“With its personal feel and near-mystical quality, this highly recommended work will mesmerize baseball lovers and casual fans.” Library Journal, Starred Review A behind-the-scenes look at baseball history, as told through timeless interviews with major leaguers For fifty years, bestselling author Peter Golenbock has been interviewing some of the most fascinating figures in baseball. Their conversations are a journey back in time to the days of Ruth and Gehrig, Gehringer and Greenberg, Robinson and Reese, and Howard and Mantle, as they reflect on the sport’s greatest moments and biggest issues. In Baseball Heaven, Golenbock brings together for the first time the most historic and captivating of these conversations. The stories range from Elden Auker remembering the day Lou Gehrig told him he was sick to Albert Happy Chandler reflecting on his decision to allow Jackie Robinson into the big leagues, from Ralph Branca discussing the home run he gave up that cost the Dodgers the pennant to Del Webb talking about why he hired Casey Stengel and why he fired him. Baseball Heaven is baseball history at its very best. It pulls back the curtain on the major leagues to reveal inside stories, intimate reminiscences, and the friendships and rivalries that make baseball America’s Game.

A rare treasure, BASEBALL HEAVEN is actually two books in one. As a photographic work, BASEBALL HEAVEN stands out as a stunning collection of lustrous black & white images; haunting, romantic, surreal. A photographer for 15 years, Mr. Atkins has a keen, well-developed eye, singular in its artistic vision. The photography of BASEBALL HEAVEN stands on its own among artistic works past & present. The photographic insert is a visual element of a visual novel. The artwork is mated with a screenplay, a concept rarely, if ever, recognized. The photographs reflect the mood of the screenplay, visual cues used to stimulate the mind's eye; a companion piece to the story. And what a story: A coach's romantic involvement with a young girl/child, while a female colleague gains awareness. The story takes flight in California, landing somewhere in the arid highlands of Northern New Mexico. The relationships develop, as intriguing as they are unsettling. A scandal, a mystery, BASEBALL HEAVEN is a beautiful dream. It's not about baseball. To order contact: George Atkins, Lux Fiat Press, PO Box 14626, Berkeley, CA, 94712-4626.

For nearly two decades Alan Trammell displayed an all-around game as a fielder, hitter, and base runner that was rare for shortstops of his era. With second baseman Lou Whitaker, he formed one-half of arguably the greatest double-play combination in baseball history and was an integral piece of one of the signature teams of the 1980's. Trammell was a World Series hero and a central figure in one of the greatest pennant races in American League history. From his early days as a multi-sport prep star in the talent-rich San Diego area, through a meteoric ascension up the minor league ladder and into the big leagues, Trammell won over doubters and overcame setbacks to become one of the top players in the Detroit Tigers' history. He joined Ty Cobb and Al Kaline as the only players to spend 20 seasons in Detroit, and later served an ill-fated managerial stint with the franchise. This exhaustively researched biography provides the first book-length account of the life and career of one of the most well-known figures in Detroit sports history.

The story of California baseball doesn't start in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Oakland, or Anaheim. It starts in the very heart of the Central Valley, in the capital city of Sacramento. It was here that the first complete game of baseball in state history took place in 1860, the same year Abraham Lincoln was elected President and the Pony Express was established. At decade's end, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, the first professional team in baseball history, came to town in September 1869 for a historic (albeit lopsided) exhibition game against local amateur players. From thereon, Sacramento continued to pioneer the game's evolution in California long before Major League Baseball arrived in the late '50s. It was in the River City that the first Pacific Coast League game was played in 1903, a league that forever reshaped minor league baseball and still operates today. That game was also the beginning of the Sacramento Senators, who would become the much-loved local team and brought night baseball to the minors. After changing their name to the Solons, they reached their golden age when Branch Rickey's St. Louis Cardinals brought them into their game-changing farm system. It all culminated with their 1942 PCL pennant victory, a story right out of a picturesque baseball movie. After the decline and departure of the Solons by 1961, Sacramento baseball remained dormant for decades, save for two Giants-Indians exhibition games in 1964 and a short-lived second version of the Solons in the '70s. The story continues to this very day, thankfully, with the River Cats winning just as much as they create major league-ready talent almost every year since 2000. The book ends with two more vital chapters. The first profiles 50 of the most notable MLB players, managers and coaches with a connection to the River City, among them Dusty Baker, Steve Sax, Larry Bowa, Brad Lidge, the Forsch Brothers, and Josh Donaldson. The second, and final, chapter regales the magical story of local hero Ron King, who went from Solons ball boy to award-winning scout for the Dodgers and Pirates. "The Hidden History of Sacramento Baseball" is an assiduously researched, passionately written look at the entire sweep of this vital yet overlooked story. The miraculous pennant victories, the heartbreaking losses, the bottom-feeding last place seasons, the ambitious owners, the bucolic stadiums, the fascinating in-between exhibitions, the dozens of elite players and coaches from the area...it's all here.

BASEBALL IS AMERICA explores America's Pastime through a trilogy of books: "A Child of Baseball" bats leadoff. Baseball, the bellybutton of society is a metaphor for America, acting both as its direction and reflection. Baseball is America, America is baseball. American history, embracing its religious past as a Christian nation, and baseball history, including its synthetic enhancement precedent, is traced through a tapestry of time in a life story format. Born into the Glory Days of New York baseball in 1955, baseball provides the author both identity and meaning. Narrative backdrops track both Reds and Yankee baseball, making historic stops over a 100+ year timeline. A 40+ year playing career is traced from 1962 Edison Little League through 2005 Roy Hobbs World Series in Edison's winter home (Fort Myers). Symbolism, baseball-speak, numerology, simile, nickname, euphemism and metaphor applications create a thought provoking and intriguing word sleuth effect exploring topics deep down in places we don't talk about at parties. Satire and cynical humor stragically integrated buffers acid discussion of controversial issues. Sixties youth ball is viewed and described through a Garden State lens. Seventies ball scenery drastically switches to the Sooner State while the 80's, 90's and new millenium take on a Lone Star State flavor with Space City the focal point. Pop culture, American history (including its Christian nation history) is tactically incorporated into the read. Baseball remains the only venue in America where religion can be pitched into public square casual conversation without being debased as a "nut-job" or being shown the door. The read displays no reservations of informally discussing topics from both Creator-based and man-based religious perspectives. The events surrounding the 1919 World Series, that the Reds accidentally won, are retold through the lens of a Cincinnati native who actually voted present, the author's grandpa.
