This is believed to be Gary BraunSuper G (SG3)started with the show in the 90s and despite a few short breaks, never seems to be able to leave. Scott A. Rowan, a pioneer in educational sports, is the publisher of the magazine Richmond Sport Scene and is a former newspaper editor/reporter. His love of sports came from the end of the bench, where he usually sat waiting to get in the game. Through sports, Scott reveals real moments in global history there were altered by various teams, games, and individuals. "Weaponized Baseball" and "The Cubs Quotient" are Scott's first two educational sports titles with more in progress now on other sports and other baseball teams. Scott is also the creator of The Super Fins, a digital news magazine and book series that teaches people about key aquatic issues by exploring the amazing "superpowers" that aquatic animals possess. In 2019, Scott released his first collection of poetry: "An Invitation to Misanthropes." This book is not fiction100 percent of these stories are true. Painstakingly researched, these stories are the facts that most teachers don't teach and politicians wouldn't want you to know about if they could stop it. You will never look at sports the same way again. Some sports are more than just games. From The Big Lie to the Civil War to even the Afterlife and beyond, WEAPONIZED BASEBALL by sports historian Scott A. Rowan, takes sports fans on a mind-expanding journey unlike any sports or history book ever written. Discover the true, real-life stories behind benchmark moments in global history that are not taught in classrooms nor found in most American textbooks. Baseball becomes our guide through civilization, revealing hundreds of hidden stories about how the sport altered world politics, helped build nations, caused revolutions, led to wars, ended battles, and, when the fighting was over, baseball became the tool of ambassadors and a medium of unspoken dialogue between nations, sparking covert espionage and savage revenge American news agencies didn't report. Spanning billions of years and revealing baseball-connected history on six continents,WEAPONIZED BASEBALL packs hundreds of untold stories into 55 chapters of page-turning fun, exposing one sport's clandestine connection to, among other things: Gen. MacArthur's history-making military deception; Two White House scandals: Watergate & Teapot Dome; The Parsley Massacre & the bloodiest team owner ever; The "Korean Nixon" coup and his massacre coverup; The Last Stand of Gen. George Custer; Adolf Hitler's baseball record; Benito Mussolini's soldiers in Tennessee; Cuba's on-going victory over the United States; The Great Escape and the survival of WWII POWs.
