Valentine's Way

My Adventurous Life and Times

By: Bobby Valentine,Peter Golenbock

A frank and often hilarious account of the baseball life from one of the game’s great iconoclasts. “…the most entertaining baseball book of the year!” —Baseball Almanac From his first year in Rookie ball, when Tommy Lasorda ordered him to send a letter to the Dodgers’ starting shortstop informing him that he should retire early to make way for the young phenom, to appearing in disguise in the Mets’ dugout following an ejection, Bobby Valentine was a lightning rod for mischievous controversy, grabbing headlines wherever he went. Mavericks are seldom welcomed to upset the status quo, and Major League Baseball was no exception. In astonishing detail, Bobby Valentine reflects on the many remarkable moments that comprised his playing and managerial careers. From his wild times as a player in the early seventies, to his transition to coaching with the Mets after a catastrophic injury derailed his playing days; from managing the Texas Rangers in 1985, where he employed sabermetrics and witnessed the beginning of the steroid era, to his iconic stretch at Shea Stadium, when he led the Mets to the 2000 World Series while battling a dysfunctional front office and ownership; from his beloved time in Japan managing the Chiba Lotte Marines, who won the Japan Series, to the absolute disaster of a season in Boston, where he was greeted by a toxic clubhouse and fractured organization. Readers will be intrigued by his off-the-field exploits as well, from his early years as an international ballroom dancing champion to his post-playing days where he may have invented the wrap sandwich and the modern sports bar. Valentine has consistently overcome adversity and reinvented himself, regardless of the playing field. Along the way, he shares stories and insights on memorable moments and iconic personalities, including Nolan Ryan, Ichiro Suzuki, Gary Carter, Mike Piazza, Tom Seaver, Joe Torre, George Steinbrenner, Dustin Pedroia, and David Ortiz. Valentine’s Way is a riveting look back on forty years of baseball, written with a novelist’s mind and a journalist’s memory, and in collaboration with legendary baseball author Peter Golenbock. A once-in-a-generation book that leaves no great story untold, this is an invaluable document for anyone wondering what it’s really like to play and work in the rarified world of Major League Baseball.

Mr. Riley

English

By: Bobby Cinema

A new sports movie with a new twist about a failing major league baseball team, the Runaway Boys, that is a screwball comedy about the trials and tribulations about a computer billionaire whiz kid, Ryan Green. The new owner of a baseball team takes a chance on a misfit player like Mike Riley. An ex-superstar pitcher from this club was sent to the minors two years ago and hasnt been back ever since. Roger Punjaab, an Indian American doctor who works for his father, decided to join the majors. David Yoder, an ex-communicated Amish boy from Lancaster, decided to leave the community to play in the Baseball League. Jeff Riley, Rileys father, who was a junior college baseball star who became an architect and took his little league baseball team that his firm sponsored to a little league championship. He got laid off from his job for six months and was offered to be a manager of the big leagues, and Matt Schultz, a college baseball and cape league star who ended up as a librarian in the New York Public Library, dreams about playing in the Baseball League. He was invited to spring training by accident when there was another Schultz that was invited to spring training. These are the players he invites to camp who can turn this team around with a two-year losing streak against a greedy corporate raider named Dalton Reynolds, who hates the Yondala and wants to tear down the stadium build condos and hotels that will make him a fortune. Ryan is on a mission to save his team from a greedy investor who made a bet: if this failing team wins the pennant, he will invest a lot of money in the team, and if he loses, hell tear it down. The chances of winning the pennant is a million to one. But I hope the fans and the city are ready for them.

Shift Work

Poems

By: Bobby C. Rogers,Dave Smith

Shift Work gathers a chorus from the storytelling working classes of the Upper South. In narrative poems made of sinewy, Whitmanesque lines, Bobby C. Rogers composes portraits of dwellers in the small towns, unincorporated communities, and hard-edged cities they have flown to, always packing their past with them, an inheritance as ephemeral as vapor, made mostly of memory even as it was being lived.

My Incredible Life

By: Bobby Chambers

Warning: once you start reading this book, you won't stop until you are finished. This book is a true story or stories about my life. I explain in detail why and when I was taken away from my family by social services and put in an orphanage and then placed in two different foster homes, where I was abused and terrified, and I had a relationship with a twentyaEUR"yearaEUR"old woman when I was seven and a half years old. I also talk about very crazy experiences I had playing drums professionally on stage. The experiences are very dramatic, humorous, and sexy. Drums were and still are a very big part of my life. I would play with my complete heart and selfaEUR"expression when I performed. Music was a big part of my life that gave me purpose when I was at one of my lowest points in my life. I have also suffered with Crohn's disease most of my life. I have been in and out of the hospital as a result of this disease since I was a baby. The disease became so severe I had to quit my job and I became homeless, and I lived in the woods for two long years suffering from this disease. I also share some of my terrifying experiences from heavy drinking of alcohol and some of my deadly situations I put myself in from heavy addiction to drugs. It is absolutely amazing and a true miracle that I am still alive and able to write this book about my experiences. I experienced the presence of God while I was writing this book in such a profound way. I cannot even try to explain how powerful this experience was. You have to read this book to understand this absolute wonderful experience I had.

Extra innings

Bobby Ezor: Ordinary Life is Extraordinary

By: Vince Coppola,Bobby Ezor

Extra Innings, a memoir by Atlanta attorney Bobby Ezor, is built on the unexpected twists and unimagined turns of ordinary life. Often hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking, Ezor’s stories reveal the essence of what he’s discovered over the past six decades: there are no wrong turns in life, only opportunities. In Bobby, childhood innocence and curiosity blossom into risk taking and success in adulthood, a pattern apparent—sometimes alarmingly—in Ezor’s adventures beginning in his down-at-the heels hometown of Paterson, New Jersey across the Hudson River—Ezor’s Mississippi—from Yankee Stadium. These stories inevitably involve escape—to something rather than from something or someone—into fun, friendship, love, rock and roll, sports and commitment. A wide-eyed, six-year-old with a forever absent, workaholic father and a mother who whipsaws between smothering him and ignoring him, he watches his idol Mickey Mantle, stride a stage once dominated by the immortals Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and DiMaggio--and wishes he were there.

Finding Joy Beyond the Headlines

By: Bobby Lewis

News headlines rarely uplift us. They tell depressing stories about everything that is going wrong in the world. The headlines can give us an unrealistic picture of what is actually happening. God is doing amazing things in this dark and broken world! He shows up today in the middle of our mess and provides reasons to be thankful, hopeful, and joyful. The headlines get the attention, but there is good news everywhere! Are you looking for it? Im all about looking for the good because when you do, that is exactly what you see. Blindness has taught me that no matter how dark life seems, there is still goodness and grace all around. That is why I love Bobby Lewis book! He helps us see beyond the bad news and focus our hearts on hope. I really think he may have the cure for the common headlines right here on these pages! After reading just one chapter, I was reminded that God is good. He is here. There is hope and joy is possible.

Down in Orburndale

A Songwriter's Youth in Old Florida

By: Bobby Braddock

Bobby Braddock, one of the most successful country songwriters of all time, is a living legend. His smash hit He Stopped Loving Her Today won the Country Music Association's Song of the Year Award in two consecutive years and was voted Song of the Century in a poll conducted by Radio & Records magazine and greatest country song of all time in a poll conducted by the BBC. In this captivating narrative, Braddock demonstrates that he is as much at home writing the story of his life as crafting an award-winning country tune. Warm, candid, intimate, and laugh-out-loud funny, Down in OrburndaleOCothe title plays on the Southern pronunciation of Braddock's hometown of Auburndale, FloridaOCorecounts his colorful saga up to age twenty-four, when he decides to move to Nashville and pursue a career as a professional songwriter. Braddock retains enormous affection for his Florida upbringing, back in the mid-twentieth century when Florida was still Southern, oranges were more essential than tourists to the state's economy, and every small town seemed to be populated with actual eccentric characters right out of a Southern novelOColike Bobby's father, twenty-four years older than his mother, with a voice that was a cross between Foghorn Leghorn and W. C. Fields. Braddock's sensory memory of his childhood infuses his storytelling with the sights, sounds, smells, and significance of everyday living. When he tells tales of playing rock 'n' roll music in the Deep South of the early 1960s, readers experience some of the decade's most significant moments from a different perspective (for example, his band was in Birmingham, Alabama, when the Ku Klux Klan murdered four little girls). Along the way, he battles depression, hypochondria, and panic disorder, marries, and finally finds his true calling. Rednecks, religion, Florida, oranges, swamps, politics, racism, love, sex, illness, family, murder, and dreamsOCoall fill the pages of Braddock's compulsively readable ode to his youth. But it is music, above all else, that drives the story, providing a soundtrack for a life lived large.

Bobby Dazzler

My Story

By: Bobby George

The autobiography of one of the most charismatic figures in darts history, who has so much more to tell... When Bobby George first appeared on the darts scene, he immediately caught the eye: well built (he was the only darts player ever to be approached to take part in TV's Superstars), good looking and with plenty of bling, he was a natural showman. He could play a bit too, as he showed by reaching the final of the world championship in both 1980 and 1994. But that is only the beginning of the story. Before the darts came his time as a doorman at various East End pubs and bars just after the era of the Krays and Richardsons, when baseball bats and knuckle dusters would often come in handy. He also helped build the Victoria line. Since he retired from full-time darts, he has appeared in gangster films such as Dog, on TV programmes such as Celebrity Fit Club, and in videos with The Streets. Now best known as a commentator on the BBC, George relives the excitement of the last thirty years of the world of darts, with plenty of insider gossip and stories about all the most famous players in the TV era of the sport.

Exaholics

Breaking Your Addiction to an Ex Love

By: Lisa Marie Bobby

Severing a cherished relationship is one of the most painful experiences in life—and cutting those emotional ties to a loved one can feel almost like ending an addiction. Up till now, people recovering from other problems were able to get real help—like AA and rehab—while those struggling in the aftermath of traumatic breaks dealt with platitudes and friends insisting they should "get over it already." But now Exaholics Anonymous treats getting over an ex like kicking a chemical habit. Written by counselor and therapist Dr. Lisa Bobby, Exaholics offers meaningful support and advice to anyone trapped in the obsessive pain of a broken, or dying, attachment. She helps the brokenhearted heal, showing them, on a deep level, how to develop a conceptual framework for their experience, understand the emotional processes at work inside themselves, find the path to recovery, and free themselves of shame, injured ego, and remorse. In-depth case studies of others' journeys will illuminate the way to future happiness.

The Spizznet File

An Adventure in Inter-Species Communication

By: Bobby Matherne

How do dolphins communicate? How do dolphins use their enormous brains, equal in size to humans, to experience their dark, undersea world? In this novel, Dr. Mornay discovers the secret of how dolphins see and speak. He builds a device to communicate with them, not in simple grunts and whistles, but in full-color 3-D images. Yes, the dolphins speak moving pictures and have a story to tell humankind. Their ancestors were eye-witness to history and their handed-down stories are living newsreels of history. Join the rest of the world for the global ICN telecast -- THE DOLPHINS SPEAK! The novel opens with an impending world-wide telecast of the first inter-species communication in the history of the world. Humans will be conversing with dolphins during a global television broadcast. As the first few chapters unfold we learn Dr. Robert Mornay, a specialist in Marine Biology discovered the secret of how dolphins communicate: They Speak Pictures. As Mornay watches the introductory material of the broadcast, he reminisces over his childhood as he grew up reading all of the Dr. Doolittle books in his local library. He remembers the events that led him to the secrets of dolphin communication during the breakup of his first marriage and his subsequent divorce and re-marriage. At the end of each chapter the Dolphin People speak to the Human People in the form of pictures, moving pictures, newsreels of history, with dialogue in each countrys native language provided by the simultaneous translation of the visual dolphin language into words. The material in the novel about the possibilities of dolphin communication is within the realm of scientific possibility using available neural net and virtual reality technology. The novel contains a wealth of ideas and scientific information that could spawn research that will lead to actual inter-species communication. Some of the questions this novel answers about inter-species communication: How do dolphins see their surroundings in absolute darkness? How do dolphins communicate with one another? Is it feasible for humans to make machines that communicate with dolphins? How was John Lilly on the right track in his dolphin research? How was Lilly on the wrong track? Why are dolphins considered polite? How is their politeness connected with their manner of speech? Why is it easy for dolphins to synchronize their actions with each other? Why cant dolphins learn to vocalize like humans? What machines used by humans most closely resemble dolphin speech? Some of the questions this novel answers about dolphins: Why did the Dolphin People return to the sea after being land animals? How do the Dolphin People make written records of their history? How do Dolphin People heal their sick? How do Dolphin People handle their fears? Why do the Dolphin People beach themselves to die? Why have the Dolphin People chosen to talk to the Human People? Some of the questions this novel answers about people: How do humans actually see a three-dimensional world? Are any thoughts private? Can we remember the future? How are grief and fear related? These and many more questions Dr. Mornay and his dolphin informants answer for us in the course of this lovely and deeply thoughtful novel. If it has never occurred to you that it might be possible to see newsreels of the eruption of Mt Vesuvius, or witness the explosion of the entire island of Krakatoa, or to see Socrates feeding his dolphins, or watch Napoleon walking on the beach in Elbe, this novel is for you.

My Life as Elvis

By: Bobby Sypniewski

This book, My Life as Elvis, came about while I was in Key West, Florida. I never considered myself a writer. I wrote this and ran into a woman in Key West that could help me get things going. That’s where I realized that I could write. She liked it and agreed with the title. I feel that the title tells the whole story in it. I have had so many nice experiences because of imitating Elvis, and I would not trade it for anything. I have met many nice people and been to many places I never would have been. That’s why I say at the end of the book...Thank you God and thank you Elvis.

The Hickurnut Tree

By: Bobby Ensminger

The Hickurnut Tree is whatever you want it to be. It is a love story, an historical fiction, an examination of a man in mid life crisis and even a faith based fiction, but don’t stop there. The Hickurnut Tree is more than all of this. In reality it is a parable of the evils of socialism... a clash of ideals. What happens when a man’s personal vision is in conflict with another man’s and what happens when that second man has the full force of the government behind him. Can individualism triumph over “the common good”?

Touched by God

By: Bobby Jones,Lesley Sussman

In a soul-lifting collection that resounds with joy, today's black gospel superstars tell how the Lord has changed their lives, shaped their music -- and led them to triumph over life's most incredible trials. Dr. Bobby Jones, host of Black Entertainment Television's Bobby Jones Gospel and Video Gospel, joins nineteen acclaimed gospel performers whose personal stories, like the healing, hopeful music they were called to sing, are celebrations of God's glory. Kirk Franklin reveals how it took the violent death of his close friend for God to reach out and touch him, and turn him from a gang-banger to a minister for Christ. John P. Kee affirms that God saved him from drugs and the fast-money lifestyle of the streets. Shirley Caesar remembers how she fell apart when her mother died, and how the Lord helped put the pieces of her life back together. Given only a few months to live by his doctors, blind minister and gospel star Rev. James Moore praises God for a different kind of prognosis that keeps him singing to this very day. Gospel matriarch Albertina Walker's testimony affirms her God-given stamina in a harsh world that has tried to knock her down more than once. Dottie Peoples describes an encounter with an angel that took her out of nightclubs and returned her to singing gospel music in church. As rousing as a gospel choir in full swing, these and other inspiring accounts of hope and transformation confirm the power of music and faith -- and will stir the hearts of those looking to strengthen their own ties with the Lord.

The Hockey Stick Principles

The 4 Key Stages to Entrepreneurial Success

By: Bobby Martin,Robert H. Martin

What if every successful start-up followed a predictable pattern, and by knowing that pattern ahead of time, you could be more successful? In The Hockey Stick Principles, business consultant Bobby Martin shares his study of more than 100 new businesses, from Lending Tree to Under Armour to iContact, to show that every one of them has had a "hockey stick" growth history, starting with a tinkering period, moving through the daunting "blade years" before finally making it to the crucial inflection point that precedes surging growth. In this simple but incredibly helpful book, Martin takes us through each of those four stages of the hockey stick pattern, giving us a road map that will help any entrepreneur navigate the inevitable ups and downs of their business's early years.
