No baseball team has captured America's imagination like the Mets. Alternately the "Lovable Losers" and the "Miracle Mets," New York's other team offers fascinating fodder for writer Richard Grossinger in this thoughtful collection. The New York Mets is a series of probing essays on the best and most interesting years of the team, particularly 1969, 1973, 1986, and last year's abbreviated run. A pivotal essay chronicles the lives of a professional athlete and a die-hard fan to create a well-argued, deeply felt meditation on the ways in which franchise baseball has come to fail not only the fans but the players. This centerpiece presents a poignant narrative of Mets pitcher Terry Leach and author Grossinger's own experiences playing and tracking the sport. Taken together, these powerful essays alternately take the poet's, the alchemist's, and the player's perspective to paint a composite portrait that brings all the stunning highs and dispiriting lows together to show the ways in which America's favorite pastime has changed. Grossinger reflects on the salad days when teams were happily homegrown and laments the current money-ball scenario some call baseball today.

About the Book Until now, entirely for my own enjoyment, I’ve written six fast paced, page-turner novels and have another in the works. I’ve recently decided to share my private world of multi-plots leading to unexpected conclusions with you. I elected to begin with “The Domestic Workers” because the subject matter is so timely. If you’re looking for a rapid-fire story never before told, one that you’ll find difficult to put down from start to finish while trying to guess where it’s intertwining storylines are taking you, you’re going to love “The Domestic Workers.” Follow Jason, Melanie, Josie and Frank as they navigate a tangled web full of twists and turns and unlikely romance; a tale that I hope will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. Will justice and morality prevail? The answer lies within the pages of “The Domestic Workers.” — David Stevens

Through my testimony, you not only know what I went through in the minor leagues, just as described in the movie "Sugar". You will also learn how I maintained and the experiences that I lived through during my time in the major leagues. Another lesson is about how my life is after I retired.

In my case I did not want to do tha...

The 1988 World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers are best remembered for Kirk Gibson's dramatic home run, Orel Hershiser's pitching dominance, and manager Tommy Lasorda's masterfully corny motivation, but there was much more that made the season memorable, bittersweet, and controversial, and this book explains it all. Using hundreds of hours of new interviews with players, coaches, broadcasters, and fans and combing through newspapers and magazines, Josh Suchon takes a new generation of Dodgers fans back to their memorable 1988 championship season. From the end of Don Sutton's Hall of Fame career and the memorable 46-day stretch of pitching by Hershiser that hasn't been equaled since to unlikely playoff heroes Mike Scioscia, Mickey Hatcher, and Mike Davis, "Miracle Men" encapsulates the fever and fervor that surrounded the team and the city of Los Angeles in the summer and fall of 1988.
