Eddie and the Gun Girl , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 102min
Eddie and the Gun Girl is the true story of the shooting of Philadelphia Phillies All-Star first baseman Eddie Waitkus by a deranged female admirer in 1949. While such incidents would become commonplace in ensuing years, as stars of every persuasion would surround themselves with bodyguards and live in increasing fear of unannounced assailants, the events of that June 14 at the elegant Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago were unprecedented. A study of the phenomenon of celebrity stalking by the United States Secret Service years later cited the unprovoked assault on Eddie by young Ruth Steinhagen as ground zero in the age of the obsessed fan. In a superbly sculpted tale of surpassing human resolve that plays on the edge of myth, Mark Kram, Jr., whose book Like Any Normal Day was selected as the winner of 2013 PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing, walks us back to the world that Eddie and Ruth inhabited in the 1940s and 1950s. Fictionalized by Bernard Malamud in his classic baseball yarn, The Natural, which would be later adapted for the 1984 film starring Robert Redford, this lurid crime drew together two strangers whose lives intersected in a blaze of insanity that changed them both forever. Ruth would become steeped in the guesswork that attended the treatment of psychological illness during that era. Eddie would stage a courageous comeback with the help of a young woman he fell in love with on Clearwater Beach. America was held spellbound as the story of Eddie and the so-called Gun Girl unfolded. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bronson Pinchot.

Great Home Runs of the 20th Century , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 376min
The home run is the single most dramatic moment in baseball. Often it has been the exclamation point that appears at the end of a game, a season, a playoff, or a World Series. For fans, certain images such as that of Carlton Fisk urging his shot fair over Green Monster or of Kirk Gibson limping around the bases are engraved in memory. From Babe Ruth to Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, the author tells of the stories of what he has selected as the thirty most memorable home runs. Many of the stories include comments from the author's interviews with home run hitters. Other sections cover sixty additional noteworthy home runs, All Star Game home runs, and milestones such as total home run production and grand slams. In Rich Westcott's journey through baseball history, fans will encounter the most famous moments and longest blast, as well as fascinating sidelights like these about balls that didn't travel as far. Who won a home run title without hitting a single ball out of the park? Who hit the first inside-the-park home run in a World Series game? Who hit the shortest home run, one that failed to reach the pitcher's mound? Ty Cobb won the title in 1909 with nine inside-the-park home runs. Casey Stengel for the New York Giants in 1923. Andy Oyler of the Minnesota Millers scored on a two-foot drive into a mud puddle in front of home plate during a game in 1900. Currently, Westcott teaches sports writing at LaSalle University and is an official scorer at Phillies games. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary L. Willprecht.

Ballpark Mysteries combine baseball action with exciting whodunits for early chapter-book listeners! This collection includes: Ballpark Mysteries #6: The Wrigley Riddle: Ivy-covered walls--they're the most famous part of the Chicago Cubs' historic ballpark, Wrigley Field. Mike and Kate can't wait to get down on the field to see the ivy for themselves. But when they do, they're horrified to discover patches of the ivy have been ripped away! Who would want to sabotage the stadium? Ballpark Mysteries #7: The San Francisco Splash: Splash! A hit soars over the walls of the San Francisco ballpark on the bay and drops into the water.

And when he's pulled from the water, the old-time ballplayer discovers his World Series ring is gone! Ballpark Mysteries #8: The Missing Marlin: Mike and Kate are in Miami, visiting Kate's Uncle Oliver--and the Miami Marlins ballpark, of course!

House of Nails: A Memoir of Life on the Edge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 511min
Tough, straight, upsetting, and strangely beautiful. One of the best sports autobiographies I've ever read. It comes from the heart. (Stephen King) Eclipsing the traditional sports memoir, House of Nails, by former world champion, multimillionaire entrepreneur, and imprisoned felon Lenny Dykstra, spins a tragicomic tale of Shakespearean proportions - a relentlessly entertaining American epic that careens between the heights and the abyss. Nicknamed "Nails" for his hustle and grit, Lenny approached the game of baseball - and life - with mythic intensity. During his decade in the majors as a center fielder for the legendary 1980s Mets and the 1990s Phillies, he was named to three All-Star teams and played in two of the most memorable World Series of the modern era. An overachiever known for his clutch hits, high on-base percentage, and aggressive defense, Lenny was later identified by his former minor league roommate, Billy Beane, as the prototypical "Moneyball" player in Michael Lewis' best seller. Tobacco stained, steroid powered, and booze and drug fueled, Nails also defined a notorious era of excess in baseball. Then came a second act no novelist could plausibly conjure: After retiring, Dykstra became a celebrated business mogul and investment guru. Touted as "one of the great ones" by CNBC's Jim Cramer, he became "baseball's most improbable postcareer success story" (The New Yorker), purchasing a $17.5-million mansion and traveling the world by private jet. But when the economy imploded in 2008, Lenny lost everything. Then the feds moved in: Convicted of bankruptcy fraud (unjustly, he contends), Lenny served two and a half harrowing years in prison, where he was the victim of a savage beating by prison guards that knocked out his front teeth. The Daily Show's Jon Stewart, channeling the bewildered fascination of many observers, declared that Lenny's outrageous rise and spectacular fall was "the ungekürzt. Language: English.
