Back in the Game

Back in the Game by Lori Wilde, has a good story line. It is also heartwarming, heartbreaking, compassionate and funny. The story is set in the town to Stardust, Texas where baseball is lived and breathed for most of the town folks. They love their hometown baseball hero Rowdy Blanton, who playing days came to an end when he was brutally attacked and he has come home to recover from his injury. He meets Breeanne Carlyle, who helps him write his memoir and just seems to know what goes in to recover his surgeries. Lori Wilde did a great job starting this new series! It also has romance, mystery and even a little magic! *JK*

Batter Up!

If opening day for Baseball is important to you, then make sure you read a classic poem to celebrate America’s favorite sport. Ernest Lawrence Thayer's Casey at the bat : a ballad of the Republic sung in the year 1888 is a baseball poem that is a must-read for adults and children alike. It is as entertaining today as it was way back when. The poem was originally published in the San Francisco Examiner on June 3, 1888. Since that time it has been recited in Vaudeville, on stage, in the movies, and on television. There’s even a sequel to the poem that tells about our mighty batter’s most magnificent moment. Enjoy.

Shea Stadium Remembered

The Last Play at Shea is a documentary film featuring performances by Billy Joel, among others. This film gives the history of Shea Stadium in New York City and charts the life and career of Long Island native Billy Joel. Interspersed with interviews from baseball players and musicians who have played at Shea is live concert footage of the 'last play' by Joel. Other performers in this final concert include Garth Brooks, Tony Bennett, Paul McCartney and John Mayer. It's a nostalgic look at the 60s through current times with great historic concert footage of such well known bands as the Beatles, The Who and The Police. It is a pleasure to watch. Highly recommended! SG
