Seller's Description: Fine. Pages are clean and are not marred by notes or folds of any kind. THE COMPLETE GAME. The former All-Star hurler for the New York Mets, now a baseball analyst for TBS, reflects on the profession and psychology of pitching as exemplified in his career. Is there a trite expression not found in Darling’s prose? Enshrined here: “a ball game can turn on a dime,” “I had some butterflies” and myriad others. Granted, it’s somewhat effective to organize the text into nine “innings,” plus pregame, warm-up, extra innings and postgame. Each inning/chapter centers on an actual game the author either played or watched, which allows him to ruminate on a pitcher’s strategies in early, mid- game and late-game situations. Darling makes some mildly interesting comments about the craft of pitching (why he couldn’t throw a slider) and his mound behavior (what he did when someone hit a home run; how he felt when the pitching coach strolled out). He also offers encomiums for former teammates Gary Carter and Jamie Quirk, coach Dave Duncan and manager Davey Johnson. He writes affectingly of his realization that his family had been having a life of its own while he was off playing and movingly describes his emotions when he reached the end of his Mets tenure, as well as his career-sunset years with the Oakland Athletics. It’s evident that the author watched a lot of video; he often provides a pitch-by-pitch account of key moments in games long past. Occasionally, a felicitous phrase elbows its way through the crowd of clichés. Near the end, for example, Darling mentions baseball’s “beautiful cruelty”—too bad he tries to slip the same pitch by us again 18 pages later. Will certainly appeal to devoted Mets and Darling fans, but few others. Pub Date: April 7, 2009. ISBN: 978-0-307-26984-3. Page Count: 288. Publisher: Knopf. Review Posted Online: May 20, 2010.

WHY WE SWIM. by Bonnie Tsui ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 14, 2020. A study of swimming as sport, survival method, basis for community, and route to physical and mental well-being. For Bay Area writer Tsui ( American Chinatown: A People's History of Five Neighborhoods , 2009), swimming is in her blood. As she recounts, her parents met in a Hong Kong swimming pool, and she often visited the beach as a child and competed on a swim team in high school. Midway through the engaging narrative, the author explains how she rejoined the team at age 40, just as her 6-year-old was signing up for the first time. Chronicling her interviews with scientists and swimmers alike, Tsui notes the many health benefits of swimming, some of which are mental. Swimmers often achieve the “flow” state and get their best ideas while in the water. Her travels took her from the California coast, where she dove for abalone and swam from Alcatraz back to San Francisco, to Tokyo, where she heard about the “samurai swimming” martial arts tradition. In Iceland, she met Guðlaugur Friðþórsson, a local celebrity who, in 1984, survived six hours in a winter sea after his fishing vessel capsized, earning him the nickname “the human seal.” Although humans are generally adapted to life on land, the author discovered that some have extra advantages in the water. The Bajau people of Indonesia, for instance, can do 10-minute free dives while hunting because their spleens are 50% larger than average. For most, though, it’s simply a matter of practice. Tsui discussed swimming with Dara Torres, who became the oldest Olympic swimmer at age 41, and swam with Kim Chambers, one of the few people to complete the daunting Oceans Seven marathon swim challenge. Drawing on personal experience, history, biology, and social science, the author conveys the appeal of “an unflinching giving-over to an element” and makes a convincing case for broader access to swimming education (372,000 people still drown annually).

    Atlanta Braves Clippings Wednesday, May 6, 2020 Braves.com Braves' Top 5 center fielders: Bowman's take By Mark Bowman No one loves a good debate quite like baseball fans, and with that in mind, we asked each of our beat reporters to rank the top five players by position in the history of their franchise, based on their career while playing for that club. These rankings are for fun and debate purposes only … if you don’t agree with the order, participate in the Twitter poll to vote for your favorite at this position. Here is Mark Bowman’s ranking of the top 5 center fielders in Braves history. Next week: Right fielders. 1. Andruw Jones, 1996-2007 Key fact: Stands with Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays and Ichiro Suzuki as the only outfielders to win 10 consecutive Gold Glove Awards The 60.9 bWAR (Baseball Reference’s WAR model) Andruw Jones produced during his 11 full seasons (1997-2007) with Atlanta ranked third in the Majors, trailing only Alex Rodriguez (85.7) and Barry Bonds (79.2). Chipper Jones was fourth at 58.9. Within this span, the Braves center fielder led all Major Leaguers with a 26.7 Defensive bWAR. Hall of Fame catcher Ivan Rodriguez ranked second with 16.5. The next closest outfielder was Mike Cameron (9.6). Along with establishing himself as one of the greatest defensive outfielders baseball has ever seen during his time with Atlanta, Jones became one of the best power hitters in Braves history. He ranks fourth in franchise history with 368 homers, and he set the club’s single-season record with 51 homers in 2005.
