The stolen base is one of the most fascinating plays in all of sports. In no other sport is the opportunity present for the offense to literally take away what belongs to the defense. In other sports it is the ball (or puck) that must do the scoring; in baseball, however, it is the runner, and base stealing is the runner's greatest weapon. Not just ball games but entire World Series have turned on a steal. This book traces the history of the stolen base and stealing in the major leagues from its humble beginnings through its current status as an indispensable part of a team's offense. Also covered are the players who were synonymous with base stealing: Ty Cobb, Luis Aparicio, Maury Wills, Lou Brock, Rickey Henderson, and others. The most memorable steals in baseball history are also recalled.
Every civilization has created its tales of cataclysm or apocalypse. We are perhaps the first generation, which by deliberate actions could create our own doom. It's no great stretch of the imagination that humans might disappear from the face of the earth. Still, the instinct to survive is a powerful force and there probably would be some who would indeed make it. Within hours after the unexplained apocalypse unveiled in Minerva's Shield, lights would start going out around the country. More than 70%% of power in the United States alone is generated by the burning of fossil fuels. These power plants would only continue to produce electricity as long as the fuel takes to be consumed. As discovered during the journey outlined in Nike's Chariot, if there is no one around to provide the new fuel into the generating plants, then it will be quite quick before the lights blink off everywhere.
This LIFE Special edition remembers the Hall of Fame baseball players we lost in 2020: Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, Joe Morgan, Tom Seaver, Al Kaline, and Whitey Ford.

"What identity has culture given your generation? How have you been labeled and boxed in? What do 'they' say you are? Lazy? Entitled? Anxiety-ridden? Selfish? Fearful? Too sensitive? Addicted? Can't live without your cell phones? I say no! That's not who you really are. That's not what God sees!"These are words from Brock Morgan's Beautiful Rebellion, a book that cuts past unhelpful stereotypes and shows today's teens that they are uniquely primed to use their whole selves-faith, skepticism, intellectualism, humor, big questions, and all-to bring about a world-changing movement empowered and driven by God's love. Brock uses his engaging and often funny voice to tell stories from his job as a youth worker and speaker, sharing vivid and inspiring moments that will invigorate and encourage teens. Written for dreamers longing for a better dream, tender-hearted doubters who haven't lost their hope, and faith-filled people looking for more than they're finding in the church, Beautiful Rebellion points toward a better story, and shows readers that they're the ones who can live it out.
