When Baseball Was Still Topps
Card by card--all 572 of the '59 Topps set--this book contemplates the lives and times of mid-20th century baseball. That season was in the heart of a period of turmoil: milestones in integration, franchise shifts to the West Coast, a potential rival league, the major leagues' expansion, and labor issues that included paying young prospects not to play. The cards help tell the players' stories, too. The slugger who had a date with Marilyn Monroe (no, not Joe DiMaggio), and the minor leaguer better known than Marilyn. The nephew of a Black Sox player, and the target of a bribery attempt. The lefty catcher. The pitcher from Mayberry. The only player to pinch-hit for Ted Williams. Strikeout kings and wildmen. Religious stalwarts and hell raisers. The stripper's husband. The coolest socks in baseball. Ballplayers who were also basketball players--including the NBA's No. 1 pick one year. Satchel's Six Rules and Twig's Six Rules. Coot, Rip, Turk, Puddin' Head, Whammy, The Rope and Captain Midnight. Pick any card, and you'll find another engaging tale about baseball.

1954 -- a Baseball Season
This book will appeal to life-long baserball fans, particularly those who have followed the game for many years--specifically males over the age of 60, perhaps even age 50, too. Younger followers of athletic contests may also likely have an interest, given the revitalized impact to the sport currently--yearly Major League attendance numbers reflect over 73 Million paying customers in 2009. Cable network coverage proliferates--ESPN and MLB to name just two--continuously streaming the latest information and highlights 24 hours daily to a vast majority of USand international households. Americans are now living longer on average than they did during the time of this book, there currently existi...
New York Yankees Home Runs
The New York Yankees are synonymous with home runs. With more than 14,000 round-trippers to its credit, New York has out-homered the next most prolific franchise by more than 1,000--despite the Yankees' having been in existence for 20 fewer years. This book organizes information on the many New York home runs into detail- and summary-oriented tables. Part I covers various situational categories (e.g., grand-slam, leadoff, walk-off), special dates (Opening Day, Memorial Day, players' birthdays), and significant player and team records (Gehrig's 23 career grand-slams, five or more Yankees homers in a game). Parts II and III provide career summaries (number of seasons with 20-plus homers, by position in the batting order) and franchise totals (home runs by ballpark and opponent); and Part IV covers season-by-season totals and yearly leaders. Also included are appendices for inside-the-park and bounce home runs and home runs allowed by the Yankees.
