ROBINSON GEORGE; SALZBERG CHARLES
On A Clear Day They Could See Seventh Place: Baseball's Worst Teams
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln: 2010. Softcover. Brand new book. To err is human. To really screw up requires team effort. Everyone cheers the clubs that win pennants but what about the doormats who made their triumphs possible It's time to give baseball's lousiest teams their due. Here they are: The 1904 Washington Senators whose only good player a thirty-five-year-old star hitter took a dive fatally into Niagara Falls; the 1935 Boston Braves who set the National League standard for losing percentage despite featuring three Hall of Famers�including Yankee exile Babe Ruth; the 1952 Pittsburgh Pirates Joe Garagiola's cellar-dwelling team that was so bad he quipped "they wouldn't put our pictures on bubble gum cards"; and the 1962 New York Mets maybe not the worst team ever but definitely the funniest in modern baseball history. You'll get the stats the scores the scandals and the secrets in this no-holds-barred account. When the survivors of these diamond trainwrecks include such legends as Marv Throneberry Ralph Kiner Cal Ripken Jr. Roger Craig and Joe Garagiola you can be sure that the book unlike its subjects is a winner.

LOWENFISH LEE
Branch Rickey: Baseball's Ferocious Gentleman
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln: 2009. Softcover. Brand new book. He was not much of a player and not much more of a manager but by the time Branch Rickey 1881-1965 finished with baseball he had revolutionized the sport�not just once but three times. In this definitive biography of Rickey�the man sportswriters dubbed "The Brain" "The Mahatma" and on occasion "El Cheapo"�Lee Lowenfish tells the full and colorful story of a life that forever changed the face of America's game. As the mastermind behind the Saint Louis Cardinals from 1917 to 1942 Rickey created the farm system which allowed small-market clubs to compete with the rich and powerful. Under his direction in the 1940s the Brooklyn Dodgers became truly the first "America's team." By signing Jackie Robinson and other black players he single-handedly thrust baseball into the forefront of the civil rights movement. Lowenfish evokes the peculiarly American complex of God family and baseball that informed Rickey's actions and his accomplishments. His book offers an intriguing richly detailed portrait of a man whose life is itself a crucial chapter in the history of American business sport and society.

OVERMAN STEVEN J
Living Out Of Bounds: The Male Athlete's Everyday Life
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln: 2010. Softcover. Brand new book. Despite enormous differences in pay among professional athletes most aspects of their daily lives remain surprisingly constant across sports and income levels. Living Out of Bounds provides answers to persistent questions about what it's really like to be an athlete and discusses the filtered image of the athlete that emerges through books and other media. Steven J. Overman mines a wide array of sports biographies autobiographies memoirs and diaries to construct a representative picture of the athlete's life from the rise of American sport in the late nineteenth century to the present day. In so doing he reveals the person behind the sports celebrity as he exists on a daily basis. Individual chapters cover topics such as college athletics the pressure of celebrity the difficulty of balancing sports and everyday life sex and sexuality race in sports the obsession with the body and the difficulties associated with retiring. In the course of the work a portrait emerges that transcends individual lives. The shared experiences of devoted training of travel and hotels and of tension within and beyond the clubhouse or gym force us to appreciate the often oppressive reality of the sporting life; at the same time individual lives provide a glimpse of the rewards that make sports so compelling to audiences and athletes across America.

LEVITT DANIEL R
Ed Barrow: The Bulldog Who Built The Yankees First Dynasty
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln: 2010. Softcover. Brand new book. Before the feuding owners turned to Ed Barrow to be general manager in 1920 the Yankees had never won a pennant. They won their first in 1921 and during Barrow's tenure went on to win thirteen more as well as ten World Series. This biography of the incomparable Barrow is also the story of how he built the most successful sports franchise in American history. Barrow spent fifty years in baseball. He was in the middle of virtually every major conflict and held practically every job except player. Daniel R. Levitt describes Barrow's pre-Yankees years when he managed Babe Ruth and the Boston Red Sox to their last World Series Championship before the "curse." He then details how Barrow assembled a winning Yankees team both by purchasing players outright and by developing talent through a farm system. The story of the making of the great Yankees dynasty reveals Barrow's genius for organizing for recognizing baseball talent and for exploiting the existing economic environment. Because Barrow was a player in so many of baseball's key events his biography gives a clear and eye-opening picture of how America's sport was played in the twentieth century on the field and off. A complex portrait of a larger-than-life character in the annals of baseball this book is also an inside history of how the sport's competitive environment evolved and how the Yankees came to dominate it.
