From 1985 to 1992, The Baseball Hall of Shame series chronicled more than 100 years of baseball goofs and gaffes, selling more than 700,000 copies. Now, the authors of the most offbeat baseball books ever written are back, featuring their looniest lineup of classic stories and inducting their first new class of Hall of Shamers in twenty years. Bruce Nash and Allan Zullo cover everything from the battiest batters and craziest fielding fiascoes to the dumbest ballpark promotions and screwiest fan behavior. Hall of Shamers include outfielder Lou "The Mad Russian" Novikoff, who insisted his wife taunt him from the stands because it made him a better hitter... Pitcher Burleigh Grimes, who was so mean that he threw a beanball at the on-deck hitter... Outfielder Ping Bodie, who out-ate Percy the ostrich for the spaghetti-eating championship of the world... and Babe Ruth, who wore ladies' silk stockings for good luck. Among the new inductees are Ken Griffey Jr., who put a cow in manager Lou Piniella's office to pay off a steak dinner bet... Manny Ramirez, who abandoned left field to go to the bathroom during a game... and David "Big Papi" Ortiz, whose underwear was smeared with peanut butter as payback for the pranks he pulled on teammates. Filled with more than 200 stories and packed with photos, The Baseball Hall of Shame: The Best of Blooperstown is the most hilarious homage to the national pastime ever assembled, and a fitting testament to the Hall's motto: "Fame and shame are part of the game."

It is a troubling reality to us that a great number of youngsters and parents that we have encountered have no sense of direction, and finds it difficult to make positive decisions in order to script a successful destination. Many seem to have no sense of who they are, where they want to go with their lives, or how to get there. They give the impression of being totally in charge, but in essence, they are confused. They are off to somewhere, to another world perhaps, but not a world of reality where they can feel the delights of a successful life. Life Maps Legacy series are offered to help youngsters, as well as adults, gain a focus on how to use a strategic plan of action for the successful achievement of their lifes destiny. It purports that destiny is a choice, and that to secure a positive destiny, one needs to follow a map of at least fourteen dynamic steps. Without a map, one can expect all kinds of distractions and dysfunctions, which will ultimately lead to destruction.

Kid, youd better get home... your parents are going to be looking for you. Dont you know its getting late and dark? Get home, kid! It was getting late, and I was shooting by the light of the moon, but I was forty years old, and my parents turned me loose many years ago. I may have looked like a kid who should be out getting ready for a trick-or-treat journey, but I was on a basketball mission -- and when I told the concerned visitors that I would be OK for the night, and that I was over forty, they were a bit shocked.
