    Jack the Ripper was an unknown serial killer active in the mainly poor parts around the Whitechapel district of London in the year 1888. In both the criminal case files and modern journalistic books, the killer was referred to as the Whitechapel Killer and Leather Apron. 
    He caused quite some havoc, going after some of the most impoverished neighborhoods and killing victim after victim, without ever being found. The British police was dumbstruck and carried out multiple investigations, coming up with various suspects but never able to pinpoint who did it or why. With about 1200 women working as prostitutes in the Whitechapel district at the time, it must have been a special interest of the murderer to pursue and prey on these less fortunate ladies. The removal of intestines and genitalia, as well as facial mutilations were characteristics of this vicious criminal. If that doesn’t give you nightmares, then I don’t know anymore. 
    Find out more about how this gruesome man terrorized the districts of London in the late 19th century.

    From the deaf baseball legend and MLB Ambassador for Inclusion, a powerful anthem of ability diversity and overcoming the odds for readers of Nyle DiMarco’s Deaf Utopia and sports memoirs such as Imperfect by Jim Abbott, Des Linden’s Choosing to Run, and Limitless by Mallory Weggemann. 
      
    FOREWORD BY NATIONAL BASEBALL HALL OF FAME MEMBER CAL RIPKEN, JR.  
      
    On a September night in Montreal in 1993, Curtis Pride got his first Major League hit, prompting a long, emotional standing ovation from the crowd of 45,757 fans. Profoundly deaf since birth, Pride couldn’t hear their thunderous applause. But as the cheers grew louder and more insistent, he realized he was feeling those vibrations within his chest—an undeniable acknowledgment of an extraordinary achievement. 
      
    Pride went on to play in 420 more major-league games over eleven different seasons with the Montreal Expos, Detroit Tigers, Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Angels, and New York Yankees. He was then hired as head baseball coach at Gallaudet, the world’s leading university for deaf and hard of hearing students, and was also named Major League Baseball’s Ambassador for Inclusion. Pride has received countless national and local awards for his achievements and his service in inspiring and educating others. 
      
    With candor, warmth, and humor, Pride writes from the heart in I Felt the Cheers. From the first time he played T‑ball at age six and got a couple of hits, he dreamed of playing in the major leagues. No matter how unlikely it seemed, or how much skepticism he faced from teammates or coaches, Pride stayed resolute. Far from it being a disadvantage, he came to see that his deafness could sometimes be a secret weapon, forcing him to use senses that other players take for granted. 
      
    Curtis’s personal journey is unique, but his message is a powerful, universal one, sure to resonate deeply with everyone who has faced difficult challenges. I Felt the Cheers is living proof that dreams can come true, no matter how impossible they seem.
