    The never before told story of the profound and compelling friendship between the two New York legends. 
     
     
     
    Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris are forever intertwined in baseball history thanks to the unforgettable 1961 season, when the two Yankee icons spurred each other to new heights in pursuit of Babe Ruth's home run record. History has largely overlooked the bond between the two men not as titans of their sport, but as people. 
     
     
     
    Guided by Tony Castro, bestselling author and foremost chronicler of Mantle, listeners will journey into history, from the Yankees' blockbuster trade for Maris, whose acquisition reignited Mantle's career after a horrendous 1959 season, to the heroics of 1961 and far beyond. 
     
     
     
    This dual biography is a thoroughly researched, emotionally gripping portrait that brings Yankees lore alive.

    Fitness motivation is a powerful driving force that pushes individuals to set goals, stay committed, and achieve their desired outcomes. It’s more than just a fleeting burst of enthusiasm – it’s a mindset, a lifestyle that can help you overcome obstacles and stay on track, even when the going gets tough. To truly harness the power of motivation, it’s important to first understand its role in the context of fitness. 
    At its core, the power of mindset is what separates those who achieve their fitness goals from those who struggle to stay on course. Fitness isn’t just about physical strength or endurance; it’s largely driven by mental resilience. A positive mindset allows you to focus on the process, rather than becoming discouraged by temporary setbacks or plateaus. Whether you're just starting out or you've been working on your fitness for years, developing a mindset that embraces challenges as opportunities is key to long-term success. 
    Equally important in understanding fitness motivation is overcoming mental barriers. Many people experience self-doubt, fear of failure, or the belief that they’re not capable of achieving their fitness goals. These thoughts can be crippling, but the good news is that they can be overcome. By reframing negative thoughts, setting small achievable goals, and focusing on your progress rather than perfection, you can gradually dismantle the mental barriers that stand in your way. Recognizing and confronting these barriers head-on is one of the most effective ways to stay motivated in your fitness journey.

    Rory Land - The Up-and-Down...

    Timothy M. Gay writes that four-time major champion Rory McIlroy is "golf's ageless Opie Taylor," a superstar whose charm transcends national boundaries and enlivens the game. His swing is so powerful that Tiger Woods is teaching his own son to mimic Rory's action. 
     
     
     
    But a charismatic persona and a pretty swing don't translate into winning championships. Rory has failed to win another major and fallen short of achieving the career Grand Slam. 
     
     
     
    He's become a lightning rod, getting into a smackdown at the '23 Ryder Cup and, after his betrayal by PGA Tour brass, causing confusion by going from an impassioned opponent of a deal with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf to an outspoken proponent. 
     
     
     
    McIlroy is from Northern Ireland, a geopolitical anomaly where religion and patriotism have been used as bloody cudgels. Both sides of his family were battered by the North's sectarian Troubles. 
     
     
     
    Rory is a man essentially without a country, which might explain why he's become so obsessed with the Ryder Cup. Gay argues that McIlroy has invented his own fiefdom, which the author has dubbed "RORY LAND." 
     
     
     
    Rory Land tells the saga of a compassionate superstar living in a world where "money has no conscience."

    Between Square Buttes is 35 short pieces that chronicle the American West over the last 50 years.  It is bird hunting, fly fishing, dog breeding, dog trialing, decline of habitat, loss of access, but mostly it is the story of the greatness that still exists in America today.  It started as a tribute to the last best place, Montana.  But in the end, it may be the beginning of the end of the last best place.  Told anecdotally, it brings to life the rivers, the plains, and the dogs that hunt these vast stretches of prairie.  And finally, it tells of the changes in land ownership in the West as more and more of it is being eaten up by developers and new landowners from all over the world who want a piece of it before it all goes away.  Revel in the rare beauty and incredible richness through the eyes and understanding of a man who has been there and done that.  Between Square Buttes will make you happy, make you sad, lift your spirit and break your heart as you follow the life of a serious fly fisherman and bird hunter who hunted and fished the best when it was the best and left the rest behind in search of more rivers, and newer land to hunt.
