Meet Mike Greenberg the popular host of ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike in the Morning the highest-rated drive-time sports talk show on the dial. To his three-million-plus listeners Greeny is the guy who's equally as comfortable dissecting zone defenses as he is discussing cashmere sweaters. He's been to Super Bowls and World Series All-Star Games and Final Fours. He's interviewed Michael Jordan Joe Montana and Wayne Gretzky. He gets paid to enthuse about sports which means he's the envy of most men in America. This is the hilarious sometimes touching and endlessly entertaining debut of one of America's fastest-rising sportscasters a wry and revealing look at one man's good-hearted but mistake-prone attempt to grow up before his children do. Marriage fatherhood manhood fame athletes crazed aunts with gambling problems the true significance of sports the worst possible thing to say in a room full of pregnant women no topic is beyond his reach. But don't take our word on it read what Greeny has to say about: Dating: People who reminisce fondly about dating are blocking out all the disasters and focusing only on the few great nights. If that is all you choose to remember fine. But be aware that no experience is without good moments. I'm sure during the sacking of Rome there were a few decent nights; maybe they put on a play. Life on the road: Wife television = no sleep. No wife no television = no sleep. Wife no television = sleep. No wife television = porn. Keeping things in perspective: Never assume you know more than the guy in the camouflage tux. And of course marriage: All of us are married to women who think we're idiots. Whether he's talking trash on the radio or talking dirty diapers over a fancy dinner Greeny's determined to reconcile two halves of a whole. So if your enthusiasm has ever been curbed or you're feeling remote without the remote or you're just wondering what exactly goes on in a guy's brain Why My Wife Thinks I'm an Idiot will be a source of comfort and unadulterated laughter.

‎Hate Mail from Cheerleaders: And Other Adventures from the Life of Reilly‎

‎New York New York U.S.A.: Time Books / Sports Illustrated Books 2008. Book. Fine. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 320 pages. Product Description: Soon after best-selling author Rick Reilly started writing a weekly back-page column for Sports Illustrated he tackled the subject of cheerleading. Reilly wrote: " I don`t hate cheerleading just because it`s as safe as porcupine juggling. I hate it because it`s dumb. Cheerleaders have no more impact on the game than the night janitorial staff. Exactly what does a girl get out of cheerleading anyway besides a circle skirt and a tight sweater " These sentiments didn`t exactly endear him to the pom-pom set who went after the 11-time National Sportswriter of the Year with a vicious letter-writing campaign. That`s the story behind the title of Reilly`s latest collection of columns Hate Mail from Cheerleaders now releasing as a paperback. Having handpicked 100 of his favorite pieces from the last seven years Reilly revisits his subjects by adding postscripts to his work. It`s obvious why the book`s first release as a hardcover in the spring of 2007 reached the New York Times bestseller list for eight consecutive weeks: this collection brings together the best work by the best columnist in the business.

‎Hunter Jim "Catfish";Keteyian Armen; Steinbrenner George Foreword‎

‎Catfish: My Life in Baseball‎

‎McGraw-Hill 1988. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. A photo of this book is available. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $16.95. Tight spine clean pages. 242 pages. Illustrated with photos. Pages showlight tanning. From Publishers Weekly: Hunter is as much at home traipsing through woods and streams on a hunting or fishing expedition or planting a soybean crop as he is pitching a major-league victory. In this warm reminiscence written with Sports Illustrated staffer Keteyian he covers his brilliant teenage baseball career in North Carolina his years with the Oakland A's and then the Yankees. The book is particularly interesting about Hunter's stint with the three-time world-champion aggregation put together and torn apart by Charley Finleyand observes that there may have been better players but there were few teams better than the A's. Then the authors progress to the furious bidding that took place when Hunter became a free agent and his stint with the Yankees at a time when Billy Martin was the off-again on-again manager and the egos of Martin Reggie Jackson and George Steinbrenner were in constant collision. Photos not seen by PW. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information Inc. From Library Journal: As baseball's first free agent Hunter went from the Oakland A's to the New York Yankees helping both teams to win several World Series in the 1970s. Those expecting a juicy and irreverent collection of anecdotes similar to Sparky Lyle's Bronx Zoo or Graig Nettles's Balls will be disappointed. Hunter is now a gentleman farmer with the accent on "gentleman." This is a warm reminiscence of his years on both teams his relationships with his teammates especially the late Thurmon Munson as well as a sensitive evocation of his life in North Carolina before and after his baseball career. "Catfish" is a nickname manufactured by Charlie Finley; this is Jim Hunter's story.Jo DeLapo Queens Lib. N.Y. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information Inc. McGraw-Hill Hardcover‎

Tight spine clean pages. Illustrated with photos. 259 pages. NO writing or tears inside book. Product Description Dear Baseball Fan: I know what you're thinking: Couldn't he have come up with a better title My mother agrees with you but unfortunately Genius just doesn't have the same ring. Let's get something straight right away. I may be an idiot but I've tried to do more in this book than just revisit the Red Sox's Miracle Season. I want to give you a sense of what it's like to grow up with baseball dreams to spend long years climbing the ladder and then over the course of three years to see the building blocks of those dreams fall into place. In this book you'll be reading about the son of an Army staff sergeant-a thrill-seeking Orlando kid who at age thirteen was gifted with a man's body including rare speed and reflexes. It was some straight talk from my brother that kept me from abandoning that talent which led to my eventually catching on with the Kansas City Royals and later the Oakland A's. Starting in 2002 with the Red Sox I got to see what can happen when a determined front office decides to roll the dice and acquire players who like me leave the thinking out of it-who trust their instincts and play team baseball. Forget what you've read about the posse of long-haired rebels who eventually made up the 2004 Red Sox. I'll give you the straight dope including who's got the biggest mouth hint: his first name is Kevin; what Pedro Martinez was doing all those times when you couldn't find him on the bench; what game David Ortiz should never play; and why I sometimes question Curt Schilling's sanity. Memo to Curt: the statue of you is being erected. What's it like being responsible for the hopes of millions In the fall of 2004 my teammates and I got to find out. What I've tried to do in these pages is bring you inside show you the black humor that erupted when it seemed we could do nothing right and the immense joy that followed when 25 guys took turns picking each other up and by sheer force of will reached baseball's summit. Red Sox Nation both natives and new arrivals this one's for you. Johnny Damon #18 About the Author Johnny Damon is in his eleventh year playing Major League baseball. A feared contact hitter and base stealer Damon is only one of four players in baseball history to drive in more than 90 runs from the leadoff position. He lives with his wife Michelle in Central Florida and has a twin boy and girl. Peter Golenbock has written numerous New York Times bestsellers among them The Bronx Zoo with Sparky Lyle #1 with Billy Martin and Balls with Graig Nettles. Three Rivers Press Paperback‎

Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 378 pages. From Library Journal What if a major league baseball team began the season with a woman in the starting lineup The time must be at hand since two novels with this basic plot have just been published. Both are light whimsical treatments of a serious social issue and similarities abound: the heroines are self-possessed women in their early 20s discovered by scouts while playing in the boonies. Both are catapulted to instant superstardom and handle the media well; so well in fact that they both fall in love with "serious" sports columnists. Both are less skillful at dealing with teammate and fan prejudice. Bowen whose slick style is similar to that of Dan Jenkins is a master of play-by-play. Baseball itself is his real main character. The players though sketched with originality are vehicles for clever conversation and social commentary. Gregorich a less-polished fiction writer emphasizes romance perhaps more than ballpark action. Her novel is shorter and more simply plotted relying on melodrama. Characterization is somewhat stereotyped the feisty heroine the narrow-minded manager but the reader nevertheless becomes fond of the good guys and boos the villains. Bowen's novel will appeal to most adult baseball fans men as well as women. Harper & Row Hardcover‎

Synopsis From the respected sports journalist and author of Shut Out comes a groundbreaking history of steroid use in major league baseball Despite enjoying an era of unprecedented prosperity and on-field accomplishments Major League Baseball is in crisis as its greatest players find themselves defending their achievements instead of celebrating them. The reason: steroids and other performance- enhancing drugs. Singled out by the president and Congress threatened with punitive legislation by Senator John McCain and under siege as part of the growing BALCO investigation baseball is desperately trying to get its own house in order after years of willful ignorance that have brought into question the sport s very integrity. In Juicing the Game award-winning journalist Howard Bryant raises the most important question the league faces today: In its desperation to recover from the crippling 1994 strike did baseball ignore warning signals that might have prevented the biggest scandal since the Chicago White Sox threw the 1919 World Series Combining hard-hitting investigative journalism with a compelling narrative filled with entertaining anecdotes as well as interviews with baseball heavyweights such as Jason Giambi Commissioner Bud Selig union head Donald Fehr and Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson among many others Juicing the Game promises to be the bombshell book of the season.
