Book Description
"Nothing short of mind-blowing . . . Just amazing stuff"—Newsday "A fast-paced, fascinating tale that combines shoe leather, high-tech forensics and some healthy dollops of luck….Biegel makes a compelling case that he's solved the mystery…his book is a home run." – Associated Press October 3, 1951. Giants third baseman Bobby Thomson hit the most dramatic home run in the history of baseball. The moment occurred in the bottom of the ninth inning of a sudden-death playoff game between the New York Giants and their arch rivals from Brooklyn, the Dodgers. People across the nation watched on their new TV sets, and the home run became known as “the Shot Heard ’Round the World.” But after clearing the left-field wall, the central artifact of the play—the ball itself—inexplicably went missing. The mystery of what happened to the legendary baseball has remained unsolved for a half century. Until now. Miracle Ball is the gripping account of author Brian Biegel’s two-year effort to unravel the mystery that experts said could never be solved. A sports story for the ages, an engrossing mystery narrative, and a moving account of a man’s unbreakable bond with his family and of his struggles to save himself, Miracle Ball delivers both heart and headlines.

Miracle in Shreveport
Author: David Benham
Publisher: HarperChristian + ORM
ISBN: 0785215999
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Twin brothers David and Jason Benham grew up with big dreams of baseball and an even bigger trust in God. Though they attended a small high school with no baseball field, turned down a professional offer so they could attend college together, and faced more than one missed pitch and injuries, they kept dreaming, praying together on the field, and believing in God’s provision for their lives. David and Jason’s journey, from Little League to college to professional baseball and beyond, reminds us that even when we don’t know what God is up to, He’s putting together the pieces of our life’s puzzle and executing the plans He has for each of us. Miracle in Shreveport tells the story of a family’s love, the power of prayer, and a game that is truly all-American. It is also the story of brotherhood staying strong, despite the threat of comparison in a profession committed to competition. Most of all, it is the story of being faithful in small steps, honoring God in the process, and trusting His hand in our lives. In this book, the Benhams call us to remember that when we follow God’s dream for us, we find it is better than we could have ever dreamed for ourselves.

All the World's a Stage
Author: Larry Van Guilder
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595380336
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
Antoine was scarcely aware of the fading light and wintry stillness as he envisioned sagging stalls replaced by a stage, a balcony where the drooping loft now stood, and carpeted floors with rows of seats in place of the packed dirt floor. This is it, he thought. Antoine would make his dream a reality. Independent filmmaker Antoine Bouvier seems to have everything he ever wanted. With unforgettable performances by Rancid Mudd, Miracle B. Hinds, "Joe," and the beautiful and bountiful Cameron D'Angelo, Antoine creates an underground cinematic sensation. Who could deny the genius behind a film about bowel movements set against a backdrop of Republican notables? Certainly not Antoine! But fame is a greedy mistress, and Antoine must now answer filmmaking's age-old question: now that you've made a movie about crap, where do you go from here? For Antoine, there is only one answer: live theater. Can he pull it off and bring his vision to the stage?
