Book Description
It had been only twenty-four hours since Mighty Casey struck out, plunging fans of the Mudville team into gloom and despair. But a new game day dawned, and Casey once again proved his might with a homer in the eighth. The Mudville nine took a one-run lead, but in the bottom of the ninth, their hurler walked three straight. Bases loaded and the starting pitcher spent, the Mudville manager was not bullish about his bullpen. With the game on the line, he called for rookie Joy Armstrong to take the mound. Could she bring joy to Mudville again?and prove that a girl can play ball as well as any boy?

Book Description
Welcome to Moundville, where it’s been raining for longer than Roy McGuire has been alive. Most people say the town is cursed—right in the middle of their big baseball game against rival town Sinister Bend, black clouds crept across the sky and it started to rain. That was 22 years ago . . . and it’s still pouring. Baseball camp is over, and Roy knows he’s in for a dreary, soggy summer. But when he returns home, he finds a foster kid named Sturgis sprawled out on his couch. As if this isn’t weird enough, just a few days after Sturgis’s arrival, the sun comes out. No one can explain why the rain has finally stopped, but as far as Roy’s concerned, it’s time to play some baseball. It’s time to get a Moundville team together and finish what was started 22 years ago. It’s time for a rematch.

Book Description
Among Stephen Jay Gould's many gifts was his ability to write eloquently about baseball, his great passion. Through the years, the renowned palaeontologist published numerous essays on the sport which have now for the first time been collected in a volume alive with all the candour and insight that characterized Gould's writing. Here are his thoughts on the complexities of childhood streetball and the joys of opening day; tributes to Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, and lesser-knowns such as deaf-mute centerfielder 'Dummy' Hoy; and a frank admission of the contradictions inherent in being a lifelong Yankees fan with Red Sox season tickets. So, too, does Gould deftly apply the tools of evolutionary theory to the demise of the 0.400 hitter, the Abner Doubleday creation myth, and the improbability of Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak. This book is a delight - an essential addition to Gould's remarkable legacy, and a fitting tribute to his love for the game.

Book Description
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned… When three city girls are burned by the same man and decide to do something about it, the results get scorching. Olivia Bennett left New York hoping to find answers, and maybe a little bit of revenge. What she didn’t expect was running into Wyatt Wilder on the side of a Tennessee mountain when he saves her and her two new friends from certain disaster. He’s handsome and wealthy. He’s also grumpy, self-important, overly proud and a bully. Wyatt pushes all her buttons—the good ones and the bad. Not that it matters because he’s also her new boss. She needs the temporary nanny position caring for his daughter to help pay for her vehicle’s repairs so she’d better bite her tongue and toe the line. This hot single dad is as off-limits as he is frustrating. So why does she still want to peel off his `Wranglers and jump him? Welcome to Bitter End, TN, a small town that is about to feel the heat. So are the men of the town’s founding family--the Wilder brothers. Because three broken-hearted women on the adventure of a lifetime stranded in the middle of nowhere by a broken-down RV can lead to hilarious results… and maybe even love.
