  Art Shamsky, 1969 New York Met and noted author, shares with listeners stories and anecdotes from his fifty-year association with the New York Mets. Through stories of varying lengths, listeners will be privy to behind-the-scenes and first-hand accounts of the New York Mets from lovable losers to impossible winners in 1969, and beyond, including stories about today's players. We witness the leadership of Tom Seaver, the steady hand of manager Gil Hodges, what it was like to share right field with charismatic Ron Swoboda, what it was like to grace a magazine cover with 1960s supermodel Lauren Hutton, in addition to a wealth of stories about the Mets, the organization, and its star players over the past half century.

  The Horse Lover's Miscellany -...

  All manner of equines helped build our roads, our villages, towns and cities. They were, for centuries, virtually the only means of getting ourselves and our goods from A to B. They became a part of our folklore and the subject of many an artist's painting. They went to war, tilled the land and brought in the harvest, carried us in sporting activities and nowadays often facilitate our enjoyment in leisure activities. The Horse Lover's Miscellany celebrates this thinking by including fascinating, amusing, quirky and practical information likely to be of interest to every weekend rider, horse owner (both aspiring and current) and enthusiastic equestrian. The author focuses on many aspects; from equine ancestry to equine epitaphs; from dressage to showjumping; carriage driving to ploughing matches; pony clubs to polo and much more besides. It's an eclectic mix of fact, moving tales of endurance in the harshest conditions, eccentricity, quotes, amusing anecdotes and 'I never knew that' snippets from both times past and the present day.

  A Grand Slam for God - A Journey...

  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.

  If “Top Gun: Maverick” or “Ford Versus Ferrari” kept your attention, “Go! The Bettenhausen Story” will keep you riveted.  What prompts these men to climb into small spaces and propel themselves at death defying speeds?  Subtitled “A Race Against A Dream,” this audiobook attempts to answer that question through the eyes of the Bettenhausen family, one of the greatest racing families in the history of the sport of automobile racing.  Whether a casual or passionate racing fan, you’ll be fascinated at the closeup of the racing industry as this book chronicles its growth from the 1930s to the 1980s through the eyes of patriarch Tony Bettenhausen and his three racing sons as they conduct “A Race Against A Dream.”As the author Carl Hungness writes, “It’s not the win at Indy the racers want, it’s the challenge.  The way of life.  It’s the feeling that can’t be conveyed until it’s experienced.  What makes the breed of man they call a race car driver tick?  Some respect them and others pity them.  Don’t pity them; they’ve seen the consequences.  They all think they’ll beat the odds.  For some, driving in the race is living and everything else is just waiting.  They’re more alive inside the car than out of it.”A very small percentage of humans will experience the peril and thrill of the Indy 500, an annual spectacle that fuels the dreams of men and women alike seeking the thunderous adrenaline rush that the race provides.  This audiobook dares to drive you close to experiencing “the aura surrounding the fervor for driving a race car.”  Buckle up- it’s quite a ride.

  A “brilliantly hilarious” and accessible guide to the rugby law book (Ben Shepherd). The laws of rugby are as extensive as they are confusing, their nuances and interpretations argued over relentlessly by rugby fans around the world and virtually impenetrable to those who are new to the game. In an effort to provide some much-needed clarity, Paul Williams takes an irreverent, hilarious, p*ss-taking tour through the labyrinth that is rugby’s rule book—or, for the pedantic, rugby’s law book. Hilarious, off-beat and (surprisingly) insightful, this is the perfect gift for rugby fans all around the world.Praise for Rugby Has F***ing Laws, Not Rules “This is great fun . . . you’ll learn about rugby’s laws with a big smile on your face. Made me chuckle lots.” —Rob Robertson, Daily Mail “The book I wish I’d written.” —Alex Payne, The Good, the Bad and the Rugby “A magnificent thing.” —Robbie Owen, Squidge Rugby “A light-hearted, jeering tour through the nuanced rules—sorry laws—of rugby union . . . as fun for the lifelong rugby fan as it is a genuinely helpful resource for someone new to the sport and its many law interpretations.” —Jessica Hayden, The Times “A very entertaining look at the laws, made me laugh out loud.” —James Hook
