This inside look at the pivotal year of 1918 proves that baseball has always been a game overrun with colorful characters, intense human drama, and explosive controversy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"＜em＞The Original Curse＜/em＞ is not just about baseball. It is a sweeping portrait of America at war in 1918. . . .

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Tom Yawkey Patriarch of the Boston Red Sox【電子書籍】[ Bill Nowlin ]

＜p＞2019 SABR Baseball Research Award＜/p＞ ＜p＞Few people have influenced a team as much as did Tom Yawkey (1903?76) as owner of the Boston Red Sox. After purchasing the Red Sox for $1.2 million in 1932, Yawkey poured millions into building a better team and making the franchise relevant again.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Although the Red Sox never won a World Series under Yawkey’s ownership, there were still many highlights. Lefty Grove won his three hundredth game; Jimmie Foxx hit fifty home runs; Ted Williams batted .406 in 1941, and both Williams and Carl Yastrzemski won Triple Crowns. Yawkey was viewed by fans as a genial autocrat who ran his ball club like a hobby more than a business and who spoiled his players. He was perhaps too trusting, relying on flawed cronies rather than the most competent executives to run his ballclub. One of his more unfortunate legacies was the accusation that he was a racist, since the Red Sox were the last Major League team to integrate, and his inaction in this regard haunted both him and the team for decades. As one of the last great patriarchal owners in baseball, he was the first person elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame who hadn’t been a player, manager, or general manager.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Bill Nowlin takes a close look at Yawkey’s life as a sportsman and as one of the leading philanthropists in New England and South Carolina. He also addresses Yawkey’s leadership style and issues of racism during his tenure with the Red Sox.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Schooled on the sandlots of Milwaukee, Chicago Black Sox center fielder Oscar "Happy" Felsch (1891-1964) was a rising star who then blew a promising career for a few bucks by participating in the throwing of the 1919 World Series. On the field, Felsch was hitting his peak in 1920, the year the scandal hit the newspapers.

Instead, he ended up playing the fallen hero for remote baseball enclaves in Montana and Canada.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Did he really play to lose the series or just say that he did out of fear of reprisal by crooked gamblers? Felsch talked about the scandal more than any of the other eight banned players.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Sox Bid Curse Farewell The 2004 Boston Red Sox【電子書籍】

＜p＞In 2004, the Boston Red Sox won the World Series in historic fashion. This book, published on the 20th anniversary of the 2004 championship, celebrates that team by collecting biographies all of the players on the roster alongside essays about that unprecedented postseason run and its ripples throughout New England. These biographies include everyone on the team, from the stars like David Ortiz, Kevin Youkilis, and Johnny Damon to a couple of guys who would later manage their own teams in the big leagues in Dave Roberts and Gabe Kapler, to the manager, Terry Francona, and his coaches.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Seeing the team win the World Series for the first time in 86 years resonated throughout New England and "Red Sox Nation" beyond, tapping into the strong sentiments that people have rooting for the underdog. When Dan Shaughnessy wrote the book ＜em＞The Curse of The Bambino＜/em＞, the title resonated with every Red Sox fan. But the "curse" was reversed when the Red Sox avenged that and every other loss to the Yankees by becoming the first team to ever win a seven-game series after being down three games to none.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chicago Cubs and White Sox fans have had even longer waits, but only the Red Sox had so many excruciating last-minute losses along the way. We hope readers will enjoy the story of Kathryn Gemme, who finally saw her Red Sox win it all again, when she was 109 years old. Also in the book we include the memories of a few dozen fans and details of the first-of-its-kind "trophy tour" to all 351 towns in Massachusetts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book began as a project of the Boston Chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research, but grew to embrace the contributions of 68 different SABR members, including both Yankees and Cardinals fans.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】At Fenway Dispatches from Red Sox Nation【電子書籍】[ Dan Shaughnessy ]

＜p＞Seeing baseball played at Fenway is an experience like no other for Red Sox fans and rivals alike because the park reminds us of what baseball used to be. Fenway may not offer fans the best seats or even adequate parking, but when game-goers walk through the park's gate, the smell of hotdogs and roasted peanuts, the sight of Fenway's brilliant green grass and the roar of the Fenway faithful overwhelms the most jaded of baseball enthusiasts, even Yankee fans.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At Fenway celebrates the rich history of Fenway Park home to the Boston Red Sox. Told through the wit and perceptions of Dan Shaughnessy, sports columnist for the Boston Globe and one of New England's most admired sportswriters, At Fenway is the writer's hometown tribute to the park how growing up with Fenway and the Red Sox affected his life and the lives of the many die-hard fans living in "Red Sox Nation." Author of The Curse of the Bambino, Shaughnessy takes readers on a walking tour of the fabled park itself, exploring every nook and cranny that makes Fenway unique. He traces the early history of Fenway from the day owner John I. Taylor broke ground for its construction in 1911 to the building material that went into the making of Fenway's "Green Monster" wall. In addition, Shaughnessy introduces readers to some of the unrecognized figures who keep Fenway's cherished traditions alive, including Helen Robinson, who has operated the park's switchboard for more than half a century, and head groundskeeper Joe Mooney, who "protects and defends the green, green grass of Fenway Park."＜/p＞ ＜p＞A book that uniquely captures the spirit of Fenway Park and what it means to be a Boston Red Sox fan, At Fenway also explores the "good, bad, and ugly" moments that have nurtured Fenway's love-hate relationship with fans. From the dark day of January 5, 1920, when Babe Ruth left the Red Sox to play for the Yankees, to the Red Sox's 1967 Cinderella-story pennant victory; from Carlton Fisk's 1975 World Series home run to the crowd-silencing homer Bucky Dent hit that clinched the Yankees' 1978 playoff birth, At Fenway recalls the park's greatest and worst moments and talks with the players who created them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rumors that the Red Sox will close Fenway in a few years have already provoked outrage among the faithful. Closing Fenway will mark the end of an era, and Dan Shaughnessy captures this era in all its tragic glory. At Fenway will be read and cherished by Red Sox fans and all fans of baseball as it ought to be.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The 2005 World Champion Chicago White Sox Grinders and Gamers【電子書籍】

＜p＞＜em＞The 2005 World Champion Chicago White Sox: Grinders and Gamers＜/em＞, published on the twentieth anniversary of the team's historic World Series victory, celebrates the club that broke "the curse of the Black Sox" to finally bring the White Sox a championship after an 87-year drought. Featuring biographies of every player on the club's roster in 2005-from the big stars like Paul Konerko and Mark Buehrle to the "cup of coffee" players like Jamie Burke and David Sanders-the book also includes bios of owner Jerry Reinsdorf (who also contributed the Foreword), general manager Kenny Williams, manager Ozzie Guill?n and his coaching staff, the team's television and radio broadcasters, and the club's home ballpark. More than a dozen articles cover key games, from Buehrle's Opening Day 1-0 gem (in an hour and 51 minutes) to Game Four of the World Series against the Houston Astros-another 1-0 White Sox victory. Additional essays tell the story of how this club of "grinding and games" fought its way to the title.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The 2005 White Sox won their championship in truly dominating fashion. Only the fifth team in major-league history to win a World Series after leading their division or league every day of the regular season, the White Sox went 11-1 during their postseason run, finishing with a four-game sweep of the Houston Astros. A throwback to teams of the past that relied on durable starting pitchers, the team's mound staff boasted four starting pitchers who worked 200 or more innings. In the League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Angels, White Sox starters worked all but two-thirds of an inning in the four-games-to-one triumph and finished the series with four straight complete-game wins-a postseason feat last accomplished in 1928. On offense the club was powerful enough to belt 200 home runs-fourth most in the American League-yet it also led the league in sacrifice hits and finished third in stolen bases. The multifaceted tactics known as "Ozzie-ball" resulted in a major-league-high 35 one-run wins-and an unforgettable championship season.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is a project of the Chicago chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research, but members of many other local chapters contributed with writing, researching, fact-checking and editing. A total of 57 SABR members worked on the book.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞So, this is it; and how far I can go. Frankie who after much troubled childhood effects found himself as a National Service personnel working in the interest of the Nation after his tertiary schooling in a health post quickly realized that he is among the top Players of the game. All other efforts for him to justify his inclusion fails as he willing prevented himself to be wanted by the damsel around who saw his as a perfect Guy to woo, tame and keep for life. All other wonders, for he does not smoke, drink alcohol and does not rat race with the other boys after girls; so what at all thus he use his money for? As others perfect themselves in the flirting game he see and thinks of other things so much that he can not enjoy himself as the little pleasure around him was almost sinful to look upon, sadly his perpetual help of bailing his friends after adventures of night and sex life with his money did not come back as he losses on all front, finally wishing to move elsewhere in life.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Eddie Cicotte, who pitched in the American League 1905-1920, was one of the tragic figures of baseball. A family man and a fan favorite, he ascended to stardom with nothing more than a mediocre fastball, endless guile and a repertoire of trick pitches. He won 29 games in 1919 and led the Chicago White Sox to the pennant. Although he pitched poorly in the World Series that October, fans did not hold it against him--a slump can happen to anybody.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A year later, the public learned the truth: Cicotte's poor performance was no slump. He had taken a bribe to throw the Series. Along with seven teammates, he was implicated in what became known as the Black Sox Scandal, the most disgraceful episode in the history of the sport. Overnight, he became a pariah and would remain so for the rest of his life. This is the first full-length biography of Cicotte, best known today not as a great pitcher but as one of the "Eight Men Out."＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】White Sox: The Story of the Reindeer in Alaska【電子書籍】[ William T. Lopp ]

＜p＞This story will be read by boys and girls in Alaska who know their fathers’ herds of reindeer “like a book,” or better than a book; and it will be read by other boys and girls who never saw a reindeer and think of them only as strange and wonderful creatures that live among the snows in a far-off northern region. I hardly know whether we enjoy more hearing the story of our own domestic animals or the story of strange animals that we have never seen. So I can hardly guess whether this story will be read with more interest in Alaska or in Maine and Florida and California. But it will be read with lively interest wherever it may go. When I was Commissioner of Education at Washington, in the Department of the Interior, people often asked me how it happened that my office had anything to do with such a distant and unrelated activity as the reindeer industry. I told them that this was one of the finest examples of real education for real life with which I had ever had to do. I found the subject tremendously interesting. Dr. Sheldon Jackson, who introduced domestic reindeer into Alaska, was then alive and was one of the most vigorous and adventurous and interesting members of my staff. Very soon Mr. Lopp, who was at that time a District Superintendent in Alaska, came on to Washington to arrange with the new Commissioner for the more complete organization of the reindeer industry and for its further development. I found Mr. Lopp one of those rare men who think more than they talk. We very soon got together, became acquainted with each other, and settled down to the work that we had to do together. I learned to appreciate his intimate knowledge of the reindeer business and its use in the making of better living conditions and a better life for those Alaskans who live in the reindeer country. I learned to value his personal devotion to the great work in which he was engaged. The friendship that grew up between us, through our official relations, is one which I have greatly prized, from that time down to the present day; and accordingly I have welcomed this story of his most warmly, and I am sure it will be welcomed by a wide circle of readers.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Bless Your Little Cotton Socks Beyond the Quirky Sayings of My Eccentric Scottish Mum【電子書籍】[ Diane Radford ]

＜p＞In this delightful essay collection that reads like a memoir Diane Radford draws the reader into the enchanting world of her parents her mother Margery, and her long-suffering father Sidney. Margery had a way with words she was never lost for them. Recalling her mums unique turns of phrase, Diane found herself beginning her own sentences with as Margery would say, followed by one of her mothers pithy comments. She never realized how much her mother differed from other mothers until she began to quote her, and listeners responded with either a quizzical stare or a peal of laughter. Diane mistakenly presumed everyone had a mother who would demonstrate the Charleston in the middle of doing dishes suds flying across the kitchen or recite poetry on a walk along the shore. Dr. Radford compiled these Margeryisms, and her essays recount the adventures of the Radford family and the circumstances in which the Margeryisms were let loose upon the world. At times laugh-out-loud-funny, at times poignant, these essays transport the reader to the times and places when Margerys saying would stop all other activity in a room. The coastal town of Troon, in Ayrshire, Scotland forms the backdrop for many of the memories. Mrs. Radford had a wanderlust that left her unsettled; hence, she and Sid moved frequently eight homes in all in Troon. This book in divided into parts according to where they were living at the time. The reader happily joins the Radfords on their peripatetic around Troon and shares in walks on the beach; feeding the birds; golf on the narrowest fairways between banks of yellow broom; and the animal adventures of the Radford family. These reminiscences of her childhood revealed to Diane that she was altogether blessed not just her cotton socks. The reader will be too.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
