Remembrances of Swings Past: A Lifetime of Baseball Stories (Sports history)

In Remembrances of Swings Past: A Lifetime of Baseball Stories, you’ll read not only about legendary players, such as Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle, Cal Ripken, Jr., Ted Williams, Derek Jeter, Roberto Clemente and Yogi Berra, and seminal moments like Joe Carter and Carlton’s Fisk’s walk-off homers, Don Larsen’s perfecto and the longest game ever played, but also what it was like to bat against Bob Feller and Nolan Ryan, play a mascot at a minor-league game and be an extra in a baseball movie, starring Kevin Costner.

You’ll learn about the only woman in the Baseball Hall of Fame; the blind sports reporter who has covered games for six decades; the journeyman who survived a near-fatal bean ball; the wackiness of knuckleballers, and the power of baseball to connect generations and heal wounds.
