Change Up

An Oral History of 8 Key Events That Shaped Baseball

By: Larry Burke,Peter Thomas Fornatale,Jim Baker

Change Up is every fan's box-seat ticket to a remarkable baseball event: a round-table conversation among the participants themselves about pivotal developments that changed the game, from the 1960s to today. Here, through the eyes and words of star players like Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, and Ichiro Suzuki, baseball legends like Cal Ripken, Earl Weaver, and Jim Bouton, and award-winning writers like David Marainiss, Bob Lipsyte, and Robert Whiting who reported the stories, are vivid and very personal accounts of some of the most important happenings in the history of the sport. How did the game change with the creation of the players union, the hiring of Frank Robinson as the first black manager, the rise of Latin and Japanese players? From the return of National League baseball to New York to the publication of Ball Four, these are fascinating stories viewed from a unique perspective. Even the most rabid and informed fans will find much that is new in these pages—and they will emerge with a greater understanding and appreciation of the game they love.

Southern League

A True Story of Baseball, Civil Rights, and the Deep South's Most Compelling Pennant Race

By: Larry Colton

Bestselling and award-winning author and former major league pitcher Larry Colton shares the story of the Birmingham Barons, the first racially-integrated team of any sport in the state of Alabama, just few months after the horrific 1964 Birmingham church bombing which killed four young black girls. Anybody who is familiar with the Civil Rights movement knows that 1964 was a pivotal year. And in Birmingham, Alabama - perhaps the epicenter of racial conflict - the Barons amazingly started their season with an integrated team. Johnny "Blue Moon" Odom, a talented pitcher and Tommie Reynolds, an outfielder - both young black ballplayers with dreams of playing someday in the big leagues, along with Bert Campaneris, a dark-skinned shortstop from Cuba, all found themselves in this simmering cauldron of a minor league town, all playing for Heywood Sullivan, a white former major leaguer who grew up just down the road in Dothan, Alabama. Colton traces the entire season, writing about the extraordinary relationships among these players with Sullivan, and Colton tells their story by capturing the essence of Birmingham and its citizens during this tumultuous year. (The infamous Bull Connor, for example, when not ordering blacks to be blasted by powerful water hoses, is a fervent follower of the Barons and served as a long-time broadcaster of their games.) By all accounts, the racial jeers and taunts that rained down upon these Birmingham players were much worse than anything that Jackie Robinson ever endured. More than a story about baseball, this is a true accounting of life in a different time and clearly a different place. Seventeen years after Jackie Robinson had broken the color line in the major leagues, Birmingham was exploding in race riots....and now, they were going to have their very first integrated sports team. This is a story that has never been told.

Crossing the Line

Black Major Leaguers, 1947-1959

By: Larry Moffi

From 1947, when Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, through 1959, when the Boston Red Sox became the last Major League team to integrate, more than a hundred African American baseball players crossed the color line and made it to the Major Leagues. Each of these players is profiled in this comprehensive book, which includes their statistics and capsule biographies, their triumphs and trials. Some of these players became superstars of the game and eventual Hall of Famers—Jackie Robinson, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Roy Campanella, and Bob Gibson; most were average players. All were pioneers, facing down the enormous difficulties of integrating organized baseball. The authors provide a new preface and appendix for this Bison Books edition.

A Fantasy Journey

By: Larry M. Roth

A Lawyer in Pinstripes By: Larry M. Roth When Larry M. Roth receives a trip to New York Yankees Fantasy Camp for his birthday, a humorous and touching journey begins for the 59½-year-old lawyer as he tries to get back into baseball shape after a 40-year layoff. Readers will find themselves laughing out loud when following along with the author’s attempts to sharpen his baseball skills with the young bartender at his favorite bar, his trip to Shopping Mall Hell to stock up on his necessary sports equipment, and his late-night trek to the drug store to buy all the pain medication he believes he’ll need at fantasy camp. This autobiographical account also takes a nostalgic turn as the author looks back at his time in Little League and sees how it provided an important escape from difficult family issues. By the end, A Lawyer in Pinstripes: A Fantasy Journey will leave readers thinking one thing: be careful what you wish for.

Renal Pharmacotherapy

Dosage Adjustment of Medications Eliminated by the Kidneys

By: Larry K. Golightly,Isaac Teitelbaum,Bonita A. Simendinger,Tyree H. Kiser,Gerard R. Barber,Nancy M. Stolpman

To promote effectiveness and minimize possible toxicity, the dosage of certain medications must be adjusted in persons with compromised kidney function. Failure to enjoin appropriate dosage adjustments in patients with abnormal or rapidly changing kidney function continues to lead to reports of drug toxicity involving a broad array of renally eliminated medications. This updated edition captures nearly 200 new drugs that have been approved by the FDA since the initial publication of Renal Pharmacotherapy. It also covers new evidence that has emerged regarding the need to adjust dosage of certain older medications that are eliminated by the kidneys. Additionally, it presents new data that are being continuously derived in the areas of patient-specific dose individualization for drugs of all types. Comprehensive, convenient, and evidence-based, this reference closes several identified knowledge gaps and will continue to be the leading collection of dosage recommendations for patients with compromised kidney function.

Strength Down the Middle

The Story of the 1959 Chicago White Sox

By: Larry Kalas

On the Evening of September 22, 1959, Gerry Staley was called out of the Chicago bullpen before a crowd of 54,293 hostile fans in Cleveland's cavernous Municipal Stadium. Chicago had a slim two-run lead, but the bases were loaded with Indians and only one was out in the bottom of the ninth inning. Staley, with ice-water running through his veins, placed his first pitch, a hard sinker, low in the strike zone on the outside corner of the plate. Cleveland's free-swinging, left-handed Vic Power swung and slashed a hard ground ball to Chicago shortstop Luis Aparicio. Aparicio glided to his left, gloved the ball, stepped on second and rifled the ball to Kluszewski at first. One pitch, two outs and the Chicago dugout erupted in spontaneous celebration. The 4-2, down-to-the-wire triumph brought the Chicago White Sox its first American League pennant in forty years.
