Tess and Mungo bump into each other on the Ha'penny Bridge over the Liffey and quickly contrive to make their paths cross again. Then, as people do, they start to see each other more often ... As they begin to talk about themselves and their backgrounds, they feel compelled to invent stories of lives very different from their own. Both have children and marriages - but not love - on the dole in contemporary Dublin. Both are aware that the fables they tell one another are just that - fabulous tales designed to present the teller in a more seductive light. Gradually, they become drawn in by each other's stories. Talking, loving and weaving tales - exotic, sexual and guilt-ridden - they stoke the fires of a burgeoning affair.'Two spoofers,' Tess thinks to herself. 'It might even be fun ...'It is - and so is their story-telling.

This ultimate book for the Yankee fan includes every player who ever played for the Yankees even for a single at bat, every statistic--both career and with the Yankees--and every important moment in Yankee history making this the most thorough and eclectic look at the team of Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, and Jeter ever published. Fascinating stories, lists and biographies offer a complete and insightful overview of the team through its history. All the vital numbers that baseball obsessives covet are here, from the number of stolen bases Queenie O'Rourke nabbed in 1908 (4), to the total homers Babe Ruth gave up during his years as a pitcher (10), to the number of strikeouts Catfish Hunter earned in 1975 (177). More than just an incredible collection of baseball numbers, this Yankees tribute reminds fans of blockbuster trades, great players who got away, notable accomplishments by some un-notable Yankee players, and more. Stats include: POSITION PLAYERS: Year, Games played, At Bats, Batting Average, Slugging, Average, Hits, Doubles, Triples, Homeruns, Homerun Percentage, Runs, Runs Batted In, Strikeouts, Stolen Bases, Caught Stealing, Hit by Pitch, Errors, Fielding Percentage and more. PITCHERS: Year, Starts, Wins, Losses, Earned Runs, Earned Run Average, Games Played, Innings Pitched, Hits Allowed, Strikeouts, Bases on Balls, Shutouts, Wins in Relief, Losses in Relief, Saves, Complete Games, Homeruns Allowed and more.

More than any other sport, baseball has developed its own niche in America’s culture and psyche. Some researchers spend years on detailed statistical analyses of minute parts of the game, while others wax poetic about its players and plays. Many trace the beginnings of the civil rights movement in part to the Major Leagues’ decision to integrate, and the words and phrases of the game (for example, pinch-hitter and out in left field) have become common in our everyday language. From AARON, HENRY onward, this book covers all of what might be called the cultural aspects of baseball (as opposed to the number-rich statistical information so widely available elsewhere). Biographical sketches of all Hall of Fame players, owners, executives and umpires, as well as many of the sportswriters and broadcasters who have won the Spink and Frick awards, join entries for teams, owners, commissioners and league presidents. Advertising, agents, drafts, illegal substances, minor leagues, oldest players, perfect games, retired uniform numbers, superstitions, tripleheaders, and youngest players are among the thousands of entries herein. Most entries open with a topical quote and conclude with a brief bibliography of sources for further research. The whole work is exhaustively indexed and includes 119 photographs.

The New York Yankees are baseball's most storied team. They first played at Hilltop Park, then moved to the Polo Grounds, then Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, back to the renovated Yankee Stadium, and now in the new Yankee Stadium. They also frequently opened the season in Boston's historic Fenway Park, fondly remembered Shibe Park in Philadelphia, Griffith Stadium in Washington, and all around the expanded leagues after 1961. This book details every opening-day celebration and game from 1903 to 2017, while noting how each was affected by war, the economy, political and social protest and population shifts. We see presidents and politicians, entertainers, celebrities, and fans, owners, managers, and most of all, the players.
