【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！】Two Sides of Glory The 1986 Boston Red Sox in Their Own Words【電子書籍】[ Erik Sherman ]

＜p＞Following an epic American League Championship Series win over the California Angels and just one out from winning their first World Series in sixty-eight years, the 1986 Boston Red Sox lost Game Six to the New York Mets in unforgettable and devastating fashion. Then they lost Game Seven and the Series itself. ＜em＞Two Sides of Glory＜/em＞ portrays the losing side of the story about one of baseball’s most riveting World Series match-ups. With the benefit of years of reflection from the men who made up the ’86 Sox, this will be the definitive book on this iconic yet most Shakespearian of Boston teams for years to come.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After telling the Mets’ side of the story, Erik Sherman turns here to the Red Sox’s version, with recollections from players that are both insightful and surprisingly emotional. Bill Buckner, whose name became synonymous with a muffed grounder, speaks openly about the cruel aftermath. Pitcher Bruce Hurst broke down three times while being interviewed. Dwight Evans confesses in his interview that he had never before talked at length about the ’86 team. And Roger Clemens talks candidly not only about the ’86 squad but also accusations of alleged steroid abuse later in his career and the toll it has taken on his family.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In each player’s retelling, there is the excitement of history never told and old mysteries answered. The story of the ’86 Red Sox is well known, but now, after thirty years, the players have opened up to Sherman like never before. It’s an in-depth, first-person account with the intriguing key players who made up this once-in-a-generation Boston team, and also a look at how the extremes of tantalizing victory and heart-wrenching failure shaped and influenced their livesーboth on the field and off.＜/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！】Eight Men Out The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series【電子書籍】[ Eliot Asinof ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A “vividly, excitingly written” classic of baseball history: “The most thorough investigation of the Black Sox scandal on record” (＜em＞Chicago Tribune＜/em＞).＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞It was “the most gigantic sporting swindle in the history of America”ーthe 1919 fix of the World Series and attempted cover-up. Eliot Asinof has reconstructed the entire scene-by-scene story of the fantastic scandal in which eight Chicago White Sox players arranged with the nation’s leading gamblers to throw the Series in Cincinnati. Mr. Asinof vividly describes the tense meetings, the hitches in the conniving, the actual plays in which the Series was thrown, the Grand Jury indictment, and the famous 1921 trial. Moving behind the scenes, he perceptively examines the motives and backgrounds of the players and the conditions that made the improbable fix all too possible.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Here, too, is a graphic picture of the American underworld that managed the fix, the deeply shocked newspapermen who uncovered the story, and the war-exhausted nation that turned with relief and pride to the Series, only to be rocked by the scandal. Far more than a superbly told baseball story, this is a compelling slice of American history in the aftermath of World War I and at the cusp of the Roaring Twenties.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Dramatic detail . . . an admirable journalistic feat.” ー＜em＞The New York Times＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“As thrilling as a cops and robbers tome.” ー＜em＞The Boston Globe＜/em＞＜/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！】Black Sox in the Courtroom The Grand Jury, Criminal Trial and Civil Litigation【電子書籍】[ William F. Lamb ]

＜p＞A comprehensive, non-partisan account of the judicial proceedings spawned by the corruption of the 1919 World Series is badly needed. This book provides it. The narrative of events has been crafted from surviving fragments of the judicial record, contemporaneous newspaper accounts of the proceedings, museum archives and, occasionally, the literature of the Black Sox scandal. Preceding the account of judicial events are a brief overview of the baseball gambling problem, a summary of the 1919 Series, and a discussion of post-Series events that presaged revelations of the Series fix.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The grand jury proceedings, the criminal trial, and ensuing civil suits initiated by various of the banned players against the White Sox are then recounted in detail, accompanied by copious source citations. The book concludes with a survey of how Black Sox-related legal proceedings have been treated in scandal literature. The book does not purport to be the definitive account of the Black Sox scandal. Rather, it uniquely presents how the matter played out in court.＜/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。

After a first-round sweep of the three-time World Champion Oakland A's, they advanced to a Fall Classic that echoes through the ages, and in the words of Carlton Fisk, the Red Sox won "three games to four.＜/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＞Boston writer Michael Connelly captures the magic of America’s return to normalcy after World War II in this intimate portrait of a city and the baseball team it loves.

And none was more American than baseball.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Along the way, Connelly brings out the stories and personalities that made that year so special in the Hub.

It was what made America great.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Husbands and sons were coming home to the open arms of a grateful nation. This included five hundred major leaguers who fought in World War II. The homecoming of America’s best sparked a spirit of collective pride from coast to coastーand New England was not exempt. For the previous five years, America sat around its radio listening to war reports. Now they would gather in the parlors to enjoy baseball once again.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Baseball had always been a thread that connected the countryーa sport that linked generations. Opening Day 1946 was a tangible reminder that the country was at peaceーback to the way things were. Nowhere was this more relevant than in Boston. From Scollay Square to South Boston to the North End, veterans in their uniforms, kids with bats over their shoulder, and housewives were talking about the return of Ted Williams and a roster that was considered the best in the league. Expectations were highーas always, at Fenway Park. Fans somehow knew this would be their year. The 1946 Boston Red Sox finished first in the American League with a record of 104 wins and 50 losses. And they wouldn’t disappoint (until October).＜/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！】South Side Hitmen The Story of the 1977 Chicago White Sox【電子書籍】[ Dan Helpingstine ]

＜p＞By self-admission, the 1977 Chicago White Sox couldn?t catch, run, or throw; and only on occasion could they pitch. Some felt unwanted and unloved by past teams. Two were told by skeptics that they didn?t even belong on the field. Yet it was these qualities that made them one of the most entertaining teams in franchise history. They didn?t bunt to move runners along, steal bases to distract the opposing defense, or turn the double play. They just hit and hit until demoralized opponents cried uncle. They didn?t win the World Series or even a division title. They couldn?t be called champions, but they lived up to another title. They were the South Side Hitmen. Team owner Bill Veeck transformed a hapless 1976 ball club into contenders and big-time draws at the ticket box. New acquisitions Oscar Gamble, Richie Zisk, and Eric Soderholm led the team to a franchise record 192 home runs, while legendary broadcaster Harry Caray led Comskey Park fans through the seventh-inning stretch.

【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！】Emperors and Idiots The Hundred Year Rivalry Between the Yankees and Red Sox, From the Very Beginning to the End of the Curse【電子書籍】[ Mike Vaccaro ]

＜p＞＜em＞The New York Yankees. The Boston Red Sox. For a hundred years, no two teams have locked horns as fiercely or as frequently ? and no two seasons frame the colossal battle more perfectly than 2003 and 2004. Now, with incredible energy and access, leading sports columnist Mike Vaccaro chronicles the history of the greatest rivalry in sports, and the two stunning American League Championship Series that define a century of baseball.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞October 17, 2003: A night no Yankees or Red Sox fan will ever forget. At 12:15 am, bottom of the eleventh inning of game seven of the ALCS, New York third-baseman Aaron Boone launches a ball over Yankee Stadium’s left-field fence. The Yankees win their 39th pennant ? and send the perennially vexed Boston Red Sox home . . . again . . . suffering another devastating loss to their longtime nemesis.＜/p＞ ＜p＞October 20, 2004: A year later, an eerie reprise ? but this time things are different. After losing three straight to the Yankees, Boston has charged back to win the next three, forcing a decisive game seven. From the start of the game Boston is in control, and by winning this game they march toward their first World Series victory since 1918.＜/p＞ ＜p＞These two explosive years define an extraordinary, epic rivalry ? from Mariano Rivera and Roger Clemens to Pedro Martinez and Curt Schilling, Derek Jeter and Aaron Boone to David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez, from nearly a century of Yankee domination to the undisputed breaking of “The Curse.” With the razor-sharp instincts that have made him a top sports journalist, Mike Vaccaro delves into the history of the rollicking rivalry: a vicious collision in 1903 (between the New York Highlanders and Boston Pilgrims) that draws first blood; the era of Babe Ruth and his legendary trade from the Red Sox to the Yankees, ushering in the notorious Curse; the golden age of DiMaggio and Williams; the unstoppable power of Mantle and Maris; the heart and soul of Fisk and Yazstremski versus Pinella and Munson; and the modern era of dueling owners, skyrocketing payrolls, and a renewed rivalry that attracts sell-out crowds even to Yankees-Red Sox spring training games.＜/p＞ ＜p＞EMPERORS AND IDIOTS is as lively, fascinating, and raucous as the teams themselves ? a must-have volume for any Yankees or Red Sox fan.＜/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！】Sock Drawer Theology Personal Integrity & Sanctified Socks【電子書籍】[ R. Kent Smith ]

＜p＞In a world where the cacophony of life often drowns out the whispers of our deepest truths, Kent Smith emerges as a beacon of clarity and insight in "Sock Drawer Theology." With a title that may raise an eyebrow or two, this book is far more than a whimsical exploration of sock drawers. Instead, it explores the fabric of our daily lives, weaving together threads of discipline and intentionality to create a tapestry of profound spiritual wisdom. In a culture that often glorifies the grandiose and the extraordinary, Smith reminds us of the transformative power of the mundane. He invites us to peer into the seemingly ordinary corners of our lives ? like the humble sock drawer ? and discover profound lessons waiting to be unearthed. At its core, "Sock Drawer Theology" is a call to embrace discipline and intentionality as guiding principles on our spiritual journey. Through anecdotes, reflections, and practical exercises, Smith gently guides us toward a deeper understanding of ourselves and our relationship with the Divine. What sets this book apart is its refreshing authenticity. Smith does not offer quick fixes or easy answers. Instead, he invites us to wrestle with the complexities of faith and find meaning in life's messiness. Drawing from his own experiences and insights, he offers a roadmap for navigating the challenges of modern existence with grace and purpose. The author reminds us that true spirituality is not found in lofty ideals or abstract concepts but in the daily practice of showing up, being present, and doing the work ? even when it's as simple as organizing our sock drawer. As you embark on this journey through the pages of "Sock Drawer Theology," approach it with an open mind and a willing heart. Allow yourself to be challenged, inspired, and transformed by the profound truths contained within. May you emerge on the other side of your discovery with a renewed sense of purpose, a deeper connection to the divine, and perhaps a newfound appreciation for the humble sock drawer.＜/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。
