There's Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Author: Abdurraqib, Hanif

Publisher: Random House

Date Published: 03-2024

ISBN: 0593448790 | EAN: 9780593448793

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Price on Product, Index | Pages: 352

Annotation: "While Hanif Abdurraqib is an acclaimed author, a gifted poet, and one of our culture's most insightful music critics, he is most of all, at heart, an Ohioan. Growing up in Columbus in the '90s, Abdurraqib witnessed a golden era of basketball, one in which legends like LeBron were forged, and countless others weren't. His lifelong love of the game leads Abdurraqib into a lyrical, historical, and emotionally rich exploration of what it means to make it, who we think deserves success, the tensions between excellence and expectation, and the very notion of role models, all of which he expertly weaves together with memoir: 'Here is where I would like to tell you about the form on my father's jumpshot,' Abdurraqib writes. 'The truth, though, is that I saw my father shoot a basketball only one time'"

Why We Love Baseball: A History in 50 Moments

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Author: Posnanski, Joe

Publisher: Dutton

Date Published: 09-2023

ISBN: 0593472675 | EAN: 9780593472675

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Index, Price on Product, Bibliography | Pages: 400

Annotation: "Posnanski writes of major moments that created legends, and of forgotten moments almost lost to time. It's Willie Mays's catch, Babe Ruth's called shot, and Kirk Gibson's limping home run; the slickest steals; the biggest bombs; and the most triumphant no-hitters. But these are also moments raw with the humanity of the game, the unheralded heroes, the mesmerizing mistakes drenched in pine tar, and every story, from the immortal to the obscure, is told from a unique perspective. Whether of a real fan who witnessed it, or the pitcher who gave up the home run, the umpire, the coach, the opposing player--these are fresh takes on moments so powerful they almost feel like myth"--

Annotation: During a Hall of Fame career that spanned nearly 50 years, veteran sportswriter Jerry Tipton was best known for his no nonsense coverage of University of Kentucky men's basketball, challenging questions, catchy leads, and legendary exchanges with Coach John Calipari. In Déjà Blue--A Sportswriter Reflects on 41 Seasons of Kentucky Basketball, Tipton shares a behind-the-scenes look at his career in sportswriting, from his early years at the Huntington Herald-Dispatch (W.Va.) through over four decades covering the highs, and lows, of the Wildcats for the Lexington Herald-Leader including three national championships ('96, '98, '12), nine Final Fours, and six head coaches. More than just a memoir, Déjà Blue presents a journalistic reflection on Tipton's award-winning career in which he recalls the stories, the games, the personalities, and his relationships with coaches, players, and members of Big Blue Nation. Déjà Blue gives insight into Tipton's skill as a beat reporter--interviewing, writing, and old-fashioned hard work--that led to his induction into not just one, but three sportswriting hall of fame associations, a fitting tribute to his storied career.
