The former big first baseman for the Minnesota Twins was one of the game's true characters, a throwback whose personal tastes were every bit as Ruthian as the monstrous homers for which he is remembered. Hrbek, who shares stories about the World Series-winning teams of 1987 and 1991, and teammates like Gary Gaetti, Tom Brunanasky, and Kirby Puckett, played the game with a passion seldom seen in modern sports, and brought fun and humor into the Twins clubhouse. This was a place where a manager had to ban the cleaning of fish in the trainer's room, and where practical jokes were commonplace.

EXCERPT: Pat Jones' Tales from the Oklahoma State Sidelines


Pat Jones' Tales from the Oklahoma State Sidelines
Pat Jones with Jimmie Tramel

DESCRIPTION
Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas were teammates at Oklahoma State in the 1980’s, when the Cowboys made history by producing three 10-win seasons in a five-year span. Pat Jones, who spent 11 seasons as Oklahoma State’s head coach, accumulated as many behind-the-scenes OSU football stories as Sanders and Jones accumulated yards. He shares his recollections in this book, which provides insight into one of the most exciting 10-year periods in Cowboy football history when the Cowboys caught lightning in a bottle.

Jack Ebling

DOUBLE-EXCERPT (Greenberg & Rogers):
http://www.sportspublishingllc.com/tigersexcerpt.cfm

DESCRIPTION
The Detroit Tigers are among baseball’s most celebrated franchises and dominated headlines in 2006 with an unexpected run to the playoffs. Four World Championships and five other World Series appearances are the result of some of the game’s greatest players having worn the old English “D.” Names like Cobb and Kaline, Greenberg and Gehringer, and Gibson and Trammell starred during their days as Tigers. Readers will delight to these old and new anecdotes about Detroit baseball lore, recalling players like pitchers Denny McLain and Mickey Lolich; the ’84 Tigers’ brilliant 35-5 start en route to a championship; and the 1999 finale at Tiger Stadium when nearly 200 of its former stars returned for one last hurrah.
