The Book of Joe
Author: Joe Maddon
Publisher: Twelve
ISBN: 153875178X
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
Lessons in baseball enlightenment from three-time MLB Manager of the Year Joe Maddon. No one sees baseball like Joe Maddon. He sees it through his trademark glasses and irrepressible wit. Raised in the “shot and beer” town of Hazleton, PA, and forged by 15 years in the minors, Maddon over 19 seasons in Tampa Bay, Chicago, and Anaheim has become one of the most successful, most colorful, and most quoted managers in Major League Baseball. He is a workplace culture expert, having engineered two of the most stunning turnarounds in the past quarter century: taking the Rays from the worst record in baseball one year to the World Series the next and leading the Cubs to their first World Series title in 108 years. Like his teams, Maddon defies convention. He is part strategist, part philosopher, part sports psychologist, and part motivational coach. In THE BOOK OF JOE, Maddon gives readers unique insights into the game, including the tension between art and data, the changing role of managers as front offices gain power, why the honeymoon with the Cubs did not last, and what it’s like to manage the modern player, including stars such as Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Yu Darvish, and Kris Bryant. But you expect even more from a manager who meditates daily, admires Twain, and has only one rule when it comes to a team dress code: “If you think you look hot, wear it!” And Maddon delivers. Built on-old school values and new-school methods, his wisdom applies beyond the dugout. His mantras about leadership, mentorship, team building, and communication are meditations on life, not just baseball. Among those mantras are: “Do simple better.” “Try not to suck.” “Don’t ever permit the pressure to exceed the pleasure.” “See it with first-time eyes.” “Tell me what you think, not what you’ve heard.” THE BOOK OF JOE is Maddon at his uniquely holistic best. It is a memoir of a fascinating baseball journey, an insider’s look at a changing game, and a guidebook on leadership and life.

Author: Allan Young
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1300350970
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 63
Book Description
ME AND JAKE, by Allan Young. These are hunting and fishing stories that I shouldn't tell anybody, because they are all true! There's a song that goes: "I won't go huntin' with you, Jake, but I'll go chasin' women." Well, me and Jake are both too old and fat to go chasing women-besides we wouldn't know what to do with one if we caught it-but we have spent over two-thirds of our lives hunting and fishing together. And we haven't shot each other yet, or pushed each other into a lake or trout stream, although we both admit we have thought about it from time to time. Jake "Moose" Vavra is a six-foot-five, 265 pound Engineer, Farmer, Business Man and Publisher. (He used to just weigh 250 pounds, until I found out his scale only went that far!) And what hasn't happened to us in many years of hunting and fishing together just isn't worth mentioning.

The New Ballgame
Author: Russell A. Carleton
Publisher: Triumph Books
ISBN: 1637272286
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
Watching a game of baseball today means witnessing phenomena that would have been novel, if not completely unheard of, not so long ago. Starting pitchers sling 100 mile-per-hour heat for just four or five innings before departing; third basemen often station themselves much closer to second (to say nothing of the shortstop's whereabouts); home runs and strikeouts dominate at-bats; all while the length of contest tips toward the four-hour mark. There's no getting around it: the game looks different now. And as Major League Baseball scrambles with rule changes, equipment modifications, labor negotiations, and more, fans are left grasping for the true essence of this beloved pastime among the moving pieces. In The New Ballgame, Russell Carleton (The Shift) deftly indentifies and examines the many levers and inflection points that have shaped the game into what we see on the field today. Through a singular blend of statistical analysis, history, and cognitive science, readers will trace the rapid evolution of the modern game while contemplating the sport in an entirely new way. Blending incisive research with affable storytelling, Russell Carleton delivers a kaleidoscopic view on modern baseball in this welcome, revelatory work.
