  A freewheeling memoir of baseball, journalism, and New York spanning over 50 years of America's pastime 
    
  Before he'd covered dozens of World Series; before he'd written about countless hirings, firings, superstars, and scandals, Bill Madden was a cub reporter on one of his first assignments at Yankee Stadium—and manager Ralph Houk had just gone out of his way to spit tobacco juice all over Madden's shoes. “That’s Ralph’s way with rookie writers he doesn’t recognize,” came the explanation. “He doesn’t mean anything by it.”  
    
  So began a Hall of Fame scribe's career, as detailed in this clear-eyed memoir. With verve and candor, Madden reflects on five decades of triumphs, misadventures, and unforgettable characters. 
    
  From Jackie Robinson to Aaron Judge; from newsrooms filled with hundreds of teletype machines droning like an army of cicadas to the sleek yet ruthless digital age, keen baseball fans will devour these tales of America's pastime against the backdrop of a rapidly changing media and cultural landscape.

  Traveling can often disrupt our usual routines, and one of the first things many people sacrifice while on the go is fitness. However, staying active during your travels is not only possible, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. Fitness on the go is about making small adjustments to your routine that allow you to maintain your health, improve your energy, and help you stay balanced no matter where you are. This chapter will explore the benefits of staying fit while traveling, how to overcome common barriers, and how to set realistic fitness goals while on the move. 
  Fitness during travel is not just about physical health; it’s also about mental well-being. Engaging in regular exercise can help reduce the stress and anxiety that often accompany travel, especially with tight schedules, time zone changes, or unfamiliar environments. Staying active releases endorphins, the body’s natural stress relievers, helping you stay relaxed and focused. Moreover, travel workouts can improve your sleep quality and keep your energy levels high, making your trip more enjoyable and productive. 
  It’s common to feel that travel presents too many obstacles to exercising—whether it's lack of time, lack of access to a gym, or exhaustion from a busy schedule. However, by rethinking what exercise can be, these barriers become more manageable. Many exercises can be done anywhere with minimal to no equipment, and even short, effective workouts can help you stay on track. By identifying your personal challenges and addressing them head-on, you’ll realize that even in the most hectic travel days, a quick workout is achievable.

  Peak performance is the state in which an athlete performs at the highest possible level, maximizing their physical, mental, and emotional potential. It’s not just about physical ability; it’s about the integration of mind and body working in harmony to achieve excellence. Whether in elite sports or personal goals, reaching peak performance requires a deep understanding of one’s strengths, weaknesses, and the effort required to reach new heights. 
  The concept of peak performance goes beyond just winning. It’s about consistently performing at a level that exceeds the average, often under pressure, with focus, endurance, and determination. To perform at this level, athletes need to cultivate resilience and adaptability, continuously evolving their training and mindset. The science of peak performance includes elements such as mental toughness, discipline, strategy, and recovery. It’s a holistic approach that recognizes the critical role both the physical and psychological components play in success. 
  An athlete must understand their body and its needs, the optimal training practices that push their limits while preventing burnout, and how to remain mentally focused through challenges. The key to maintaining peak performance involves not just physical preparation but also mental preparation. Elite athletes recognize the importance of mental training—visualization, confidence, and managing stress are all integral parts of an athlete’s journey to peak performance.

  Burke Masters had the perfect game plan for his life: he was going to become a Major League Baseball player. As a star infielder for Mississippi State with a game-winning grand slam to help his team reach the College World Series, he was well on his way to the career of his dreams. But little did he know that his life-changing call would not be from a recruiter to join the Major Leagues—it would be from God to become a priest.   In this page-turning memoir, Fr. Burke takes readers on an intimate personal journey—from his childhood outside of Chicago, to his success in baseball, to his conversion to Catholicism, and finally, to his acceptance of his vocation. Amid severe doubt and personal loss, he learned to embrace his fundamental identity—not as an athlete, but as a beloved son of God and a spiritual father to God’s people. Fr. Burke’s story is a powerful reminder that God’s plan for us is so much greater than our own; that it fulfills our dreams in ways greater than we could have imagined; and that if we only have the courage to say yes, every moment is an opportunity for a grand slam for God.
