Rugby is more than just a sport; it is a culture, a community, and a way of life for millions of players and fans around the world. With roots tracing back to 19th-century England, rugby has grown into a global phenomenon, celebrated for its unique blend of physicality, strategy, and sportsmanship. 
The origins of rugby can be traced to the town of Rugby, where a young William Webb Ellis allegedly picked up a soccer ball and ran with it, creating the foundation for what would become one of the most dynamic sports in history. Over time, rugby evolved into two primary codes: Rugby Union and Rugby League, each with its own rules and characteristics, yet sharing the same core principles of teamwork and respect. 
One of rugby's defining traits is its emphasis on inclusivity and diversity. Regardless of size, skill level, or experience, there is a position on the rugby field for everyone. The game thrives on the interplay between different roles, with each player contributing uniquely to the team's success.

Gibby - Tales of a Baseball Lifer

John Gibbons, Greg Oliver

A captivating and candid memoir from one of the most beloved and colorful figures in Toronto Blue Jays history
		 
Over 11 years and two separate managerial stints with the Toronto Blue Jays, John Gibbons endeared himself to fans with his folksy manner and his frequent battles with umpires: “Here comes Gibby!” Winning helped too. Under Gibbons’s management, the Jays made the American League Championship Series in 2015, ending a 22-year playoff drought; then they did it again in 2016. Along the way the team defied odds, won over a nation, and with one flip of a bat produced one of the most iconic moments in MLB history. Now, in his memoir, Gibby shares the story: an on-field career that didn’t pan out, but a managing career that did … eventually.
		 
Raised in a military family, he played his first competitive baseball in Newfoundland and Labrador, and, with the family now in San Antonio, Texas, Gibby, a catcher, developed into a first-round draft pick of the New York Mets. While Gibbons only played 18 major league games, he did earn a World Series ring as the 1986 Mets bullpen catcher and knew all the characters from that team, including Doc Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, Lenny Dykstra, and Gary Carter. In 1990, Gibby began his journey as a coach and manager. An old teammate, J.P. Ricciardi, hired him to work with the Jays, and he moved his way up the ranks and into the hearts of baseball fans.
