No October: The Story of the 2013 San Francisco Giants. Heartbreak and denied expectation and a few moments of newly minted joy.
ISBN: 9781494428617 / Angielski / Miękka / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "No October" is a poem I wrote in the final month of the anguish-ridden 2013 season of the San Francisco Giants. The season after they won their second World Series in three years. Why did I write a poem about the 2013 Giants and not the 2012 Giants? Frankly they are actually the same team and I guess I have always been more interested in how people react in adversity than in triumph. And the 2013 Giants experienced much in the way of adversity. From injuries to unexpected underperformance and moments of unexpected joy the 2013 Giants never lost that feeling of love and family that had made...

And in his powerful...

The Suitors of Spring: The Solitary Art of Pitching, from Seaver to Sain to Dalkowski
ISBN: 9781938545276 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

From the cultivated genius of Tom Seaver, to the irresistible wisdom of Johnny Sain, to the tragic mystery of Steve Dalkowski, the fastest pitcher ever, Jordan's portraits show us, simply and hauntingly, that wins and losses have more to do with a pitcher's heart and mind than his velocity and location.

Immaculate: A History of Perfect Innings in Baseball
ISBN: 9781771611152 / Angielski / Miękka / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Getting 3 batters out in order on nine pitches is one of the most remarkable feats in baseball. Since the late 1800s, only 71 pitchers have been able to do it. Yet, unlike other rare achievements in baseball, such as pitching a perfect game, the immaculate inning does not capture the same attention or consideration. In a game that is as unpredictable as baseball, perfection, when it occurs, should be cause for both reflection and celebration. In Immaculate, Cairney provides a short history of perfect innings through the stories of the pitchers who pitched them. Beginning with an brief...
