Bernie Williams by Cliff Mills Pdf

During his 16-year MLB career, Bernie Williams has helped bring four World Championships to the New York Yankees. Widely considered one of the best-hitting center fielders of all time, Williams is celebrated for being a fast and graceful fielder as well. Williams is Major League Baseball's all-time leader in postseason home runs (22) and runs batted in (80) and ranks second only to Lou Gehrig in career doubles by a Yankee with 534. And his talents go beyond the baseball field: an accomplished jazz guitarist and composer, Williams has an album, The Journey Within, and a writing contract with Paul McCartney's music publishing company under his belt. Baseball fans will be intrigued to learn about these and other fun facts in this colorful and inviting new biography of the multitalented Bernie Williams.

Bernie Williams by Kevin Kernan Pdf

Kevin Kernan looks at Bernie Williams' upbringing in Puerto Rico, and how the New York Yankees' star is able to appreciate all of the good things that have happened in his life because of baseball. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Williams' career up to now is that he has been able to maintain a low-key approach to baseball and life. Kernan shows how important that has been for him in the pressure-cooker atmosphere of New York City.

Leadoff Batters of Major League Baseball by Herman O. Krabbenhoft Pdf

Every sport has its subtleties, and in baseball, one subtlety is the batting line-up. Leadoff batters can make or break a team. Who are the men who have taken that position, and how have they performed in their important role? From 1900 through 2005, the major leagues' leadoff batters for more than 160,000 games are covered in this reference work. The first of the book's five parts discusses the annual records of the principal leadoff batters. Part Two identifies the principal leadoff batter for each team in each year, as well as the top career leadoff batters. Part Three presents composite statistics for those players with five or more principal leadoff batter seasons. Part Four looks at leadoff home runs, and Part Five offers essays on assorted leadoff batter achievements, such as RBIs, runs scored, and awards and honors. Appended to the text is a discussion of the accuracy of the statistics and a list of "Make It Happen" award winners.

Yankees by the Numbers by Bill Gutman Pdf

"In 1929, the Yankees became the first major league team to don numbers on their backs. Since then, they have issued 73 different numbers to more than 1,500 players. That's a lot of overlap. That also makes for a lot of good stories. "Yankees by the numbers" tells those stories for every Yankee since '29 -- from Earle Combs (the original #1) to Brian Bruney (the last Yankee to wear #99) -- provideing insightful and humorous commentary about the more memorable players, from a fan's perspective."--[P.] 4.

American Legion Baseball by William E. Akin Pdf

In the wake of the 1919 White Sox scandal and the suspension for life of eight players, baseball saw a precipitous decline in popularity, especially among America's youth. To combat this, a group of World War I veterans who were members of the newly formed American Legion created an organization to promote teenage interest in baseball. Led by John L. Griffith, who became the first commissioner of the Big Ten Conference, the Legion undertook the revival of baseball. In the 1920s and through the Great Depression and World War II, Legion baseball grew steadily. By 1950 it had become the principal training ground for major league players, boasting at its peak more than 16,000 teams across the country. Tracing the long history of this uniquely American institution, this work details each year's American Legion World Series and the ups and downs of participation over nearly a century.
