Download Billy and the Boys Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
DESTINED TO WIN? During the spring of 1956, a small-town high school baseball team in Southwest Georgia lived the impossible dream. It won game after game and advanced to the state playoffs. It was the sixth year the boys had played together, and along with Coach Billy Cox, they felt this was their year to go all the way. The time was now...now or never. But was it their destiny to win? Webster called destiny 'that which is predetermined to happen.' The boys called it 'full speed ahead and take no prisoners!' Billy and the boys complemented one another. Billy was easy going and laid back; the boys were as comfortable together as an old shoe but still had an insatiable desire for winning and a time-is-right attitude. Together they turned District 3C on its ear en route to the Georgia state playoffs. This is the story-game by game-of the season when a close-knit group of boys from the country and a God-fearing, dedicated coach defied all odds for the Georgia class C championship, in some of the greatest games in playoff history. The author was born and reared in Americus, Georgia, and was educated in local schools and colleges within the state. He served four years with the U. S. Navy during the Vietnam War aboard the anti-submarine support aircraft carrier USS Kearsarge CVS-33, Long Beach, California, and Reconnaissance Attack Squadron Three, Naval Air Station, Albany, Georgia. He is retired civil service as a configuration management specialist and mechanical engineering technician with a U. S. Marine Corps logistics base. An amateur songwriter and member of Broadcast Music Incorporated, he enjoys bluegrass music and watching the Atlanta Braves on television.

Download Play-by-Play Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Both a memoir and a "how-to" for anyone who aspires to a career in broadcast journalism, particularly sports, this book calls on Mercer's vast experience and name recognition in Texas to give an insider's view of everything from play-by-play to interviewing a celebrity athlete. Mercer began his career as the voice of professional wrestling in Dallas in the 1950s, and later went on to be a play-by-play announcer for teams ranging from the Dallas Cowboys to the Chicago White Sox, in addition to a brief "hard news" stint at the time of the Kennedy assassination in Dallas in 1963.

Download Baseball's Dead of World War II Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
While most fans know that baseball stars Ted Williams, Hank Greenberg, and Bob Feller served in the military during World War II, few can name the two major leaguers who died in action. (They were catcher Harry O'Neill and outfielder Elmer Gedeon.) Far fewer still are aware that another 125 minor league players also lost their lives during the war. This book draws on extensive research and interviews to bring their personal lives, baseball careers, and wartime service to light.

Download The Independent Carolina Baseball League, 1936-1938 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Shortly after the independent Carolina League was formed in 1936, officials of the National Association of Professional Baseball--which oversaw what was known as "organized baseball," including the major leagues--began a campaign to destroy the league. The NAPB declared the Carolina League "outlaw" and blacklisted its players because their teams were pirating professionally-contracted ballplayers with the lure of higher wages, small-town hero worship and a career off-season. Backed into a corner, the Carolina League wore its "outlaw" label with a defiant swagger, challenging the all-powerful monopoly of organized professional baseball and its standard player contract. This complete history of the league reveals how it persevered through three tumultuous seasons, fueled by the tight-knit community spirit of North Carolina Piedmont textile towns. Over its three seasons of existence, the Carolina League attracted professional baseball players from all over the country and it gave the players control over their careers, setting a standard that was resisted until free agency was adopted in 1973.

Download Crossing the Line Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
From 1947, when Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, through 1959, when the Boston Red Sox became the last Major League team to integrate, more than a hundred African American baseball players crossed the color line and made it to the Major Leagues. Each of these players is profiled in this comprehensive book, which includes their statistics and capsule biographies, their triumphs and trials. Some of these players became superstars of the game and eventual Hall of Famers—Jackie Robinson, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Roy Campanella, and Bob Gibson; most were average players. All were pioneers, facing down the enormous difficulties of integrating organized baseball. The authors provide a new preface and appendix for this Bison Books edition.
