Sinossi

"Lacrosse Legends" offers a captivating journey through the evolution of North America's oldest team sport, skillfully weaving together the stories of influential players who shaped its transformation from sacred Native American tradition to modern competitive sport.The book uniquely bridges three centuries of lacrosse history, with particular focus on the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) nations' foundational role in creating what they reverently called "the Creator's game." Through meticulous research combining tribal oral histories, sports archives, and historical records, the narrative unfolds across three distinct periods: the sacred origins among indigenous peoples, the crucial transitional period (1850-1950) when the sport became formally organized, and the modern era's explosive growth.Readers discover how early Native American players served as both athletes and cultural ambassadors, while Canadian innovators established the first official rulebook, forever changing how the game would be played. The book's comprehensive approach examines both men's and women's lacrosse, analyzing not just the technical evolution of play but also the broader social implications of the sport's development. By combining scholarly research with engaging biographical narratives, it offers valuable insights for everyone from casual sports enthusiasts to serious players and coaches, while preserving the rich cultural heritage that makes lacrosse unique among North American sports.

Willie Horton: 23 - Detroit's...

Kevin Allen, Willie Horton, Jake...

A compelling autobiography from one of Detroit's favorite sons 
 
 
 
At fifteen, Willie Horton received his first contract offer to become a professional baseball player. At twenty, he smacked his first major-league home run. At twenty-four, Horton stood in full uniform on the hood of his car, in the midst of burning homes and overturned vehicles, and pleaded for an end to the violence of the 1967 Detroit riots. 
 
 
 
In this new autobiography, Horton shares the fascinating story of his life and career, from growing up in Detroit's Jeffries Projects as the youngest of twenty-one children to winning a World Series with his hometown Tigers in 1968. Horton also candidly discusses the opposition he faced as a Black player, his fond memories of Al Kaline, the joy he felt in returning to the Tigers as a front office executive, and the many ways he still tries to give back to Detroit and his community. 
 
 
 
By turns heartrending and hilarious, this timely chronicle is an essential contribution to baseball's written history.

Life Lessons On How To Become A...

Eric Simpson

This book was comprised from close to 40 years of involvement in the professional sports and media industry of one way or another and is written as a teaching guide...as we all need to go back to basics once in a while to try to understand why things are thought, said, and done by the other person. The lessons are about the relationships that go on in our everyday lives, and the intention is to present scenarios and for the listeners to put themselves in each of those different roles throughout the book to have a better understanding of what others go through on a daily basis. At the conclusion of each chapter, there is an assignment that presents questions as to how you may have reacted to certain situations or how you would react to them in the near future.
