Book Description
One of only four modern major league pitchers to strike out more than 300 batters in a year for two different teams, Curt Schilling delivered on a famous promise to help bring a world championship to the Boston Red Sox in 2004. Pitching on a mangled and bloody ankle, he fought through the pain to win crucial games in that postseason against the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals. In 2001, he also helped lead the then-four-year-old Arizona Diamondbacks to the team's one-and-only world championship. Off the mound, this father of four is an outspoken political voice, a dynamic business owner, and a generous volunteer of his time and money, benefiting charitable causes such as ALS and melanoma research, among others. In Curt Schilling, find out how this right-hander delivers success on and off the field.

Book Description
Years after his baseball career was derailed by a violent accident, our national pastime reappeared in his life – and has remained to this day. What follows is his extraordinary journey – baseball has taken him on a ride from the little leagues to the major leagues, and all stops in between. Jan’s memoir, Once Upon a Time in Baseball: My Pastime Summers, is a nostalgic look back at the golden age of baseball through the eyes of a young boy growing up in the 1950s, to a man in his fifties throwing batting practice for the newest entry in MLB, the 1993 Colorado Rockies. The book starts on the playground when, as a passionate fan, Jan was learning to play the game, and trading baseball cards, including the time he literally gave away one of the most valuable cards of all time. In high school, college and semi-pro, he discovered his talent as a pitcher, throwing a number of no-hitters. His dream was coming true – in the game he loved so much, and was on track for what he hoped would be a career in the big leagues. Then the summer following his sophomore year in college he was almost killed in a car wreck which ended his major-league dreams, or so he thought. Decades later he found himself back on the hill, throwing batting practice for the Rockies for six years, including throwing at Dodger Stadium and Wrigley Field, and culminating in the honor of presenting his book, Legacy of a Monarch – an American Journey, the biography of an all-star shortstop for the Kansas City Monarchs, at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown in 2006. Once Upon a Time in Baseball is a look back at the glory days of baseball, when it was sports king in America. Everyone who lived and loved the game back then will find this story brings back longing memories of days gone by.

Book Description
What would happen if the DNA of Roy Hobbs, Casey at the Bat, and Henry Skrimshander got mixed up with Jack Kerouac and Hunter S. Thompson, then the whole concoction was thrown into a blender and set on "comic book?" Welcome to baseball, PEBA style. Where the game is global and growing, and where you'll find scandal, love, mystical powers, ghosts, and even perhaps a Russian spy and a Japanese inspector or two. In other words, anything can and does happen. LET'S PLAY THREE! is a boxed set of all three volumes in the PEBA Chronicles (two novels and a short story). It includes: - See the PEBA on $25 a Day - The Mysterious Case of Shojiro Sano's Bats - Chasing the Setting Sun. These stories are like Robert Coover's Universal Baseball Association would be if everything in it was real. Or in an alternate history line. Or a comic book. Or not not. Who can tell? "If you love baseball, you're going to love See the PEBA on $25 a Day." - John Rodriquez, Commissioner of the Planetary Extreme Baseball Alliance

Book Description
Everyone remembers how the face of baseball changed back in 2006. The doping scandal, the egos, the excessive money. It all just collapsed. But, of course, baseball itself would not die. How could it? And after a season or two of discontent, up sprang the Planetary Extreme Baseball Alliance, or PEBA for short. Today Casey Neal and his buddy Don-o are fresh-faced college graduates unencumbered by commitments like summer jobs or girl friends. On a lark they tour every big-league park in the PEBA, and find themselves caught up in a web of intrigue and scandal that threatens once again the very heart of professional baseball itself. Against all that Casey, well, he's trying to find out who he's going to be in this world. And Don-o? Well, Don-o is something different all together now, isn't he?

Book Description
Since 1950, Omaha's Rosenblatt Stadium (formerly Municipal Stadium) has hosted the nation's top college baseball programs in the College World Series. Baseball fans from every corner of the country have taken the annual "Road to Omaha" and packed the seats to see championship baseball at its best. In 1954 thousands saw Jim Ehrler of Texas toss the tourney's first no-hitter en route to the Longhorns winning back-to-back CWS championships. Fans at the 1970 tournament saw Southern Cal defeat Florida State in the midst of their unmatched five-year championship run. In 1996 Rosenblatt's faithful took in the dramatic bottom-of-the-ninth, two-out, two-run homer by Louisiana State's Warren Morris, giving his team a 9-8 upset victory over powerhouse Miami.
