Joe Tenace is a comedic television writer whose show has just been canceled when two airplanes slam into the Twin Towers in New York. Although he is initially worried about his parents who run a deli in the city, he is comforted knowing they live in Brooklyn, far away from the Towers in Manhattan. But as days go by and Joe and his wife, Claire, hear nothing, they decide to pack the car and head from California to New York with their teenage son, Tony. Soon after Joe arrives with his family at Foggia's Deli and learns his parents were in the wrong place at the wrong time on September 11, he realizes it is up to him to continue his parents' dream. But that may not be as easy as it sounds. As he battles persistent internal demons, Joe embarks on a journey of self-discovery that leads him down an unexpected path where he must determine what is truly important in life. Cold Cuts follows a California funnyman's quest to reacquaint himself with his roots and learn to run the family deli in New York after his parents are killed on September 11, 2001.

The Hidden Game of Baseball

A Revolutionary Approach to Baseball and Its Statistics

By: John Thorn,Pete Palmer,David Reuther

First published in 1984, The Hidden Game of Baseball ushered in the sabermetric revolution by demonstrating that we were thinking about baseball stats--and thus the game itself--all wrong. This brand-new edition retains the body of the original, with its rich, accessible analysis rooted in a deep love of baseball, while adding a new introduction by the authors tracing the book's influence over the years.

Play Hungry

The Making of a Baseball Player

By: Pete Rose

A New York Times Bestseller The inside story of how Pete Rose became one of the greatest and most controversial players in the history of baseball Pete Rose was a legend on the field. As baseball’s Hit King, he shattered records that were thought to be unbreakable. And during the 1970s, he was the leader of the Big Red Machine, the Cincinnati Reds team that dominated the game. But he’s also the greatest player who may never enter the Hall of Fame because of his lifetime ban from the sport. Perhaps no other ballplayer’s story is so representative of the triumphs and tragedies of our national pastime. In Play Hungry, Rose tells us the story of how, through hard work and sheer will, he became one of the unlikeliest stars of the game. Guided by the dad he idolized, a local sports hero, Pete learned to play hard and always focus on winning. But even with his dad’s guidance, Pete was cut from his team as a teenager—he wasn’t a natural. Rose was determined, though, and never would be satisfied with anything less than success. His relentless hustle and headfirst style would help him overcome his limitations, leading him to one of the most exciting and brash careers in the history of the sport. Play Hungry is Pete Rose’s love letter to the game, and an unvarnished story of life on the diamond. One of the icons of a golden age in baseball, he describes just what it was like to hit (or try to hit) a Bob Gibson fastball or a Gaylord Perry spitball, what happened in that infamous collision at home plate during the 1970 All-Star Game, and what it felt like to topple Ty Cobb’s hit record. And he speaks to how he let down his fans, his teammates, and the memory of his dad when he gambled on baseball, breaking the rules of a sport that he loved more than anything else. Told with candor and wry humor—including tales he’s never told before—Rose’s memoir is his final word on the glories and controversies of his life, and, ultimately, a master class in how to succeed when the odds are stacked against you.
