big dodger fan
I have been a big Dodger fan for more than twenty years, and I loved this book. It allowed me to relive all the memorable events in Dodger history, particularly the World Series coverage of the 1981 and 1988 World Championships. Mickey Hatcher, Kirk Gibson, and Fernando, were three of my heroes. I also enjoyed all the player biographies, like Bill Russell, Bill Buckner, Ron Cey, and Pedro ...

Memories O' Hame And Other Poems (1915)

Pathmarks (Texts in German Philosophy)

2 reviews
Martin Heidegger

Cambridge University Press, 1998

This starts with a great beginning.
The first item in this book by Heidegger is a review of Jaspers's "Psychology of World Views." Heidegger's interest in the tendencies which Jaspers seemed to serve in his observations are a sign of the unsettling effect that true philosophy introduces into a view that has assumed normal psychological orientations. I haven't attempted to pursue the rest of the thoughts in this book. The ...

Miracle in Chavez Ravine: The Los Angeles Dodgers in 1988
William F. McNeil

McFarland, 2008

After winning the 1981 World Series and raising the expectations of management and fans, the Los Angeles Dodgers followed up with six years of disappointing finishes. By the time they ended the 1987 season 17 games behind the hated Giants, general manager Fred Claire had seen enough. Over the winter Claire radically restructured the team, bringing in fiery players like outfielder Kirk Gibson, closer Jay Howell and shortstop Alfredo Griffin to ...

Cambridge University Press, 1981

This is a collection of studies of suffering and martyrdom concentrating on the link, historically envisaged in different ways, between the sufferings of the faithful and the figure of Christ (or the messianic hope, in relation to one Jewish writer). The distinguished scholars contributing to this cohesive but many-sided book are C. F. D. Moule, J. C. O'Neill, B. E. Beck, B. Lindars, M. D. Hooker, W. F. Flemington, E. Bammel, J. P. M. Sweet, B. ...

The Single-Season Home Run Kings: Ruth, Maris, McGwire, Sosa, and Bonds
William McNeil

McFarland & Company, 2002

After Babe Ruth erased Buck Freeman?s record in 1919, the new mark stood for 34 years before Maris bettered it, defying as he did an incredulous sporting public. And just as fans? anger grew old and Maris was grudgingly credited?or discredited?with an unrepeatable hot streak, along came Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, two goliaths who in 1998 and the years just after proved fans wrong again. But when in 2001, only three years after McGwire seemed ...

Cool Papas and Double Duties: The All-Time Greats of the Negro Leagues
William McNeil

McFarland & Company, 2005

Many of the great ballplayers of the Negro League have been forgotten simply because baseball?s Hall of Fame would not recognize black players until Jackie Robinson and Satchel Paige made their way into the Hall of Fame. For this book, more than 50 former Negro League players and baseball historians were asked to vote for players who they believe should have been included in the Hall of Fame, and to select an All-Time Negro League All-Star Team. ...

Gabby Hartnett: The Life and Times of the Cubs' Greatest Catcher
William McNeil

McFarland & Company, 2004

Gabby Harnett is believed by many to be the greatest catcher of all time. This work chronicles Hartnett?s life from his early years in Millville, Massachusetts, through his twenty-year career with the Chicago Cubs as player and manager, his time in various capacities in the minor leagues and with the New York Giants and Kansas City Athletics, to his post-major league career as a businessman in Chicago. His childhood, early baseball ...

Ruth, Maris, McGwire and Sosa: Baseball's Single Season Home Run Champions
William McNeil

McFarland & Company, 1999

The magical 1998 baseball season made celebrities of Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa as they chased the legendary single season major league home run record. Fittingly, their success also refocused the spotlight on the men they were chasing (and eventually overtook): Yankee sluggers Babe Ruth and Roger Maris. This work reviews the life and careers of these four record-breaking longballers, with special emphasis placed on each of their ...
