Taken for granted by fans today, Sunday baseball was made possible only after decades of contention between evangelical Sabbatarians seeking enforcement of antiquated "blue laws," and an alliance of "Pro-Sabs" who prevailed against them with strategy and tenacity. At the heart of the struggle was a debate over the First Amendment and the place of religion in public life. Drawing on case records, this book details the legal and political battles and describes the roles of the judges, law enforcement officers and politicians, and the ordinary citizens who wanted to enjoy baseball on Sunday. The contributions of unheralded civil rights pioneers--such as Joe Neet, John Powell and Lewis Perrine--are documented.

"The book ... will show the evolutionary process that took 50 years (1880 to 1930) before minor league baseball adopted the idea of playing baseball at night. After breaking into the minors, it only took five years before the Majors grudgingly accepted the idea proposed by Leland 'Larry' MacPhail and Powel Crosley to light up Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio. The book will have 70 photographs, 17 documents, diagrams, charts, and letters and over 90 pages of history, stories, and events. The end result is a history of modern day lighted baseball fields. ... The first World Series night game was played in 1971. But, by 1985, every World Series game is played at night."--Back cover.

Let There Be ; What would you be like if you became the person God expects you to be? entwines several strands that make their way through the Bible. First, as the title hints, God has created people. Then, when Jesus gave the three steps for living faithfully as his discipledenying oneself, taking up the cross, and following himhe outlined the non-negotiable essentials of the authentic life that moves from simply believing that Jesus is the Christ to being his disciple. Rick Davis, reflecting on his own move from belief to discipleship, explores how one can choose to embrace the calling of Jesus, to shoulder the yoke of discipleship, and to persist in ones obedience to God. Let There Be helps one to see how the disciples life is a time of learning to be the kind of person that God created and to follow his Son. As the final chapter notes, Eventually all things must be reconciled to God in a kingdom where only his will prevails. We are being trained to live in this kingdom, not the present one. We are not compatible with this present evil world. If you sense that a deeper and more profound life of discipleship is calling you to greater obedience to Jesus Christ, then Let There Be will share with you the fundamental insights to listen to his callto deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow the Lord.

The Great American Novel written by Philip Roth and has been published by Vintage this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-09-21 with Fiction categories.
From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Pastoral—a richly imagined novel featuring America’s only homeless big-league baseball team in history delivers “shameless comic extravagance…. Roth gleefully exploits our readiness to let baseball stand for America itself" (The New York Times). Gil Gamesh, the only pitcher who ever literally tried to kill the umpire. The ex-con first baseman, John Baal, "The Babe Ruth of the Big House," who never hit a home run sober. If you've never heard of them—or of the homeless baseball team the Ruppert Mundys—it's because of the Communist plot, and the capitalist scandal, that expunged the entire Patriot League from baseball memory. In this ribald, wickedly satiric novel, Roth turns baseball's status as national pastime and myth into an occasion for unfettered picaresque farce, replete with heroism and perfidy, ebullient wordplay and a cast of characters that includes the House Un-American Activities Committee.

“Undoubtedly modern America’s finest literary tribute to the baseball since Bernard Malamud’s novel The Natural” (Chicago Tribune). Henry Granville, a baseball fanatic and high school teacher, spends hours in the basement with his young son Danny, introducing him to balls of all shapes and sizes. He even turns the basement into an indoor stadium. Danny quickly distinguishes himself from his peers, most conspicuously by his ability to throw perfectly with either arm—a feat virtually unheard of in baseball. But he also possesses a visionary gift that not even he understands. Danny becomes a superior athlete, skyrocketing through the minor leagues and into the majors where he experiences immediate success, breaking records held for decades. When a journalist, a former student of Henry’s and hungry for a national breakout story, exaggerates the teacher’s obsession and exposes him to the world as a monster, all hell breaks loose and the pressures of media and celebrity threaten to disrupt the world that Henry and Danny have created. A baseball novel—and much more—The Man with Two Arms is a story of the ways in which we protect, betray, forgive, love, and shape each other as we attempt to find our way through life. “Magical realism meets baseball in [this] debut novel . . . [A] Roy Hobbs-like narrative.” —Chicago Magazine “Sings with joy and tragedy . . . An amazing debut, as a lyrical paean to the national pastime and as a touching exploration of the life of a boy becoming a man both blessed and burdened with a unique and extraordinary talent.” —Flagpole
