Casey at the Bat , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 4min
One of America’s favorite pastimes is baseball, and “Casey at the Bat,” one of the most famous poems in American history, captures the excitement of the game from start to finish! Tension is high that day in the typical late 19th century town of Muddville. We enter the 9th inning, the team is behind by two runs, and things are looking grim for the win unless by some miracle the infamous Casey can get up to bat and possibly save the day. The fans are cheering, the crowd is on alert, and hope abounds as the mighty Casey takes his position at the plate. Written by Ernest Thayer and first published in the San Francisco Examiner on June 3, 1888, "Casey At the Bat", narrated by Kathy Poelker, presents the roar of the crowd, the calls of the umpire, and the total thrill of the game! ungekürzt.

As They See 'Em: A Fan's Travels in the Land of Umpires , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 808min
Millions of American baseball fans know, with absolute certainty, that umpires are simply overpaid galoots who are doing an easy job badly. Millions of American baseball fans are wrong.

Bruce Weber, a New York Times reporter, not only interviewed dozens of professional umpires but entered their world, trained to become an umpire, and then spent a season working games from Little League to big league spring training. As They See 'Em is Weber's entertaining account of this experience as well as a lively exploration of what amounts to an eccentric secret society, with its own customs, its own rituals, and its own colorful vocabulary. ungekürzt.

Brian Johnston: Johnners' Trivia Test Match, Hörbuch, Digital, 116min
Brian Johnston - aka ‘Johnners’ - the BBC’s long-time cricket commentator, is the umpire in this test of wit and general knowledge, as two teams try to score the highest number of runs under his watchful eye. In these four episodes, team captains Tim Rice and Willie Rushton are joined by Stephen Fry, Paul Merton, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer, Bill Tidy, Caroline Quentin, Bernard Cribbins, and Robin Bailey.

Can the batting team reach six questions (an ‘over’) before the other team gets a go? And there’s every chance that calls of ‘Howzat!’ or ‘Bouncer!’ can interrupt play.... With questions that include trivia and unusual facts, hear the stumps fly and the wickets fall in these four wonderful episodes. Brian Johnston, Tim Rice, and Willie Rushton feature in four classic episodes of the general knowledge quiz based on the rules of cricket. Language: English.
