"Dirk Hayhurst has done it again. . .Turns out he's a starter and a closer." —Tim Kurkjian, ESPN As a major and not-so-major league pitcher, Dirk Hayhurst has learned to master more than striking out batters. While waiting for his name to be called in the bullpen, he honed his gifts as a storyteller, one the New York Times calls the "best writer in a baseball uniform." In this often hilarious collection of adventures on and off the diamond, Dirk details the intricacies of pulling off an epic team prank, even if it's at his own expense; the art of creating the perfect professional baseball nickname; his comically ineffective attempts at writing romance novels; and the bizarre tale in which a bear gets punched in the face (yes, really). No matter how wild his story, Dirk proves once again he knows that it's all in the delivery. "I find his writing both entertaining and thought provoking. . .unlike his fastball." —Ben Zobrist, Tampa Bay Rays All-Star "Dirk Hayhurst writes about baseball in a unique way. Observant, insightful, human, and hilarious." —Bob Costas "Hayhurst delivers an entertaining story for more than just sports fans." —Jordan Bastian, MLB.com "Hayhurst explains life in the minors and the major leagues like you've never read it before." —J. J. Cooper, Baseball America "Insight and humor from the pitcher's mound." —Businessweek 51,300 Words.

WILD PITCHES by Marvin KananenIs there anything better to read about than baseball? The answer to that question is: “No.” Baseball is a universe separate from the cares of this world. It is an arena of hope. Young players dream dreams and old players cherish memories. Baseball is a constant that flows through the generations, through lifetimes. Baseball is as close to magic as we can find. Baseball is a legacy that parents can bestow onto their children. There is nothing better to read about than baseball.Marvin Kananen's WILD PITCHES is a collection of 33-1/3 short baseball stories (yes, 33 1/3 is a record; and yes, there is a third of a story at the end of the book). The stories are based on a fictional character, Arnold “Ellie” Grimes. They cover his time from playing in Little League® to the time when only memories linger. The writer claims all stories are fictional and yet confesses all are based on baseball. They are baseball stories and they are wonderful, entertaining, and full of that baseball strangeness that feels like love.

A page-turner packed with action and redemption by legendary short-stop and a veteran sportswriter Cal Ripkin. Robbie Hammond is the hardest throwing pitcher in the Babe Ruth League. But what good is all that heat when he can't seem to find the plate? With Robbie struggling, the Orioles are suffering through a nightmare season, still looking for their first win. Robbie's teammates are whispering that the only reason he's even pitching is that he's the coach's kid. They've even given him a new nickname: Ball Four. What the other Orioles don't know is that Robbie is still haunted by a fastball that got away from him and injured a batter in last year's All-Star Game. Now, with the pressure mounting, he's willing to try anything to get his control back, including listening to a mysterious boy who just might hold the key to helping Robbie and the Orioles save their season. This third action-packed book in Cal Ripken Jr.'s All-Star series will have readers on the edge of their seats as they root for Robbie's comeback.
