Tris Speaker: The Rough-and-Tumble Life of a Baseball Legend , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 890min

Tris Speaker: The Rough-and-Tumble Life of a Baseball Legend is the first book to tell the full story of Speaker’s turbulent life and to document in sharp detail the grit and glory of his pivotal role in baseball’s dead-ball era. Playing for the Boston Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians in the early part of the 20th century, Tris “Spoke” Speaker put up numbers that amaze us even today: his record for career doubles - 792 - may never be approached, let alone broken. Tris Speaker explores the colorful life behind the statistics, introducing listeners to a complex and contradictory Texan whose cowboy mentality never left him as he brawled his way through two decades in the big leagues. Speaker’s career put him in the company of Ty Cobb and Christy Mathewson, Shoeless Joe Jackson, and Honus Wagner, and in describing it Timothy M. Gay gives a rousing account of some of the best baseball ever played - and some of the darkest moments that ever tainted a game and hastened the end of a career.The book is published by University of Nebraska Press.

HerTwenty-five years in captivity, never once seeing the world outside the yard of my captors' home. My chance at escape has finally shown its head. Risking my life, I run. I run into an unknown world of tall buildings, fast-moving vehicles, loud noises, and big, scary, biker riding men. I'm free…or so I thought. The life I ran from is quickly catching up. I’m being hunted by the man who thinks he owns me and wants me back. But I feel safe because I’m protected by the man who wants my heart. But what if that man is threatened by my past? Will I go back to a life of pain and captivity to save the man who truly owns me, heart and soul? Or, will I let him risk it all to protect me? Him As president of the Infernal Sons MC, everything I do is for my club; my brothers. That is, until the night a tiny, beautiful, shoeless woman runs into my life...literally. The little slip of a woman turns my life upside down. Someone is after her and I will do everything in my power to keep her safe. Because she is mine, and no one will ever touch her again. This woman could be the glue that holds my puzzled soul together. But, if I’m not careful, she could easily be the one who tears it apart. Warning Intended for readers 18 and older.

The Betrayal : The 1919 World Series and the Birth of Modern Baseball , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 689min

In the most famous scandal of sports history, eight Chicago White Sox players - including Shoeless Joe Jackson - agreed to throw the 1919 World Series to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for the promise of $20,000 each from gamblers reportedly working for New York mobster Arnold Rothstein. Heavily favored, Chicago lost the series five games to three. Although rumors of a fix flew while the series was being played, they were largely disregarded by players and the public at large. It wasn't until a year later that a general investigation into baseball gambling reopened the case, and a nationwide scandal emerged. In this book, Charles Fountain offers a full and engaging history of one of baseball's true moments of crisis and hand-wringing and shows how the scandal changed the way American baseball was both managed and perceived. After an extensive investigation and a trial that became a national morality play, the jury returned not-guilty verdicts for all of the White Sox players in August of 1921. The following day, Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis, baseball's new commissioner, "regardless of the verdicts of juries", banned the eight players for life. And thus the Black Sox entered into American mythology. Guilty or innocent? Guilty and innocent? The country wasn't sure in 1921, and as Fountain shows, we still aren't sure today. But we are continually pulled to the story, because so much of modern sport, and our attitude toward it, springs from the scandal. Fountain traces the Black Sox story from its roots in the gambling culture that pervaded the game in the years surrounding World War I through the confusing events of the 1919 World Series itself to the noisy aftermath and trial and illuminates the moment as baseball's tipping point. Despite the clumsy unfolding of the scandal and trial and the callous treatment of the players involved, the Black Sox saga was a cleansing moment for the sport. It launched the age of the baseball commissioner, as b ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Reed. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/026703/bk_adbl_026703_sample.mp3.
