SIDELIGHTS: Sports writer Richard Lally focusses much of his efforts on his main passion: baseball. After collaborating with former pro player Bill Lee on Lee's autobiography, The Wrong Stuff , Lally wrote Pinstriped Summers: Memories of Yankee Seasons Past , a book that focuses on the team's history from the time the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) bought the team in 1965 until the 1982 season. During this period, the Yankees experienced great success, winning four American League pennants and two World Series. They also experience "down" years, including a last-place finish in 1966. Lawrence S. Ritter wrote in the New York Times Book Review that Lally "provides a useful bird's-eye view of these eighteen years and puts batter Reggie Jackson and team manager Billy Martin in perspective against the background of their predecessors." Writing in Publishers Weekly , Genevieve Stuttaford noted that "Yankee fans may love every line of it; others will find it far too uncritical." A Kirkus Reviews contributor said the book is "fueled by various passions (including scorn for the Yankee management and envy of Baltimore's) and the prose has zip enough." Library Journal contributor Jo DeLapo praised Lally's attention to players of the late 1960s and early 1970s, including Roger Maris, Joe Pepitone, Clete Boyer, and an ageing Mickey Mantle, wrote that these are the players "many of us knew and loved, and their story has been neglected for too long." In Long Balls, No Strikes: What Baseball Must Do to Keep the Good Times Rolling Lally collaborates with former player-turned-television commentator Joe Morgan to discuss the growing popularity of baseball during the 1998 season as the home-run competition to break Roger Maris's record grew between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. The book also suggests changes to the sport, including increasing the number of blacks in management, seeking new talent in the inner cities, and having teams share profits equally. The authors argue that "the home run won't save the game on its own," wrote Wes Lukowsky in Booklist , dubbing the effort "a fine book." However, Alan Schwartz, writing in the New York Times Book Review , felt that Long Balls, No Strikes contains too many "blatant banalities" that "result in … belittling readers rather than enlightening them." In a review for the San Francisco Chronicle , Casey Tefertiller called the book "provocative and entertaining," adding that, "most of all, it makes the reader want to talk about baseball, and there can be no higher recommendation." Lalley turned his focus to the Yankees once again with his book Bombers: An Oral History of the New York Yankees , this time covering the team from Babe Ruth's arrival in 1920 to the 2000 World Series championship team. In an interview with Lally on ESPN.com , Rob Neyer pointed out that many books have been written about the Yankees and asked how Lally avoids the pitfall of rehashing old stories. "To make the cut for the book, a story had to offer a fresh perspective on an event or player," Lally explained. A Kirkus Reviews contributor pointed out that stories focusing on the World Series take up most of Bombers , noting that they are "told with a touch of spicy mustard." Paul Kaplan and Robert C. Cottrell, writing in Library Journal , praising the book as "sprinkled with insightful analyses," while Booklist contributor GraceAnne A. DeCandido wrote that "Lally is a fine editor and writer, evidenced in his choice and arrangement of quotes and in his own analysis and focus." Nearly twenty years after their first collaboration, Lally once again teamed up with Bill Lee to write Have Glove, Will Travel: The Adventures of a Baseball Vagabond . In this sequel to The Wrong Stuff the coauthors focus not only on Lee's time in the majors but also on his experiences after he left the limelight to play on both the senior circuit and in exhibition leagues, as well as his time conducting baseball clinics in Canada. A Kirkus Reviews contributor commented that the authors are "supreme at conveying the pure joy of playing baseball." Writing in Publishers Weekly , a reviewer called the book "a thoughtful and droll journal of an itinerant journeyman, content to ply his trade for whatever he can get out of the experience."

All rights reserved. Site Map | Site by Bibliopolis. IN SHORT. The lively ''Pinstriped Summers'' surveys the erratic fortunes of the New York Yankees from 1965 through 1982. During that period, the Yankees won four American League pennants (1976, 1977, 1978 and 1981) and two World Series (1977 and 1978). They also finished 5th three times, 6th once, 9th once and a depressing 10th once (in 1966). In the process, they hired and fired eight different managers, three of them - Billy Martin, Bob Lemon and Gene Michael - more than once. The list of managers would be even longer were it not that George Steinbrenner assumed ownership of the Yanks only in 1973 (in the preceding eight years there had been but two managers, Johnny Keane and Ralph Houk). So many books have already been written about these years, especially about the period when Reggie Jackson wore Yankee pinstripes (1977-81), that it is hard for Dick Lally, a sportswriter, to add much. Nevertheless, he provides a useful bird's-eye view of these 18 years and puts Reggie Jackson and Billy Martin in perspective against the background of their predecessors. Baseball fans who choke up when they recall the names Tom Tresh, Jake Gibbs and Horace Clarke, Yankee stalwarts of the late 1960's and early 70's, will no doubt be happy to renew old acquaintances. But if names like Hal Reniff, Roger Repoz and Dooley Womack don't give you goose bumps, this may not be the book for you. Zell's Pinstriped Blog, A New York Yankees Fan Blog.

    Jokester Klein mined gold in Minoso’s sore body parts By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, August 8, 2017 Robert Klein loves self-generated sound effects and body English em- phasis in his comic act. But like the veteran pitcher nearing 40, the 75-year-old jokester can't summon his vintage fastball when he needs it. In this case, reviving his old Minnie Minoso on-stage thread. “I did a routine about him holding the record being hit by pitched balls,” Klein said of the late, fearless White Sox great. “So I made up a fictitious (slapping) noise for being hit by a Robert Klein once had Minnie Minoso as a sound- pitch. I can’t do that noise anymore of effects, body English part of his act. a ball being hit. My tongue won’t op- erate like that. “When I did the routine, it was Chicago (tongue slap), St. Louis (tongue slap), and each time I’d get hit in the head. His (HBP) record was broken by Ron Hunt. I said they’d meet once a year together and show two goofy guys who were hit in the head too many times.” Klein then followed Minoso to the end of his career…whenever. “It was a nice gesture when the Sox brought him back for technically a fifth decade (1980),” he said. “A guy like him, he could have made his debut earlier (if not for the col- or line).” Klein did not channel Minoso from second-hand information. He watched Minnie in his Sox prime in the 1950s at Yankee Stadium, his home away from home in his native Bronx.

ARTICLES It’s Not About the Money: THE ROLE OF PREFERENCES, COGNITIVE BIASES, AND HEURISTICS AMONG PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES Michael A. McCann† I. INTRODUCTION Professional athletes are often regarded as selfish, greedy, and out-of-touch with regular people. They hire agents who are vilified for negotiating employment contracts that occasionally yield compensation in excess of national gross domestic products.1 Professional athletes are thus commonly assumed to most value economic remuneration, rather than the “love of the game” or some other intangible, romanticized inclination. Lending credibility to this intuition is the rational actor model; a law and economic precept which presupposes that when individuals are presented with a set of choices, they rationally weigh costs and benefits, and select the course of † Assistant Professor of Law, Mississippi College School of Law; LL.M., Harvard Law School; J.D., University of Virginia School of Law; B.A., Georgetown University.

  • The Boston Bombing Psy-Op
    Before reading on please read my pdf ‘THE BOSTON BOMBING PSY- OP’. http://sharonkilby.co.uk/site/THE_BOSTON_BOMBING_PSY- OP.php Super shill Chris Spivey [or more accurately the people who write his articles] knows all too well how the general public are prevented from getting anywhere near the real truth, and thus becoming a real threat to the ‘PTB’ [Illuminati/Masonic mafia]. He spells it out in his ‘Debunking Diana’ article http://chrisspivey.org/the-night-of-the-living-dead/ The content of that article BTW takes outrageous bollox to new levels! I’m not even going to go there. I’m only interested in how we are being mind controlled – by the likes of Spiv, and countless other COINTELPRO turds. This is what Spivey says [I’ve changed some of his wording slightly to reflect more of the truth]: “ALL of the many, many conspiracy theories arising from Diana’s death [of which there are far more than your usual psy-op due to how popular she was] was the doing of the Masonic controlled cointelpro agents, thus keeping the pretend investigative-journalists [mainstream and ‘alternative’] working to divert you from ever finding the right rabbit hole to burrow down. And since the huge number of anomalies in the official version of events ensured that enough in- fighting would occur over how the said anomalies were interpreted, the mainstream viewing public [since everyone else is a tin foil hat] were, in general, happy to go along with the official version of events.” “You see, by leaving room for conspiracy theories (which are red herrings designed to send those investigating the official narrative down the wrong path), The-Powers-That-Be are able to keep the vast majority believing their fiction, whilst keeping the rest - the blanket labelled “conspiracy theorists/nutters” away from finding out the real truth.” “..

  • View Key Chapters of Casey's Life
    Proposal by Toni Mollett, [email protected]; (775) 323-6776 “There comes a time in every man’s life, and I’ve had plenty of them.” — Casey Stengel KEY CHAPTERS IN CASEY’S LIFE AT BAT, IN THE FIELD, THE DUGOUT, THE NATION’S HEART 1910-12: Born in 1890 in Kansas City, Missouri, Charles Dillon Stengel, nicknamed “Dutch,” excels in sports. His father is a successful insurance salesman and his son has a happy childhood, playing sandlot baseball and leading Central High School’s baseball team to the state championship. To save money for dental school, Stengel plays minor-league baseball in 1910 and 1911 as a left-handed throwing and batting outfielder, first with the Kansas City Blues of the American Association. At 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds, he is fast if not physically overpowering. A popular baseball poem at the time is “Casey At the Bat,” that, plus the initials of his hometown, eventually garner him a new moniker. Casey finds his courses at Western Dental College in Kansas City problematic with the dearth of left-handed instruments. The Brooklyn Robins (later the Dodgers) show him a different career path, drafting him and sending him to the Montgomery, Alabama, a club in the Southern Association. He develops a reputation for eccentricity. In the outfield one game, he hides in a shallow hole covered by a lid, and suddenly pops out in time to catch a fly ball. A decent batter and talented base stealer, Casey is called up by Brooklyn late in the season. In his first game, he smacks four singles and steals two bases.
