Boots Poffenberger: Hurler Hero Hellraiser
South Orange New Jersey: Summer Game Books 2014. INSCRIBED & SIGNED by the AUTHOR directly on the half title page. Brand New. In perfect condition but for a touch of rubbing to the cover like you sometimes find in any new book store. Flat uncreased spine. Sharp corners. Fresh crisp - obviously never read. Illustrated with a few b/w photos. Lists of chapter notes. Bibliographical references. Career stats. Index. From the publisher: "Boots Poffenberger spent only parts of three seasons in the major leagues but is unquestionably among the wildest figures of his era--one that included Dizzy Dean Bobo Newsom and Van Lingle Mungo. Boots was every bit as much an all-star character as the others. He enraged management by playing by his own set of rules; delighted sport writers with an endless stream of crazy missteps and one-liners; and frustrated teammates who in the end always forgave him because of his warmth and genuine character. To the ballplayers and the many fans who adored him it was just "Boots being Boots." This carefully researched and affectionately written biography captures the essence of a true baseball original. Follow Boots rise and fall in the big leagues where his fondness for beer earned him the nickname "The Prince of Pilsner." Enjoy his resurrection in the minor leagues including a 29-win season that amazingly did not earn him a return to The Show due to Boots' nonconformity. Read about him during World War II and his perilous assignment as a Marine Corps pitcher based in Hawaii. Finally get to know Boots in his later life as a small town local hero whose outsized personality and heart resonate with the locals still today. Boots story is one of a time gone by an antidote to today s game of baseball and America before big money and big media became so dominant.". INSCRIBED & SIGNED. First Edition. Softcover.

Valvano was hired at NC State on March 27 1980. During his ten seasons at NC State Valvano's teams were the ACC's tournament champions in 1983 and 1987 and its regular season champions in 1985 and 1989.

Valvano became NC State's athletic director in 1986. His overall record at NC State was 209�114 and his career record as a head coach was 346�210 . In 1989 accusations of rules violations surfaced in the book Personal Fouls by Peter Golenbock. Six separate entities investigated Valvano and the NC State basketball program. None of them found any recruiting or financial improprieties. However a school investigation did reveal that Valvano's student-athletes did not perform well in the classroom as only 11 of the players that he coached prior to 1988 had maintained an average of C or better. After this report Valvano was forced to resign as the school's athletic director in October 1989. He remained as basketball coach through the 1989�90 season. Under subsequent pressure from the school's faculty and new Chancellor Valvano negotiated a settlement with NC State and resigned as basketball coach on April 7 1990. Valvano's version of these events can be found in this book. .
