Big Data Baseball: Math, Miracles, and the End of a 20-Year Losing Streak , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 510min
Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle was old school and stubborn. But after 20 straight losing seasons and his job on the line, he was ready to try anything. So when he met with GM Neal Huntington in October 2012, they decided to discard everything they knew about the game and instead take on drastic "big data" strategies. Going well beyond the number-crunching of Moneyball, which used statistics found on the back of baseball cards to identify market inefficiencies, the data the Pirates employed was not easily observable. They collected millions of data points on pitches and balls in play, creating a tome of reports that revealed key insights for how to win more games without spending a dime. They discovered that most batters struggled to hit two-seam fastballs, that an aggressive defensive shift on the field could turn more batted balls into outs, and that a catcher's most valuable skill was hidden. Hurdle and Huntington got to work trying to convince the entire Pirates organization and disgruntled fans to embrace these unconventional yet groundbreaking methods. All this led to the end of the longest consecutive run of losing seasons in North American pro sports history. The Pirates' 2013 season is the perfect lens for examining baseball's burgeoning big-data movement. Using flawless reporting, award-winning journalist Travis Sawchik takes you behind the scenes to reveal a game-changing audiobook of miracles and math. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Tulsa Massacre of 1921: The Controversial History and Legacy of America’s Worst Race Riot , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min
It all began on Memorial Day, May 31, 1921. Around or after 4:00 p.m. that day, a clerk at Renberg’s clothing store on the first floor of the Drexel Building in Tulsa heard a woman scream. Turning in the direction of the scream, he saw a young black man running from the building. Going to the elevator, the clerk found the white elevator operator, 17-year-old Sarah Page, crying and distraught. The clerk concluded that she had been assaulted by the black man he saw running a few moments earlier and called the police.Those facts are just about the only things people agree on when it comes to the riot in Tulsa in 1921. By the time the unrest ended, an unknown number of Tulsa’s black citizens were dead, over 800 people were injured, and what had been the wealthiest black community in the United States had been laid to waste.In the days after the riot, a group formed to work on rebuilding the Greenwood neighborhood, which had been all but destroyed. The former mayor of Tulsa, Judge J. Martin, declared, “Tulsa can only redeem herself from the country-wide shame and humiliation into which she is today plunged by complete restitution and rehabilitation of the destroyed black belt. The rest of the United States must know that the real citizenship of Tulsa weeps at this unspeakable crime and will make good the damage, so far as it can be done, to the last penny.”However, financial assistance would be slow in coming, a jury would find that black mobs were responsible for the damage, and not a single person was ever convicted as a result of the riot. Indeed, given that racist violence directed at blacks was the norm in the Jim Crow South, and accusations of black teens or adults violating young white girls were often accepted without evidence, people barely batted an eye at the damage wrought by the riot, which would remain largely overlooked for almost 70 years. Only in the last two decades have Oklahomans reckoned with this shameful episode in their his ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Platt.

Babe Ruth: The Life and Legacy of Major League Baseball's Most Famous Player , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 89min
“I only have one superstition: I make sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run.” (Babe Ruth)As one of America’s oldest and most beloved sports, baseball has long been touted as the national pastime, but of all the millions of people who have played it over the last few centuries, the first name that many associate with Major League Baseball is Babe Ruth, whose career spanned over 20 years on the way to becoming the sport’s biggest legend. The Bambino came onto the scene as a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, only to be infamously sold to the rival New York Yankees, where he went on to set records for most home runs (714), runs batted in (2,213), walks (2,062), slugging percentage (.690), and on-base plus slugging (1.164). The Sultan of Swat’s records would take decades to be surpassed, but he also managed to win more than 20 games as a pitcher for Boston, along with three World Series before heading to New York. Boston wouldn’t win another championship for over 80 years after Ruth’s departure, a drought famously referred to as “The Curse of the Bambino.”As if he wasn’t accomplished enough in Boston, Ruth went on to become a pop culture fixture in New York while playing 15 years for the Yankees on some of the sport’s most legendary teams. In addition to leading the Bronx Bombers to four World Series during his time there, Ruth set several single season and career records, elevating the team and MLB itself in ways that athletes could hardly dream of today. Ruth’s impact could be keenly felt in a 1922 article authored by Heywood Broun, "Cutting the Heart of the Plate,” which said of him, “No one ever requires more than one glance to identify Babe Ruth. Even a wholly ignorant person who had never heard of him would probably stop in wonder at the sight of Babe waddling by. It must be clear to all beholders that here is some great, primitive force harking back to the dim days of the race. William Jennings Bryan might well look upon the Bab ungekürzt. Language: English.

Becky the Bunny Wants Candy: Becky's Depravity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min, (USK 18)
Becky is tired of being a good girl and decides she's going to be as naughty as she can. In this case, that means dressing up like a very, very sexy bunny for Halloween. This 18-year-old decides that there's nothing she won't do, no degradation too big, and in this case that means using her mouth to clean up a filthy fat old man! Before long, she'll be giving this dirty old man the treat of his life, and he won't know what hit him! Warning: This audiobook contains very explicit descriptions of sexual activity during a barely legal sex encounter and includes anal rimming, oral sex, and rough sex. Only mature adults who won't find that content offensive should read this story. Here is a preview: Finally, an old man came to the door. His ragged bathrobe was dirty and stained, and he was obviously naked beneath the worn fabric. The man's protruding belly poked through the open robe. Becky looked at that round tummy with interest. It covered the man's cock and balls. She couldn't even see them down there beneath the flabby rolls of stinking flesh. She was intrigued. “What do you want?” he asked. “I want candy,” Becky said. She batted her long pink lashes at him. “Aren't you a little old to be asking for candy door to door?” He snarled at her, but she could see him staring at her gravity-defying breasts. She jiggled them a little and watched his eyes bounce up and down in time with her tits. “Aren't you a little fat to be keeping all the candy to yourself?” she countered.He started to shut the door in her face, but she swiftly stuck one pink stiletto over the door jamb. With her leg pushed out that way, the slit in her pink costume split open to reveal the slit in her pink pussy. Her cunt was on full display. It was just the way she liked it. The dirty man stopped pushing the door shut and let his gaze linger on her exposed cunt. He licked his lips. Becky took advantage of his distraction to let herself into the house. Once she ungekürzt.
