Boston’s Ballparks & Arenas $9.95 From the South End Grounds to Fenway Park, from Boston Garden to Gillette Stadium, the history of sports in Boston has been tied to the parks and arenas in which the teams have met and the athletes competed. Beloved but abandoned sites such as the Huntington Avenue Grounds, Braves Field, and the Garden are recalled by Boston fans with the same fondness Brooklynites feel for Ebbets Field, while contemporary stadiums maintain the region’s proud athletic tradition. This is the first book to tell the story of sports in Boston through the stories of these venues. Foulds gives pride of place to the region’s nine best-known sites, with numerous anecdotes about such fabled teams as the Red Sox, Bruins, and Celtics along the way. But he also considers parks that have been all but forgotten, such as the Worcester County Fairgrounds, once an official National League ballpark despite the presence of a tree in left field, or Lincoln Park, the former home of black baseball in Boston. And in addition to such milestones as the first World Series and the achievements of the great Cy Young, he also recalls the Hub’s support for soccer, tennis, lacrosse and, of course, the Boston Marathon.

Chasing Tiger $18.95 All eat from the bowl of life — Tiger Woods just has a bigger spoon. So writes Curt Sampson in his groundbreaking account of the current state of golf and the man who changed the game forever — Tiger Woods. With a mix of power, skill, and business savvy, Woods has become the biggest sports figure since Michael Jordan, wielding a competitive edge of equal parts inspiration and intimidation. As for the rest of the golfing world — including other players, junior golfers and their parents, corporate America, agents, instructors, fans, and the media — it’s either catch up or give up. As in his controversial bestsellers Hogan and The Masters, Sampson digs deep to tell stories that wouldn’t otherwise be told. From the Austin golf course worker whose admiration for Woods leads him to spend every waking minute mimicking him, to the unemployed talk show host whose website stretches the bounds of hero worship, to the other end of the scale, where up-and-coming pro Charles Howell III — tapped by Nicklaus to be the next great challenge to Woods — continues to close the gap. By turns moving, hilarious, and eye-opening, Chasing Tiger is an affectionate yet wary account of one extraordinary man’s impact on the world of sports, and the game of golf as it moves into a new era. |

City Editor $6.17 New York City in the 1920s and 1930s was a great newspaper town, and few people knew the exciting world of breaking stories and five-star finals as intimately as Stanley Walker. Walker earned a reputation as one of the city’s most resourceful and astute newspaper men during the seven years he spent as city editor of the Herald Tribune. In City Editor, Walker distills his experiences into a robust insider’s account of the journalism of his day, bringing to life the era’s famous reporters and editors and offering hard-won and valuable insights into the practices and ideals of his profession. He takes on the difficult issues confronting the journalists of both his own day and ours: journalistic ethics, the value of journalism schools, freedom of the press and corporate influence on editorial content, and the impact of new media (in Walker’s day, news magazines and radio) on newspaper circulation.In marvelously concise and vibrant prose, Walker describes the challenges and pleasures of covering New York City ( It affords the newspaper man an ever-changing spectacle ), balances the threat of libel with the need to get a good story ( A paper which doesn’t take chances is a dead paper ), and offers candid advice on good newspaper writing ( Pick adjectives as you would a diamond or a mistress… too many are dangerous ). He laments about the young reporters ruined by alcohol or marriage and looks at the demands of other newspaper jobs, from copyreaders and photographers to sports writers and press agents. He analyzes why some newspapers succeed while others fail and discusses the future of women in journalism, concluding with profiles of twelve of New York’s best reporters (includingBeverly Smith, Walter Davenport, and Alva Johnston) and a characteristic story by each. Sixty-five years after its first publication, City Editor remains a lively, entertaining, and valuable record of the golden age of American journalism. |

Kim King’s Tales from the Georgia Tech Sideline $1.77 In Tales from the Georgia Tech Sideline, former Georgia Tech star quarterback Kim King shares stories from his unique half-century involvement with Yellow Jackets football. As a child growing up in Atlanta, King watched coach Bobby Dodd’s great Tech teams of the 1950s play in historic Grant Field. The Jackets were the team and sporting event in town, a social event on autumn afternoons well before major league professional sports came to Atlanta in the ’60s. A highly recruited high school quarterback, King went to Tech and became the star quarterback from 1965-67. The Young Left-Hander, as late Tech radio announcer Al Ciraldo called King, led the Jackets to two bowl games, including the 1967 Orange Bowl. He was Bobby Dodd’s last quarterback and one of Dodd’s all-time favorite players. The Hall of Fame coach retired after the 1966 season. King’s involvement with Tech football did not end with his graduation. In 1974 he joined Ciraldo in the radio booth as Tech’s color commentator. King has seen and called it all for the last three decades. In the book he details Tech’s struggles after Dodd’s retirement; the colorful and turbulent Pepper Rodgers years; Bill Curry’s painful first coaching steps back at his alma mater before restoring Tech to prominence in the mid-’80s; and the two awful seasons Bobby Ross endured before the historic 1990 breakthrough, culminating in Georgia Tech’s fourth national championship. Following Bill Lewis’s disastrous tenure in the early ’90s, George O’Leary revived Tech football yet again before his controversial departure for Notre Dame led to Chan Gailey’s arrival on The Flats. King was in frigid Boise, Idaho, last January, when P.J. Daniels ran wild in theHumanitarian Bowl once an overnight snowfall had been plowed from the field. In routing Texas-El Paso, Georgia Tech regained its status as the winningest bowl team in college football. Kim King has seen many of those bowl victories and nearly all of the last 50 years of Tech football. H |

Last Dance $1.01 From the Publisher: The Final Four is the Holy Grail. We all talk about how we shouldn’t judge our careers on making the Final Four or on winning it, but every single one of us wants to be there. –Coach Gary Williams, University of Maryland (1989-present) When college basketball teams make it to the NCAA tournament, they say they’re going to the dance. John Feinstein’s riveting new book is the story of the last dance — the Final Four. There is no event in sports quite like it. The Final Four draws millions to their televisions and thousands to a chosen city — attendance is topped only by the Super Bowl. It is the epicenter of sports madness, a circus of media, coaches, and fans swirling around the four teams talented enough to have made it to the end. Tracking the four teams in 2005′s Final Four — Michigan State’s Spartans, the University of Louisville’s Cardinals, the University of Illinois’s Fighting Illini, and the University of North Carolina’s Tar Heels — John Feinstein tells the story of a definitive and dramatic tournament. Here are the stories of UCLA’s John Wooden, UNC’s Dean Smith, and Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, telling of Final Four dynasties that defined the sport. Here are great players like Bill Bradley, Michael Jordan, Christian Laettner, and Sean May, who thought they’d never make it to college basketball’s final weekend. Here are the late nights at the coaches’ hotel, where careers are advanced (or not). Here are the players in the 2005 Final Four trying to practice, eat, rest, and play, knowing that they will be remembered by these games for the rest of their lives. Feinstein also conveys the inspiring stories of the people behind the scenes who make the madness possible: the officials and referees who walk a tightrope in an effort to keep the tournament fair, the scouts and ticket scalpers along the edges, and the photographers and reporters whose passion for the tournament goes far beyond th |

Sam Ricce $32.55 In the history of sports, few comeback stories compare to that of Edgar Charles Rice better known as Sam. Away from home, trying out for a low-level minor league team, Sam Rice received a telegram on an April morning that would turn his world upside down: his wife, mother, both of his children and two younger siblings had been killed by a tornado. A few days later, his father died from injuries suffered in the tornado, as well. By the time he reached the major leagues three years later with the Washington Senators, Rice apparently had buried his past deep inside. He never spoke of the tragedy publicly while embarking on a career in which he would amass 2,987 base hits, 13 hits short of one of baseballs most hallowed milestones. In this moving biography, Jeff Carroll explores the great achievement and tragedy of a Hall of Fame outfielder and Washington Senators favorite. |
