    In the ninth book in the New York Times bestselling middle grade series inspired by the life of iconic New York Yankee Derek Jeter, Derek must learn how to be a team player from the dugout and the importance of taking care of his body. Seventh grade is off to a rocky start for Derek Jeter. But he's soon distracted by all that's going on in his own life…which includes basketball and baseball team responsibilities. He's talked about it with his parents, and he's certain he can play both sports while also doing well in school. Quickly, though, the two sports begin to take their toll, and Derek finds himself on the bench with an injury. How can Derek show his commitment to his teammates, his coaches, and the sports he loves when he can't actively participate? Inspired by Derek Jeter's childhood, Switch-Hitter is the ninth book in Jeter Publishing's New York Times bestselling middle-grade baseball series that focuses on key life lessons from Derek Jeter's Turn 2 Foundation.

    Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams: Baseball's Greatest Player and Baseball's Greatest Hitter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 392min
    Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams, distinct but similar-type players, were arguably baseball's greatest player and baseball's greatest hitter. In their first major league seasons, Joe scored a rookie-record 132 runs, and Ted drove home a rookie-record 145 runs. More than 70 years later, their records still stand. Joe should have batted .400 in 1939; Ted did hit .406 in 1941. Batting .412 in early September, the Clipper suffered a serious eye infection, and his average plummeted to 381, which was still 21 points higher than Jimmie Foxx, the runner-up hitter in the batting race. The year 1941 was a mystical one in baseball history. DiMag hit safely in a record 56 consecutive games. During Joe's sensational run, Ted out hit him, .412 to .406. Unbelievably, at the All-Star Game, Joe's streak stood at 48 consecutive games, and Ted was batting .404. You can believe that they got the attention of the other stars that year. Ted won Triple Crowns but not MVP awards in both 1942 and 1947. (There are two stories there.) Joe beat out Ted in the 1947 voting, 202 to 201. The Kid hit the game-winning walk-off home run in the 1941 All-Star Game. In the 1946 Mid-summer Classic, he got four hits, including two home runs, one of them the first ever four-base blast off Rip Sewell's celebrated "eephus ball" pitch. Early in 1947, co-owner Dan Topping of the Yankees and owner Tom Yawkey of the Red Sox agreed on an even-up trade of Joe for Ted. If it had been made, it would have altered baseball history considerably. Joe and Ted were known for their gallant comebacks. In his last three years (1949-1951), the Clipper returned from either injury or illness to lead the Yankees to three consecutive world titles. In his last three games of the 1951 World Series, his final one, he batted .545 with one home run and five RBI. In his last major league at bat, he doubled off the right center field wall at Yankee Stadium. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Troy Klein.

    Facing Ted Williams: Players from the Golden Age of Baseball Recall the Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min
    Relive the mystique of the purest hitter to ever play the game. "The Splendid Splinter", "Teddy Ballgame", "The Kid" - no matter the nickname, Ted Williams was one of the most accomplished hitters in baseball history. He was the last man to hit .400 in a single season, a 19-time All-Star, a two-time American League MVP, a two-time winner of the Triple Crown, and an inductee into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966...all while serving his country in World War II and the Korean War. Far from a conventional biography, Facing Ted Williams aims to offer a different perspective with testimonials from teammates and opponents alike, on how Williams was regarded among his peers. See Ted Williams through the eyes of pitchers struggling to put a fastball past his bat, the infielders and outfielders adjusting their positions in the hopes that they can fill the hole where a frozen rope might land, and the catchers strategizing a Williams at-bat, pitch-by-pitch. Facing Ted Williams provides riveting insights from many baseball legends, including Hall of Famer Bob Feller; 1956 World Series MVP Don Larsen; and 1952 American League MVP Bobby Shantz; as well as many others. Whether you’re a Red Sox fanatic, a casual baseball fan, or perhaps just an admirer of the fabled war hero and slugger, this book is sure to be a fresh and compelling look at this classic baseball icon. Much like Williams himself, Facing Ted Williams is sure to be a home run for all walks of baseball fandom. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dylan Lynch.

    I knew something was wrong the second she walked in the door tonight; I just couldn't put my finger on what it was. Same hair color. Same legs. Same face. Except...I look harder. At the small dimple beneath her lip that wasn't there the last time we went out. And her laugh - that laugh isn't as loud. This isn't the girl I've gone out with the past few weeks. It's her twin sister, and they've switched places on me. Only I'm not quite ready to let them switch back. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jacob Morgan, Erin Mallon.
