Synopsis The three-time Olympic gold medalist tells of her struggles and triumphs in her sport and her life. Publishers Weekly After six Olympic medals and five world records most achieved in the grueling heptathalon Joyner-Kersee can indeed lay claim to being the "greatest." Here with Sports Illustrated senior editor Steptoe she tells of her rise to the top starting with her childhood in East St. Louis Ill. an industrial town on a downhill slide. She was raised in a loving if strict family and early on found a coach convinced of her ability to keep advancing in her sports both basketball and track. Nationwide honors began to come her way when she was in high school and continued at UCLA where she claims she did not get the coaching she required. Then on the scene came Robert Kersee who began as her coach then became her husband. Besides surmounting the obstacles of being African American poor and troubled by leg problems probably from overparticipation in sports Joyner-Kersee continues to face a far greater obstacle: severe asthma. Because she's sometimes careless about taking her medication she has suffered life-threatening seizures. Her story is inspiring and absorbing. Warner Books Hardcover

And as a result of a PBS-aired program based on his initial encounter with Roberts Shy Boy gained international fame. Yet throughout this extraordinary year Monty Roberts struggled with the question "Would Shy Boy rather be free" With trepidation he took Shy Boy back to the wild to let him choose. The event and its stunning conclusion are memorably captured in these magnificent photographs and in a story that is both unforgettable and inspiring.

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

Fox Stephen
Big Leagues: Professional Baseball Football and Basketball in National Memory
William Morrow & Co 1994. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. Price inside dustcover: $25.00 - NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. 522 pages. Illustrated. - NO writing marks or tears inside book. - Big Leagues is quite simply one of the freshest most original most informative and entertaining books ever written about sports. Taking as its subject America's three favorite professional team sports - baseball football and basketball - it traces their evolution from unlikely beginnings to their present status as multibillion-dollar businesses that still manage to capture the passion and imagination of Americans from every walk of life. Starting with the very first chapter "Going Airborne" it both resurrects forgotten heroes and provides new insights into established superstars. As author Stephen Fox points out the jumpshot in basketball was invented over sixty years ago by John Cooper of Kentucky and Glenn Roberts of Virginia; in the 1920s Benny Friedman first at the University of Michigan and then in the National Football League was the major pioneer of the forward pass; and Babe Ruth was merely returning baseball to an earlier time when he made the home run a highlight of the game. We love these sports Fox argues because they evolve within long repeating cycles that leave them stable at their cores. Ballplayers like their games don't change much. They remain forever young children with a ball retaining childlike attitudes toward sex and drink and drugs as well as toward superstitions and practical jokes. The off-the-field escapades of nineteenth-century baseball heroes John Clarkson and King Kelly merely showed the way for shenanigans that make headlines today. Three chapters trace the origins and early histories of the games with startling contradictions of accepted wisdom. Modern baseball began not in New York City in the 1840s but in Rochester New York two decades earlier. Football dates back at least to the early 1800s when Sir Walter Scott not only presided over a match but wrote a poem in tribute to it. The practices of Yale's legendary football maven Walter Camp could put today's recruiters to shame. One-handed shooting in baske. William Morrow & Co Hardcover

NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. Illustrated with photos. 404 pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. - Annotation Veteran sportswriter Leonard Koppett takes a lively thoughtful look at the most successful and influential baseball managers of the modern era. Filled with personal anecdotes from the author's long and distinguished career this work traces the evolution of material sytle through its practitioners right up to the present day. From the Publisher Baseball fans love to second-guess managers' strategies and speculate about their styles of managing and Leonard Koppett is no exception. Koppett brings 52 years as a working baseball writer to his understanding of these men in the dugout." "His analysis is based on personal interaction with all of the managers active since 1950 and their descriptions and judgments of the generation of men who preceded them. Every manager inherits his method from some influential manager he played for. Three seminal figures - John McGraw Connie Mack and Branch Rickey - form the trunk of a genealogical tree whose branches have eventually intertwined but whose key characteristics remain identifiable nearly a century later in the style of current headliners like Joe Torre Jim Leyland Tony LaRussa Dusty Baker and Boddy Cox." "This highly acclaimed study first published in 1993 has been updated to the year 2000 and now includes some recent winning managers and completes the careers of others. Crown Pub Hardcover
