Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book rekindles memories of Milwaukee's County Stadium through detailed summaries of 72 games played there, and insightful feature essays about the history of the ballpark. The process to select games was agonizing, yet deliberate. The book could have easily been filled with memorable games by just Hank Aaron or Warren Spahn.About half of the games are dedicated to the Braves; the other half to the Brewers. Some of the summaries chronicle games that were memorable and historic when they occurred, such as Jim Wilson tossing the first no-hitter in County Stadium in 1954, the 1955 All-Star Game, the World Series contests of 1957, 1958, and 1982, and Robin Yount collecting his 3,000th hit in 1992. Other summaries recall great performances long forgotten, such as Bob Buhl's 14-inning complete-game victory in 1953 and the Brewers' two grand slams in one inning in an 18-1 rout of the Boston Red Sox in 1980. The games highlight the accomplishments and heroics of not just readily recognizable stars, like Aaron, Spahn, Eddie Mathews, Cecil Cooper, Paul Molitor, and Yount, but also revive memories of players like Gene Conley, Del Crandall, and Wade Blasingame of the Braves and Bob Coluccio, Dale Sveum, and Steve Woodard of the Brewers. Also included are great performances by the Braves' and Brewers' opponents, like Willie Mays' four homers in 1961 and Nolan Ryan's 300th victory in 1990. Twelve feature essays round out the volume and provide context for the stadium's history. Topics include the stadium's construction, the Braves' move to and departure from Milwaukee, the Chicago White Sox' home games at County Stadium, the Seattle Pilots' relocation to Milwaukee, and the stadium's demolition. Members of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) researched and wrote all of the essays in this volume. These uncompensated volunteers are united by their shared interest in baseball history and resolute commitment to preserving its history. Without their unwavering dedication this volume would not have been possible.With contributions by Alan Cohen, Bill Nowlin, Bob Buege, Brian P. Wood, Chip Greene, Dan Fields, Dennis D.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One of a two-book set featuring the two teams that went head to head in the 1986 World Series, one book on the Mets, and one on the Red Sox. These Red Sox were full of drama all year long, long before Bill Buckner's gaffe. Roger Clemens was young, so was Calvin Schiraldi. The book includes biographies of every player on the 1986 roster, all the coaches, manager, announcers, and write-ups of several key games from the season as well as the World Series. This book on the 1986 season re-tells the story of that year's classic World Series. After four games, each team had won two away games and neither had won at home. Then the Red Sox won Game Five at Fenway, and were one game away from winning their first World Championship in 86 years. It came to the point they were one pitch away from baseball Nirvana.And then.Just about everyone knows what happened, but there are takes on it here you might not have read elsewhere. Mostly, this is the story of each of the players, coaches, managers, and broadcasters, their lives in baseball and the way the 1986 season fit into their lives.As with many of the books published by the Society of American Baseball Research, this was a true collaborative effort. There are 74 different SABR members who contributed to making these two books on the Mets and Red Sox a reality. It took us two books to tell the story as well as we wanted. Be sure to pick up the companion 1986 New York Mets book for the rest of the story!Table of Contents: Tony Armas by Augusto Ca01;rdenas Marty Barrett by Mark KanterDon Baylor by Malcolm Allen & Alfonso L Tusa CWade Boggs by Steve WestOil Can Boyd by Bill Nowlin Mike Brown by Nick WaddellBill Buckner by Jeff EnglishRoger Clemens by Rick BushSteve Crawford by John DiFonzoPat Dodson by Bob LeMoineDwight Evans by Bill Nowlin Wes Gardner by Joanne HulbertRich Gedman by Tyler AshMike Greenwell by Joe Wancho Dave Henderson by Paul HenslerGlenn Hoffman by Clayton TrutorBruce Hurst by Gregory H Wolf Tim Lollar by Gregory H Wolf Steve Lyons by Donna L Halper Al Nipper by Gregory H WolfSpike Owen by Norm KingRey Quinones by John Gregory Jim Rice by Alex EdelmanEd Romero by Bill NowlinKevin Romine by Thomas Ayers Joe Sambito by Gene GumbsDave Sax by Rich Bogovich Calvin Schiraldi by David Forrester Tom Seaver by Maxwell KatesJeff Sellers by Niall AdlerBob Stanley by Will AndersonDave Stapleton by Tyler Ash Mike Stenhouse by Mark SternmanSammy Stewart by Bill NowlinMarc Sullivan by Armand Peterson LaSchelle Tarver by Mike RichardMike Trujillo by Mike Richard Rob Woodward by Bob LeMoine Owner, Jean Yawkey by Joan M ThomasGeneral Manager, Lou Gorman by Daniel R LevittManager, John McNamara by Mark ArmourCoaches Bill Fischer by Bob LeMoineWalt Hriniak by David E Skelton Rene Lachemann by Norm King Joe Morgan by Rory Costello Broadcasters Joe Castiglione by Curt SmithKen Coleman by Curt SmithNed Martin by Bob LeMoineBob Montgomery by Bill Nowlin Six 1986 Red Sox Games April 29, 1986 by Cecilia Tan and Bill NowlinMay 19, 1986 by Michael HuberMay 20, 1986 by Doug SkipperAugust 21, 1986 by Bill NowlinSeptember 4, 1986 -- Mets/Red Sox exhibition game by Saul Wisnia September 28, 1986 by Tom FlynnThe 1986 American League Championship Series by Allan Wood Why was Bill Buckner still on the field at the end of Game Six by Bill Nowlin The Revenge of 1912 by David KaiserA Parade for the Fallen by Bob BradyThe 1986 World Series by Matthew SilvermanMike Sergio by Bill NowlinBy The Numbers by Dan Fields.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The intersection of Grand Avenue and Dodier Street on the north side of St. Louis is one of the fabled locations in baseball history. Amateurs began playing on a sandlot there as far back as the 1860s. In the winter of 1908-09 Sportsman's Park, a dilapidated wooden structure, was rebuilt and extensively renovated and modernized. The new concrete and steel park served as the center of professional baseball in St. Louis for the next six decades. The home of the Browns and--beginning in July 1920--the Cardinals, Sportsman's Park hosted more than 7,000 major league games. This book rekindles memories of the venerable ballpark through detailed summaries of 100 games played there from 1909 through 1966. There are also insightful feature essays about the park's history. This volume is a collaborative effort of 40 members of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR).
