Tales from the Cubs Dugout $15.48 Have so many ever cheered so much for so little? The Chicago Cubs last won the World Series in 1908 and last appeared in the Fall Classic the year World War II ended.Yet Cubs fans are among the most loyal, most knowledgeable, and most rabid in baseball. The teams they have loved and the players they have cherished have provided some of the game’s finest moments, as well as a treasure trove of baseball lore. The Cubs’ home park, Wrigley Field, is as much a national landmark as the Empire State Building or the Golden Gate Bridge. A charter member of the National League, the Cubs were born in 1876 — the same year the Seventh Cavalry fought at Little Big Horn. Cap Anson, baseball’s first superstar and possibly the finest player of the 19th century, played for early Cubs squads. In the early years of the 20th century, the fantastic double-play combination of Tinkers to Evers to Chance was immortalized in verse. Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown, Grover Cleveland Alexander, and Fergie Jenkins rank among baseball’s greatest pitchers, while hitters Kiki Cuyler, Hack Wilson, Billy Herman, Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, and Sammy Sosa have put up amazing numbers. But the Cubs transcend baseball much the same way that Paris transcends Europe. The story of the Cubs is part legend, part pathos, often heroic, and, on occasion, hilarious. |

Hardcover Book – Tales from the Orioles Dugout $19.99 The saying among players used to go, “What can be better than being young and playing for the Baltimore Orioles?” They may have fallen on lean times of late, but for several decades the Orioles were the class and envy of Major League Baseball. The team was an integral part of the Baltimore community; kids and their grandmothers knew the batting averages, ERAs, and even the personality traits not only of Brooks Robinson, Dave McNally and Paul Blair, but of every bench player and each relief pitcher. Over an 18-year period (1966 through 1983) the Orioles played in six World Series, winning three of them. They had the highest winning percentage in baseball for 30 years. Most of their stars were home-grown products, players signed and reared in the Orioles organization. They were proud to play for Baltimore and to be part of the vaunted “Oriole Way.” Tales from the Orioles Dugout tells the stories of these players, in their own words. They discuss the pivotal plays and the big games that electrified the city, and they talk about what went on in the dugout, on the field and in the clubhouse. Hall of Famers like Jim Palmer, Earl Weaver, and Brooks Robinson, and future Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr., share tales of what it was like to be an Oriole. Individually their stories are funny, poignant and eccentric. Collectively, they offer a portrait of a team that is as much a family and a community treasure as it is a professional sports organization.2004. 202 Pages |

In his own witty style, Bob Forsch, known to many as “Forschie” during his playing days, has drawn from his exciting history with the Cardinals to bring fans stories that are laugh-out-loud funny, like his rookie gaffes and lifelong antics with his older brother Ken, a fellow big leaguer and no-hit artist. Other tales are poignant, like his tributes to St. Louis favorite Willie McGee, legendary broadcaster Jack Buck, and “The Cardinal Way” Some of the stories reveal inside tricks, like how to confuse sign stealers. Still more are rarely-told true confessions, like throwing at 2003 National Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Gary Carter, following Jim Kaat’s tips for doctoring a baseball, or playing silly clubhouse pranks on the superstitious Joaquin Andujar. Forsch also includes the story of the pre-victory party that helped the Cardinals win the 1982 World Series – not even manager Whitey Herzog knew about that one. These stories and many more come to life in Bob Forsch’s Tales from the Cardinals Dugout. No Cardinal fan’s bookrack should be without it.2003. 200 Pages |

Baseball and Philosophy $14.98 William Irwin has taken philosophy out of the academy and put it on the bestseller list. The series has been featured in The New York Times and People, and on NPR’s All Things Considered. Now philosophy finds its real home — in the dugout. In Baseball and Philosophy, 18 professors — some from the new field devoted to the philosophy of sport, others unapologetic baseball fans — explore the sport’s deeper aspects. How can Zen be applied to hitting? Do you play to win or play by the rules? Is it ethical to employ deception in sports? Can a game be defined by its written rules or are there also other constraints? What can the U.S. Supreme Court learn from umpiring? Why should baseball be the only industry exempt from antitrust laws? These are some of the questions addressed in this witty, provocative blend of two major American pastimes: watching baseball and thinking about it. |
