"Lady in the Locker Room": Uncovering the Oakland Athletics

High-Top Sports Productions, 1993

A good read for Bay Area sports fans.
A fun read. As someone who grew up in the Bay Area (Berkeley) and raised on the Oakland A's, this was a fun look back at some of my childhood heroes. Loses focus a little bit here and there, but a must read for anyone who loves the A's.

Good information for the gambler, particularly the novice
This book provides a good view of the gambling indurstry from a person who lives it every day. The author is the President and CEO of the Claridge Casino Hotel, my favorite establishment in Atlantic City. The book explains in overview fashion the process by which casinos decide who to give free gifts to (such as a free room or a free meal). It explains what the casino looks for, how it makes ...

Pete Rose: My Story

High-Top Sports Productions, 1992

A GOOD READ
PETE ROSE DOES A GOOD JOB IN THIS STORY CONCERNING HIS CAREER AND PRIVATE LIFE. THE CONTROVERSY CONCERNING HIS GAMBLING IS DONE IN GREAT DETAIL AND IS A STAND OUT. PETE COMES ACROSS AS BEING CONFIDENT AND AT TIMES COCKY, HONEST, AND ARROGANT. I ADMIRE PETE THE BALL PLAYER, BUT AS A HUMAN BEING HE IS NOT A MODEL CITIZEN. I FOUND THIS BOOK WELL WRITTEN AND QUITE INTERESTING. A MUST FOR PETE ROSE ...

Thin Ice: The Complete Uncensored Story of Tonya Harding : America's Bad Girl of Ice Skating

High-Top Sports Productions, 1994

This is, at best, a collection of news stories
This "bio" which was obviously hastily churned out right after the 1994 assault on Nancy Kerrigan, doesn't tell the reader anything that hasn't already been printed in news stories. It's doubtful that the writers even interviewed anyone in the Harding camp; for instance, they repeatedly refer to her mother as LaVona Golden, when the woman doesn't even use that name. A shameless attempt to cash in ...

a great biography
The Lives of Riley is the ultimate portrait of the current Miami Heat Coach and President Pat Riley. Heisler traces back Riley's childhood and details the life of Pat's father, Lee. He also looks at Riles' playing days at Kentucky as well as his journeyman NBA career. The most impressive section is how Riley became Lakers' coach and continued their winning tradition. Heisler also examines ...

It wasn't a sport-it was a tether that tied me to my family
Baseball is not a game. Way more than that--it is a tether that anchors me to my Dad and him to his Dad. Crossing the generations like an Indy race car, it gives us common ground and makes us pals....if only for nine innings. In my childhood, there were two wonderful tethers. Besides The Grand Old Game, we had boxing. Dad and I could rattle on for hours -skipping through the decades ...

High-Top Sports Productions, 1995

.................Best Biography Ever
Ever want to get to know someone famous that you have haven't met? This is absolutely the best of the many biographies I have ever read. I feel like I know Billy Martin and understand where he was coming from with his sometimes erratic behavior. The George Steinbrenner relationship is very vividly explained and the impact of his personality on Martin's life. It is also some of the best writing ...

The Stronger Women Get, the More Men Love Football: Sexism and the American Culture of Sports

Well written, entertaining -- and scary
I'm a woman who has been puzzled and bemused for a long time by the male fixation on sports. How can a man remember the batting averages of all the players in last year's World Series, but not know the shoe size of the woman he's been married to for 10 years? Why does a man buy a newspaper, read every word of the sports section, and throw away the rest without even glancing at it? Why is a ...

Steve Howe

High-Top Sports Productions, 1992

Open, honest view of pro sports & the struggles to maintain.
At one point, Steve Howe was an awesome relief pitcher. He may have been on his way to be one of the best of all time. I know, i watched him intently for several years. This book shows that athletes are human, and have problems just as we all do. It also shows the intensity needed to survive on the professional level. I wish Steve well in the future. He reached the pinnacle,.. now he ...
