Seasons
in Hell: With Billy Martin, Whitey Herzog and "The Worst Baseball Team
in History"-The 1973-1975 Texas Rangers
by Mike Shropshire
Paperback from Bison Books
ISBN: 0803292775
Even before the start of spring
training, Herzog had said, If Rich Billings is the starting catcher again,
we're in deep trouble.' When that evaluation was passed along to Billings,
he simply nodded and said, Whitey, obviously, has seen me play.'"In early
1973, gonzo sportswriter Mike Shropshire agreed to cover the Texas Rangers
for the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram, not realizing that the Rangers
were arguably the worst team in baseball history. Seasons in Hell
is a riotous, candid, irreverent behind-the-scenes account in the tradition
of The Bronx Zoo and Ball Four, following the Texas Rangers
from Whitey Herzog's reign in 1973 through Billy Martin's tumultuous tenure.
Offering wonderful perspectives on dozens of unique (and likely never-to-be-seen-again)
baseball personalities, Seasons in Hell recounts some of the most
extreme characters ever to play the game and brings to life the no-holds-barred
culture of major league baseball in the mid-seventies |

Beyond
Belief: Finding the Strength to Come Back
by Josh Hamilton
Paperback from FaithWords
ISBN: 1599951606
Josh Hamilton was the first player chosen in the first round of the
1999 baseball draft. He was destined to be one of those rare "high-character
" superstars. But in 2001, working his way from the minors to the majors,
all of the plans for Josh went off the rails in a moment of weakness. What
followed was a 4-year nightmare of drugs and alcohol, estrangement from
friends and family, and his eventual suspension from baseball.
BEYOND BELIEF details the events that led up to the derailment. Josh
explains how a young man destined for fame and wealth could allow his life
to be taken over by drugs and alcohol. But it is also the memoir of a spiritual
journey that breaks through pain and heartbreak and leads to the spectacular
rebirth of his major-league career.
Josh Hamilton makes no excuses and places no blame on anyone other
than himself. He takes responsibility for his poor decisions and believes
his story can help millions who battle the same demons. "I have been given
a platform to tell my story" he says. "I pray every night I am a good messenger."
Also, as part of the paperback edition of BEYOND BELIEF, Josh's journey
has been updated to include developments in his recovery. |
