Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Third printing [stated]. Format is approximately 5.25 inches by 8 inches. [12], 318, [4] pages. Benjamin Franklin Deford III (December 16, 1938 - May 28, 2017) was an American sportswriter and novelist. From 1980 until his death in 2017, he was a regular spor…ts commentator on NPR's Morning Edition radio program. Deford wrote for Sports Illustrated magazine from 1962 until his death in 2017, and was a correspondent for the Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel television program on HBO. He wrote 18 books, nine of them novels. A member of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association Hall of Fame, Deford was six times voted National Sportswriter of the Year by the members of that organization, and was twice voted Magazine Writer of the Year by the Washington Journalism Review. In 2012, Deford became the first magazine recipient of the Red Smith Award. In 2013, he was awarded the National Humanities Medal, was presented with the William Allen White Citation for "excellence in journalism" by the University of Kansas, and became the first sports journalist ever to receive the National Press Foundation's highest honor, the W. M. Kiplinger Award for Distinguished Contributions to Journalism. His 1981 novel Everybody's All-American was named one of Sports Illustrated's Top 25 Sports Books of All Time and was later made into a film of the same title. Sporting News describes Deford as "the most influential sports voice among members of the print media" and GQ simply calls him "the World's Greatest Sportswriter." Of this book Hall Of Fame Mike Schmidt states "The Entitled is a baseball masterpiece, like The Natural and Field of Dreams; the difference is the plot and the characters depict the true inside world of baseball. Frank Deford writes like he played in the majors for ten years. If you have a passion for baseball, this is a must read." Derived from a Kirkus review: Sportswriter and NPR commentator Deford tells an intriguing tale about a baseball-team manager, his moody superstar and their moral dilemma. After decades of good, hard, largely unrecognized work in the trenches, Howie Traveler has finally gotten what he deserves: He's managing the Cleveland Indians. And he's doing the pretty good job he always knew he could do. But his golden opportunity is about to evaporate after two years of laying the foundation for a league championship. Jay Alcazar, the Indians' superstar, the muscle in the team's lineup, has gone off the tracks. The gorgeous, gifted Cuban is about to get hit with a rape charge, and straight-shooting Howie, who genuinely likes the slugger and has worked hard to earn his trust, holds Jay's fate in his hands. Howie saw Jay's accuser trying to leave the ballplayer's room and saw Jay pull her back and slam the door, but rape doesn't make much sense to Howie or to anyone. Jay is such a star and so handsome that he never wants for voluntary companionship or sexual satisfaction. He has only to lift an eyebrow, even in a year like this one, when he's off his stride. The manager, a very canny and very honest guy, is stumped. He knows he was hired to keep Alcazar happy and motivated, he knows that he's about to be replaced by someone who can motivate the outfielder to resume his winning ways, and he knows that he's never going to get a chance to manage a team if he gets fired. But rape? How can you wink at that? What he needs to know is why Jay spent a year distracted from his championship form. It all has to do with the circumstances surrounding the player's birth and subsequent removal from the Socialist Paradise, but Jay seems unwilling to save his own skin. Or Howie's. A compelling story enhanced by Deford's great, conversational writing style.
