated. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Baseball has witnessed more than 125000 major-league home runs. Many have altered the outcomes of games and some swatted into the stands on dramatic last swings have decided pennants and won reputations. But no home run has played a more significant role in influencing American society than Hank Aaron's 715th. Aaron's historic blast -- and the yearlong quest leading up to it -- not only shook baseball but the world at large. It exposed prejudice energized a flagging civil rights movement inspired a generation of children and also called forth the dark demons that haunted Aaron's every step and turned what should have been a joyous pursuit into a hellish nightmare. In Hank Aaron and the Home Run That Changed America Tom Stanton author of the prize-winning The Final Season penetrates the burnished myth of Aaron's chase and uncovers the compelling story behind the most consequential athletic achievement of the past fifty years. The tale takes place during tumultuous times the years of 1973 and 1974 as the Watergate scandal unfolds and the Vietnam War sputters to an end. It's the era of Ali and Archie Bunker of Wounded Knee and Patty Hearst of Roe v. Wade and Billie Jean King versus Bobby Riggs of oil shortages and of a nation struggling with deep divisions. At the center of the social storm stands a private dignified man -- Hank Aaron -- who rises to accept the mantle of his recently deceased idol Jackie Robinson and becomes emboldened by the purpose of his mission: to break the record of sport's greatest legend Babe Ruth not only for himself but for the advancement of all African Americans and for the good of his country. Along the way Aaron endures bigots zealous fans hate mail FBI investigations bodyguards the ambivalence of his adopted hometown a batting slump unlike any other the sniping comments of Babe Ruth's widow the slights of baseball's commissioner a string of controversies and constant threats to his and his children's lives. The story features a rich cast of characters: a friend and sometime rival Willie Mays who must come to terms with the end of his own career; Aaron's hard-as-iron protector manager Eddie Mathews; a young self-assured occasionally cocky prot�g� Dusty Baker; a future president Jimmy Carter; a preacher of rising prominence the Reverend Jesse Jackson; stars like Willie Stargell and Tom Seaver; and a roster of equally colorful lesser-known peers. But at the heart of the narrative is Hank Aaron a class player who refused to preen at home plate or strut shamelessly around the bases even as he reached the pinnacle of the national pastime. Three decades later Tom Stanton brings to life on these pages the elusive spirit of an American hero. William Morrow & Co Hardcover

Halberstam David
Everything They Had: Sports Writing from David Halberstam
Hyperion Books 2008. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Like-new book. Appears unread. Stated First Edition. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 401 pages. "Sometimes sports mirrors society sometimes it allows us to understand the larger society a little better. But mostly it is a world of entertainment of talented and driven young men and women who do certain things with both skill and passion." --David Halberstam David Halberstam was a distinguished journalist and historian of American politics. He was also a sports writer. Everything They Had brings together for the first time his articles from newspapers and magazines a wide-ranging collection edited by Glenn Stout selected over the full scope of Halberstam's five decades as one of America's most honored journalists. These are dazzling portraits of some of the most compelling sports figures of our era the superstars of popular sports like basketball football and baseball but also fishing soccer and rowing and the amateur athletes who play for the love of the game. In "My Dinner with Theodore" Halberstam recounts his long anticipated--and unforgettable--meeting with Red Sox legend Ted Williams. Against the backdrop of 1960s Nashville he beautifully recounts a lifelong love of football in "How I Fell in Love with the NFL." And "Men Without Women" set on a fishing expedition in Patagonia is more than a hunt for giant brown trout--it is a story of fishing friendship and fellowship. These and many more stories exemplify the breadth and depth of David Halberstam's devotion to diverse sports and his respect and fascination for the men and women who play them so well. The result is an intimate and personal collection that reveals the issues and the ideals David Halberstam cared about--racial equality friendship loyalty and character--and creates a vivid and unforgettable portrait of the author himself. Everything They Had takes its rightful place alongside Halberstam's bestselling sports titles which include The Breaks of the Game The Amateurs Summer of '49 and The Education of a Coach.

The definitive biography of the baseball legend who broke Babe Ruth's single-season home-run record the natural way and withstood a firestorm of media criticism to become one of his era's preeminent players. ROGER MARIS may be the greatest ballplayer no one really knows. In 1961 the soft-spoken man from the frozen plains of North Dakota enjoyed one of the most amazing seasons in baseball history when he outslugged his teammate Mickey Mantle to become the game's natural home-run king. It was Mantle himself who said "Roger was as good a man and as good a ballplayer as there ever was." Yet Maris was vilified by fans and the press and has never received his due from biographers until now. Tom Clavin and Danny Peary trace the dramatic arc of Maris's life from his boyhood in Fargo through his early pro career in the Cleveland Indians farm program to his World Series championship years in New York and beyond. At the center is the exciting story of the 1961 season and the ordeal Maris endured as an outsider in Yankee pinstripes unloved by fans who compared him unfavorably to their heroes Ruth and Mantle relentlessly attacked by an aggressive press corps who found him cold and inaccessible and treated miserably by the organization. After the tremendous challenge of breaking Ruth's record was behind him Maris ultimately regained his love of baseball as a member of the world champion St. Louis Cardinals. And over time he gained redemption in the eyes of the Yankee faithful. With research drawn from more than 130 interviews with Maris's teammates opponents family and friends as well as 16 pages of photos some of which have never before been seen this timely and poignant biography sheds light on an iconic figure from baseball's golden era and establishes the importance of his role in the game's history.

More Heart And Soul: Character of Welsh Rugby
United Kingdom: Univ of Wales Pr 1999. Book. Near-Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Nice clean condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Green boards with gilt lettering clean and bright. Tight spine bright pages. NO writing or tears inside book. 242 pages. Illustrated. Heart and Soul `the character of Welsh rugby' published October 1998 was defined in terms of the relationship between players and supporters. Individual authors evoked the memory of favourite players and went on to trace the differing ways in which the careers of their heroes had shaped their own perception of the game and their sense of Wales. In this new volume similar themes will be investigated. Again the chosen players are favourites men who played the game delightfully and effectively whilst at the same time exuding a degree of authority and confidence that inspired a grateful nation. Moreover many of the subjects were to have second careers when their playing days were over as administrators coaches or pundits they still played a part in moulding the rugby culture of Wales. Once again all this will be put in context: historians Gareth Williams and Dai Smith trace the story of Welsh rugby since the publication in 1981 of their excellent centenial volume Fields of Praise whilst Peter Stead and Huw Richards evaluate the state of the game in Wales at the end of the millennium.

Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 353 pages. ESPN's beloved Sports Guy replays the years leading up to the Boston Red Sox historic championship season and says goodbye to a lifetime of suffering. At least for now. "The Red Sox won the World Series." To Citizen No. 1 of Red Sox Nation those seven words meant "No more '1918' chants. No more smug glances from Yankee fans. No more worrying about living an entire life -- that's 80 years followed by death without seeing the Red Sox win a Series." But once he was able to type those life-changing words Bill Simmons decided to look back at his Sports Guy columns for the last five years to find out how the miracle came to pass. And that's where the trouble began. Why didn't he see it coming Why didn't it happen sooner What was the key deal the lucky move the funny bounce the sign from above that he failed to spot Pretty soon The Sports Guy was second-guessing himself rewriting history sniping at his own past predictions pounding the table -- that's what sports guys do right And doing so he let himself get sidetracked by the suffering of the Boston Bruins frustrated by the false promise of the Celtics -- and driven into a state of ecstasy by the dynastic New England Patriots. The result is Now I Can Die in Peace a hilarious and fresh new look at some of the best sportswriting in America with sharp critical commentary and fresh insights from the guy who wrote it in the first place.

Tight spine bright pages. 279 pages Synopsis Three Nights in August captures the strategic and emotional complexities of baseball's quintessential form the three-game series. As the St. Louis Cardinals battle their archrival Chicago Cubs we watch from the dugout through the eyes of legendary manager Tony La Russa considered by many to be the shrewdest mind in the game today. In his twenty-seven years of managing La Russa has been named Manager of the Year a record-making five times and now stands as the third-winningest baseball manager of all time. A great leader he's built his success on the conviction that ball games are won not only by the numbers but also by the hearts and minds of those who play. Drawing on unprecedented access to a major league manager and his team Buzz Bissinger brings a revelatory intimacy to baseball and offers some surprising observations. Bissinger also furthers the debate on major league managerial style and strategy in his provocative new afterword. Houghton Mifflin Hardcover

Golenbock Peter
The Forever Boys: The Bittersweet World of Major League Baseball As Seen Through the Eyes of the Men Who Played One More Time
Birch Lane Press 1992. Book. Near-Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-fine condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $19.95. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. 391 pages. Illustrated throughout with photos. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. From Publishers Weekly Golenbock displayed his talent for oral history in his books on the Brooklyn Dodgers Bums and New York Yankees Dynasty . Here he profiles the first year of the Senior Baseball League a competitive league of former professional players over age 35. Golenbock who followed the pennant-winning St. Petersburg Pelicans through tryouts winning and losing streaks injuries and bus rides criss-crossing Florida conveys vivid portraits of individuals determined to extend their declining but still formidable talents. Some like St. Pete manager Bobby Tolan and his pitching coach Dock Ellis were controversial stars in the major leagues. All describe the family hardships organizational politics racism and personal disillusionment that accompany the joy of playing the game. Briskly written and entertaining the book also records perhaps for the first time a well-known player tradition: the hilariously biased proceedings of a ``kangaroo court''--a cherished opportunity to hound teammates about misplays on the field gluttonous eating habits or anything else that amuses the court ``judges''--an experience not to be missed.

Watterson John Sayle
The Games Presidents Play: Sports And the Presidency
Baltimore Maryland U.S.A.: Johns Hopkins Univ Pr 2006. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Like-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. 402 pages. Illustrated. NO writing marks or tears inside book. The Games Presidents Play provides a new way to view the American presidency. Looking at the athletic strengths feats and shortcomings of our presidents John Sayle Watterson explores not only their health physical attributes personalities and sports IQs but also the increasing trend of Americans in the past century to equate sporting achievements with courage manliness and political competence. The author of College Football begins with George Washington whose athleticism contributed to his success on the battlefield and may well have contributed to the birth of the republic. He moves seamlessly into the nineteenth century when for presidents like Jackson Lincoln and Cleveland frontier sports were part of their formative years. With the twentieth-century presidents -- most notably the hyperactive and headline-grabbing Theodore Roosevelt -- Watterson shows how the growth of mass media and the improved means of transportation transformed presidential sports into both a form of recreation and a means of establishing a positive self-image. Modern presidents have used sports with varying degrees of success. Herbert Hoover fled Washington on weekends to the trout pools of Camp Rapidan in the Blue Ridge to escape relentless pressures and public criticism during the Great Depression. Franklin Roosevelt demonstrated remarkable physical endurance in his campaign to restore his ravaged body from polio. An obsessive love affair with golf became an issue for Dwight Eisenhower in his campaign for reelection in 1956. Richard Nixon a former third-string college football lineman placed calls to Coach George Allen of the Washington Redskins once suggesting a trick play in a big game. From the opening pitch of the baseball season to presenting awards to Olympic champions our sports culture asks the president to play an increasingly active role. Sports Watterson argues open a window into the presidency shedding new light on presidential behavior and offering new perspectives on the office and the sporting men -- and women -- who have and will occupy it.

Reilly Rick
The Life of Reilly: The Best of Sports Illustrated's Rick Reilly
Total Sports Publishing 2000. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Very-nice clean condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 272 pages. Witty irreverent opinionated honest laugh-out-loud funny -- these are just a few of the adjectives that have been used to describe the writing of Rick Reilly the six-time National Sportswriter of the Year who has entertained the readers of Sports Illustrated for 15 years with his unique perspective on the world of sports and life in general. Now in The Life of Reilly Rick has selected 66 of his finest stories to create a collection that is sure to amuse inform and provoke sports fans and non-fans alike. The book is organized around Reilly's seven Rs: Rants Raves Reality Roots Rough Wrecks and Royalty. His subjects range from the sublime -- UCLA coach John Wooden one of sports' most honorable men -- to the ridiculous -- Reilly's terrifying trip aboard an F-14D Tomcat fighter -- and also include a healthy dose of opinion on everything from the ubiquity of the Nike symbol to the overpaid brats we call professional athletes these days. There are features on sports greats rants against high-profile athletic programs tales of golfing glory in and out of the spotlight reflections on enduring values and the true meaning of sacrifice and personal stories about the Reilly family's trials and tribulations. Evident throughout is Reilly's trademark humor on ample display in his story of playing golf with President Clinton whom he finds himself with horror calling "Pard" his discussion of cheerleading mania "Cheerleaders from all over tried to write me hate mail but cheerleader hate mail is not terribly scary. They'd write 'I hope you die!' and put a little heart over the 'i.'" and his experience as the coach of a quirky Little League team his players are more concerned with how to eat sunflower seeds without using their hands than with the intricacies of baseball. Treat yourself to The Life of Reilly -- those who know Reilly's work will be pleased to revisit the master; those who don't will be thrilled to discover an extraordinary talent.

Wetherell WD. W. D.
Upland Stream: Notes on the Fishing Passion
New York New York U.S.A.: Little Brown and Company 1993. Book. Fine. Trade Paperback. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or clippings. Illustrated. Stated First Edition. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. 204 pages. Illustrated. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. From Publishers Weekly If writers on the subject are reliable witnesses then fly-fishing is the most cerebral of sports; in these splendid essays Wetherell Vermont Water supports that view convincingly. He explores tiny streams in New Hampshire indulges in a wild fantasy about fishing his way around Vermont without ever leaving the water and makes his first trip to the famous Montana rivers at the height of the Yellowstone fires 1988. Wetherell describes his home grounds as a place "where it is possible to stand in all four seasons simultaneously and be uncomfortable in each." Recounting experiences with an inflatable raft bass fishing on a large river salmon fishing in Scotland and Nova Scotia he finally addresses the ultimate question: "Why fish" Wetherell's reflections on the foibles of fly-fishers his delight in the sport and his love of nature will appeal to non-anglers as well as to fisherfolk. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information Inc. From Library Journal Wetherell is part of a tradition of articulate modern fly-fishing writers that includes John Gierach Sex Death and Fly Fishing LJ 5/15/90 William Humphrey and Nick Lyons Confessions of a Fly Fishing Addict LJ 5/15/89. In these 18 essays a worthy sequel to his Vermont River Winchester dist. by New Century Pubs. 1984 novelist Wetherell Chekhov's Sister LJ 2/15/90 offers his personal experiences and reflections on the sport. Granted a line like "The fly rod is an epistemological tool . . . " might sound a bit cumbersome but it is not meant to be overbearing. Rather it reveals a writer with sufficient respect for his audience to use all the descriptive tools available to him in making connections between his passion and the wider world of human experience. For collections of fly-fishing literature. -David J. Panciera Westerly P.L. R.I. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information Inc. Little, Brown and Company Paperback

Keller Julia
Mr. Gatling's Terrible Marvel: The Gun That Changed Everything and the Misunderstood Genius Who Invented It
New York New York U.S.A.: Viking Press 2008. Book. As New. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. NEW book. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine clean pages. Illustrated. NO writing marks or tears. 294 pages. A Pulitzer Prize winner explores the role of the first machine gun in transforming America into a superpower Although it was little used during the American Civil War the time in which it was invented the Gatling gun soon changed the nature of warfare and the course of world history. Discharging two hundred shots per minute with alarming accuracy the world's first machine gun became vitally important to protecting and expanding America's overseas interests. Its inventor Richard Gatling was famous in his own time for creating and improving many industrial designs from bicycles and steamship propellers to flush toilets. A man of great business and scientific acumen Gatling actually proposed his gun as a way of saving lives thinking it would decrease the size of armies and therefore make it easier to supply soldiers and reduce malnutrition deaths. The scientists who unleashed America's atomic arsenal less than a century later would see it much the same way. In Mr. Gatling's Terrible Marvel Julia Keller offers a riveting account of the Gatling gun's invention its misunderstood creator and its tremendous impact on American and world events. She also shows how the gun in its combination of ingenuity idealism and destructive power perfectly exemplified the paradox of America's rise as a world superpower. Viking Press Hardcover
