|  Produktbeschreibung (22327704): It is an exclusive club. So exclusive that it has only 23 members. Not everyone can join. Membership is reserved for only those select few who were able to collect 3,000 hits during their Major League Baseball careers. Babe Ruth did not make it. Neither did Lou Gehrig. Rogers Hornsby won seven batting titles, but is not a member. Neither is Joe DiMaggio. The men who are included were unique in their personalities, yet they all shared two common threads that link them together: durability and consistency. The 3,000 Hit Club takes a close look at the men who comprise this special club. From the angry Ty Cobb to the hard-drinking Paul Waner to the avowed racist Cap Anson to new members Tony Gwynn and Wade Boggs, each chapter explores the lives of these gifted men and the challenges, controversies, and conflicts they had to overcome to achieve their goal. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 9.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (21198888): Babe Ruth remains the most popular player in the history of baseball. The slugger for the New York Yankees established a home run record in the 1927 season, just a year before joining the league of authors. Babe Ruth´s Own Book is a who´s who of old-time greats-Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, and many others. It describes the Babe´s rise from poverty to stardom, catching his image and voice as freshly and permanently as pen and ink can. In a no-nonsense style, the Babe describes the ins and outs of the game, touching all bases and loading up the reader with priceless information and advice. The surprise is that so little about the sport has changed except the size of the players´ salaries. Jerome Holtzman, in a lively introduction, tells some good stories about Babe Ruth.

|  Produktbeschreibung (13659961): Gorgeous George´´ Sisler, a left-handed first baseman, began his major-league baseball career in 1915 with the St. Louis Browns. During his fifteen years in the majors, he played with such baseball luminaries as Ty Cobb (who once called Sisler ´´the nearest thing to a perfect ball-player´´), Babe Ruth, and Rogers Hornsby. He was considered by these stars of the sport to be their equal, and Branch Rickey, one of baseball´s foremost innovators and talent scouts, wrote in 1922 that Sisler was ´´the greatest player that ever lived.´´ During his illustrious career he was a 340 hitter, twice achieving the rare feat of hitting more than .400. His 257 hits in 1920 is still the record for the ´´modern´´ era. Considered by many to be one of the game´s most skillful first basemen, he was the first at his position to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Yet unlike many of his peers who became household names, Sisler has faded from baseball´s collective consciousness. Now in The Sizzler, this ´´legendary player without a legend´´ gets the treatment he deserves. Rick Huhn presents the story of one of baseball´s least appreciated players and studies why his status became so diminished. Huhn argues that the answer lies somewhere amid the tenor of Sisler´s times, his own character and demeanor, the kinds of individuals who are chosen as our sports heroes, and the complex definition of fame itself. In a society obsessed with exposing the underbellies of its heroes, Sisler´s lack of a dark side may explain why less has been written about him than others. Although Sisler was a shy, serious sort who often shunned publicity, his story is filled with its own share of controversy and drama, beginningwith a lengthy struggle among major league moguls for his contractual rights--a battle that helped change the structure of organized baseball forever--to a job-threatening eye disorder he developed during the peak of his career and popularity.

|  Produktbeschreibung (20981666): Great players - Grover Cleveland Alexander, Rogers Hornsby, Marty Marion, and Satchel Paige - tell their own stories, while Bill Veeck offers an account of his wild ride as the last Browns owner and Whitey Herzog shares regrets about the play that cost the Cardinals the 1985 World Series.

St. Louis is a city blessed with a memorable baseball history, and ´´The St. Louis Baseball Reader´´ perfectly captures the joy and heartbreak of its winning and losing teams.

|  Produktbeschreibung (13926518): Rogers Hornsby has the highest career batting average of any right-handed hitter and the second highest career mark overall. ´´The Rajah´´ won seven batting titles and hit over .400 three times. He was also one of baseball´s most successful player-managers, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a historic World Series triumph over the Yankees in 1926. Hornsby had an unrivaled passion for baseball; as a young player, he once even donned a disguise to play in a women´s league. But his unyielding drive to succeed often alienated him from lesser players, and his penchant for the racetrack made him powerful enemies in baseball´s higher ranks. Jonathan D´Amore presents a fascinating look at this outstanding hitter and complicated man. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 24.95 bestellen! |
