    Opening Day is the biggest regular season baseball game of the year. Michael Ortman never missed it, not once, for 50 years. Opening Day: 50-for-50 is a baseball tribute like no other—a well-researched work of love representing a half-century of great stories and historical context linked to each of those 50 days. This emotional journey connects three cities, six stadiums, five home teams, and four generations while overcoming life events, baseball’s labor unrest, and the 33-year absence of a hometown team. Along the way, Ortman encountered five U.S. Presidents and more than 50 future Hall of Fame players, coaches, and broadcasters: from Reagan to Obama, Robinson to Scherzer, Weaver to Torre, Caray to Kalas and hundreds more.

    Gradually going blind in his twenties, Rich Ruffalo refused to face reality. And then, one rainy evening, unable to make sense of the road before him, he suddenly felt his car thud against a little girl. 
Jolted into reality, Ruffalo refused to be knocked down and, instead, put his all into achieving. As a teacher, he excelled, winning Princeton University’s Distinguished Secondary School Teacher of the Year Award and then Disney’s Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award. 
Then he set the bar even higher. Competing in the Paralympics, he aimed to medal in three field events. With focus and determination, he achieved his goal—and then some. Ruffalo won bronze, silver, and gold medals, earned world titles, set nine world records, and even won championships against sighted athletes. 
Sometimes humorous, always insightful, Ruffalo’s heartfelt The Ruff Road to Glory demonstrates the infinite possibilities for everyone. Ruffalo inspires each one of us to persevere, regardless of our circumstances. With faith in God, ourselves, and the unlimited potential of the human spirit, we will triumph. We too can grasp the gold.

    ‘The game isn’t what it seems from the outside. The game isn’t quite what I was expecting. The game doesn’t always work like the people on television think it does. The game is better, worse and stranger than you can imagine, and that is coming from someone who saw it all with their own eyes.’ 
Ever wondered what really goes on inside a Premier League dressing room, what it’s like to train under Roy Hodgson, Roberto Mancini and Fabio Capello – and what happens when you kick a sandwich at one of them? 
When it comes to football, former Manchester City and England star Micah Richards has seen it all – and laughed about most of it. In The Game, Micah shares his funniest and frankest stories from on and off the pitch, be it arriving at his first England training session with two left boots, attempting to supervise the infamous Mario Balotelli or winding up Roy Keane on Super Sunday. From how he spent his first Premier League paycheque and how he prepared – financially and mentally – for the day they stopped coming, to the euphoria of lifting the Premier League trophy and the physical and emotional impact of injury, Micah reflects openly on the many wins and losses in professional football. 
Full of Micah’s signature cheeky wit, this intimate, unmissable memoir goes behind the scenes of the beautiful game and a remarkable life and career. 
In this riveting autobiography, Micah Richards delves into the personal growth he experienced in the world of soccer, a sport that is as much a performing art as it is a recreation. His journey to success, filled with both wins and losses, is a testament to his resilience and determination. 
For fans of Peter Crouch (How to Be an Ex-Footballer), Ian Wright (A Life in Football), Guillem Balagué (Maradona), Gary Neville (The People's Game), and Mark Noble (Boleyn Boy).
