Forty Years a Giant

The Life of Horace Stoneham

By: Steven Treder

When New York Giants owner Charles A. Stoneham came home one night in 1918 and told his teenage son, Horace, “Horrie, I bought you a ballclub,” he set in motion a family legacy. Horace Stoneham would become one of baseball’s greatest figures, an owner who played an essential role in integrating the game, and who was a major force in making our pastime truly national by bringing Major League Baseball to the West Coast. Horace Stoneham began his tenure with the Giants in 1924, learning all sides of the operation until he moved into the front office. In 1936, when his father died of kidney disease, Horace assumed control of the Giants at age thirty-two, becoming one of the youngest owners in baseball history. Stoneham played a pivotal role in not just his team’s history but the game itself. In the mid-1940s when the Pacific Coast League sought to gain Major League status, few but Stoneham and Branch Rickey took it seriously, and twelve years later the Giants and Dodgers were the first two teams to relocate west. Stoneham signed former Negro Leaguers Monte Irvin and Hank Thompson, making the Giants the second National League franchise to racially integrate. In the late 1940s, the Giants hired their first Spanish-speaking scout and soon became the leading team in developing Latin American players. Stoneham was shy and self-effacing and avoided the spotlight. His relationships with players were almost always strong, yet for all his leadership skills and baseball acumen, sustained success eluded most of his teams. In forty seasons his Giants won just five National League pennants and only one World Series. The Stoneham family business struggled, and the team was forced to sell off its beloved stars, first Willie Mays, then Willie McCovey, and finally Juan Marichal. Then Stoneham had no choice but to sell the club in 1975. While his tenure came to an unfortunate end, he is heralded as a pioneer and leader whose story tells much of baseball history from the 1930s through the 1970s.

Harmon Killebrew

Ultimate Slugger

By: Steve Aschburner

When Hall of Famer Harmon "Killer" Killebrew died in May 2011, the baseball world lost one of its best hitters and one of the finest ambassadors the game has ever known. Killebrew was second only to Babe Ruth in home runs by an American League slugger, and finished his career with 573 home runs and in 11th place for all-time Major League Baseball history. This book takes a look at the 22-year career of a perennial Most Valuable Player candidate and baseball powerhouse, reviewing his life in and out of baseball and peeling back the mystery surrounding this intensely private athlete. This biography is a look not only at Killebrew's long career as a player, but his life as an announcer and businessman after his retirement from baseball.

Globalization, Sport and Corporate Nationalism

The New Cultural Economy of the New Zealand All Blacks

By: Jay Scherer,Steve Jackson

Although New Zealand exists as a small (pop. 4.3 million), peripheral nation in the global economy, it offers a unique site through which to examine the complex, but uneven, interplay between global forces and long-standing national traditions and cultural identities. This book examines the profound impact of globalization on the national sport of rugby and New Zealand's iconic team, the All Blacks. Since 1995, the national sport of rugby has undergone significant change, most notably due to the New Zealand Rugby Union's lucrative and ongoing corporate partnerships with Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation and global sportswear giant Adidas. The authors explore these significant developments and pressures alongside the resulting tensions and contradictions that have emerged as the All Blacks, and other aspects of national heritage and indigenous identity, have been steadily incorporated into a global promotional culture. Following recent research in cultural studies, they highlight the intensive, but contested, commodification of the All Blacks to illuminate the ongoing transformation of rugby in New Zealand by corporate imperatives and the imaginations of marketers, most notably through the production of a complex discourse of corporate nationalism within Adidas's evolving local and global advertising campaigns.

Centered by a Miracle

A True Story of Friendship, Football, & Life

By: Steve Rom,Rod Payne

Rod Payne, the former All-American center at the University of Michigan and a Super Bowl champion with the Baltimore Ravens, never set out to explain the meaning of life to Steve Rom, a sportswriter and the kind of guy most professional athletes keep at a distance. After Steve was diagnosed with leukemia, however, Rod left his job as co-host of a daily sports radio talk show in Ann Arbor, his first post-football career, to help rally his friend back to health. Steve's future, once again, became clear. So too, however, did the challenges that lay ahead. What ensued was a 10-month battle for survival, one that would ultimately turn these friends into brothers.

Crying for a Vision and Other Essays

The Collected Steve Scott Vol. One

By: Steve Scott,Gord Wilson

In Crying for a Vision, British-born poet, musician and performance artist Steve Scott offers a challenge to artists and a manifesto for the arts. This new edition includes an introduction and study guide, four newly-collected essays and an interview with the author. Steve Scott is the author of Like a House on Fire: Renewal of the Arts in a Post-modern Culture and The Boundaries. "Steve Scott is a rare individual who combines a deep love and understanding of Scripture with a passion for the arts." -Steve Turner, author of Jack Kerouac: Angelheaded Hipster. "Steve Scott links a number of fields of inquiry that are usually perceived as unrelated. In doing so he hopes to open wider possibilities for Christians in the arts, who may perhaps be relieved to find that, in many ways, they were right all along." -Rupert Loydell, author of The Museum of Light.

Touched by a Miracle

By: Joann Skywatcher

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a highly effective healing modality quickly spreading around the world. Author JoAnn SkyWatcher, has been using EFT as a primary tool in her Spiritual Coaching work for more than five years. Touched by a Miracle: EFT Healing Stories is both a primer on this important advance in energy psychology and a collection of 50 of JoAnn's favorite EFT healing stories. From alleviating back, shoulder, neck and other joint aches and pains, clearing phobias, working through emotional trauma from a relative's suicide or moving on from a past relationship, Touched by a Miracle: EFT Healing Stories is sure to amaze, inspire and bring hope to many long-time sufferers of both physical and emotional pain. Everyone deserves the miracle of alleviating emotional or physical wounds. As you will learn from this remarkable book, healing has much to do with intention and focus. EFT is a wonderfully simple yet potent collection of techniques that fosters the movement and clearing of stuck energy. When emotional energy gets stuck (when we're told to "stuff it" or "suck it up") it results in "dis-ease," a leading cause of stress-related illness. As one EFT Practitioner from New Zealand, Eleanore Duyndam, said after receiving an early review copy, "Wow, JoAnn ... I just read the whole book from beginning to end because I couldn't put it down. Wonderful stories " Here's what Lindsay Kenny, EFT Master, wrote: "I thought this was a very warm, personal, and thoroughly enjoyable book. I hadn't thought of tapping as creating miracles, but as I read JoAnn's heart-warming, back-to-back stories, the results do seem miraculous. What is so remarkable about tapping is that we can create our own miracles every day. Touched by a Miracle is a treasure." By learning to use EFT on yourself, you can use these groundbreaking techniques anywhere to restore a sense of peace and connection. As Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, says, "Try it on everything
