Why do we sometimes refer to a left-handed pitcher as a “southpaw?” Why are major league pitchers normally limited to 100 pitches per game? Why was Jack Roosevelt Robinson the first African-American ever to play as part of an official lineup for a team in Major League Baseball? Why is a baseball field sometimes referred to as a diamond? This book provides over 100 questions and detailed answers concerning the traditions, rules, and history of the national pastime. Organized by the sport’s five eras—Dead Ball, Live Ball, Golden Age, Expansion, and Steroid Era—it answers questions about hitting, pitching, fielding, base running, managing, scouting and ownership that vex even the most ardent fans of the game. Moreover, this book is an appreciation of how baseball’s traditions began.

Our journey through life is filled with the unexpected. We encounter unexpected joy, sorrow, trouble and pain. These are the experiences that shape us and make us the unique individuals we are today. We all struggle with our own personal demons, even though they may seem strange or insignificant to others. Pain is always lonely, whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, and no one except our Creator can fully understand. As we face the challenges of life, we come face to face with the need for something or someone greater than ourselves to sustain, guide and comfort us. Only when we fall before our mighty Creator and begin to comprehend his incredible power, love, and forgiveness, do we find what is missing and the huge hole in our heart and soul is filled. In this book we look into Jan's heart and share some of the pain and joy of her journey. It is her prayer that you, the reader, will see that our Heavenly Father is waiting with open arms to meet your every need as only He can. Even when we are not aware of His presences, or maybe don't even care, He is patiently waiting, seeking us and pulling us back to Him.

Sixteen-year-old Jasper Sinclair has one major regret. When his best friend Felix Morales kissed him in fifth grade, Jasper pushed him away and let Felix drift out of his life. Now, six years later, Jasper finally has the chance to make things right. But the sweet, dorky kid he remembers is now one of the sports gods of the school, with a girlfriend on his arm and a crowd of friends whose chief hobbies are soccer and homophobia. Reaching the boy he once knew won’t be easy, but with the help of the nicest guy he's ever met, Jasper hatches a plan to remind Felix of everything they used to share. When Operation Felix goes a little too well, Jasper is faced with a choice—embrace the lost love he’s been pining for all these years, or explore the new love that’s been growing right under his nose.

This is the story of an extraordinary boat journey that two men made for the fun of it. They rowed and sailed through pack ice, past glaciers and icebergs. They survived whales, polar bears, starvation and capsize. In doing so, they completed the first circumnavigation of the Arctic Island of Spitsbergen in an open rowing boat. Along the way they learned about themselves and about life, experienced a frozen wilderness that will most likely disappear before the century is out. This is a story for small-boat sailors, for lovers of ice and snow, and for anybody who wanted to run away to sea.

This book is an experiential analysis of over twenty modern religious/spiritual groups. The book is divided into two generic segments, inclusive of a tri-perspective experiential analysis using a variety of cult danger rating scales, and a more personal experiential description of the author's involvement in these groups, written in stream of consciousness essay form. The groups explored include controversial religious organizations such as Scientology and The Unification Church, as well as lesser known religious groups such as Conversations with God and Avatar, and also new age retreat centers such as Omega Institute for Holistic Studies and Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. The author describes both the dangers and benefits of various groups, and based upon his own experiences is able to rate these groups on a cult danger vs. spiritual benefits scale on a gradient from "high cult danger" to "favorable spiritual group."
