Racing to Victory - A...

Zane Ryder

Track and field is one of the oldest and most celebrated sports in human history, dating back to ancient civilizations. Rooted in the basic human movements of running, jumping, and throwing, it has evolved into a dynamic and diverse athletic discipline that tests physical prowess, mental resilience, and strategic thinking. This chapter provides an overview of the sport, its rich history, and the variety of events that make up its exciting landscape. 
The origins of track and field can be traced to the ancient Olympic Games in Greece, where events such as the stadion race—a short sprint—and the pentathlon captivated audiences. Over centuries, the sport expanded and adapted, becoming a cornerstone of modern athletics. Today, it encompasses a wide range of events, divided into three main categories: track events, field events, and combined events. 
Track events include sprints, middle-distance and long-distance races, hurdles, and relays. These races test speed, endurance, and teamwork, often decided by fractions of a second. Field events, on the other hand, showcase an athlete's power and precision. Competitors excel in throwing disciplines such as shot put, discus, and javelin, as well as jumping events like the long jump, high jump, triple jump, and pole vault. Combined events, such as the decathlon and heptathlon, require athletes to master a mix of track and field disciplines, demanding unparalleled versatility.

In Scoring Position - 40 Years...

Bob Ryan, Bill Chuck

Bob Ryan has scored every baseball game he's attended, at every level, since the start of the 1977 season. It's a deeply personal tradition still going strong at more than 1,400 games and counting. The tattered scorebooks he's filled are worn from age, travel, and countless summer days, but their grids and scrawled symbols tell the stories of milestones, rivalries, rare historic achievements, and more. In Scoring Position captures the incomparable spirit of baseball, with its infinite possibilities and madcap anomalies. Ryan, alongside baseball historian and statistician Bill Chuck, has scoured his scorecard archives for the most singular events—a switch-hitter being hit by a pitch from both sides of the plate in the same game; a player batting for the cycle off four different pitchers; even back-to-back pinch-hit home runs with two outs in the 9th. Featuring some of the game's biggest names and wildest scenarios, this is a fascinating romp through baseball history, exuding a pure zeal for this sport that fans of all teams will recognize in themselves.
