Editorial Review Product Description Think back to those amazingly languid summers of your childhood, when in the heat of the day you followed the game on a distant radio, watched the pros on the living-room TV, or cheered your local heroes at the hometown ballpark.Ernest Thayer'sclassic tale of baseball hopes and dreams comes to life like never before with LeRoy Neiman's lush, meticulously detailed charcoal drawings and an original introduction by Yankees manager Joe Torre, considered by many to be the greatest baseball manager of all time. These illustrations -- a rare departure from the vibrantly colored paintings that made LeRoy Neiman famous -- evoke Mudville's beloved Casey in images that are muscular, immediate, and unmistakably American. A volume of matchless artistry, this edition of Casey at the Bat is a treasure for all generations. Customer Reviews (6)
This modern rendition of the classic retains the charm
Casey at the Bat
Original poem not used, images were of modern players I love this poem, and I wish the author had stuck with the original. Also- the images of Casey and the spectators are of modern Leroy Neiman is a great artist, and that is the only reason I give this

Editorial Review Product Description "Their pitcher walks our leadoff man.Greg moves him up to second with a perfectsacrifice. Fabian loops one into right. I’m up. Two on, one out. I’m the cleanupman. My job is to bring these guys home." MVP Kevin Boland gets the news that he has mono and won’t be seeing a baseball field for a while, and he suddenly finds himself scrawling a poem down the middle of a page in his journal. To get some help, he cops a poetry book from his dad’s den. Before Kevin knows it, he’s writing in verse about stuff like, Will his jock friends give up on him? What’s the deal with girlfriends? Surprisingly enough, after his health improves, he keeps on writing - about the smart-talking Latina girl who thinks poets are cool, even about his mother, whose death is a still-tender loss for which he finally finds the words. Written in free verse with examples of several poetic forms slipped into the mix, including a sonnet, haiku, pastoral, and even a pantoum, this funny, poignant story by a master of dialogue is an English teacher’s dream - sure to hook poetry lovers, baseball fanatics, mono recoverers, and everyone in between.

Editorial Review Product Description Here in The Bat-Poet are the bat's own poems and the bat's own world: the owl who almost eats him; the mockingbird whose irritable genius almost overpowers him; the chipmunk who loves his poems, and the bats who can't make beads or tails of them; the cardinals, blue jays, chickadees, and sparrows who fly in and out of Randall Jarrell's funny, lovable, truthful fable.

Very good book
The Rescue of Bat 21
A READ WORTHY OF YOUR TIME Coast Guard Lieutenant Commander Jay Crowe commanding an Air Force rescue helicopter drops through the clouds heading for the survivor when enemy fire comes up from all directions.The dashboard begins to disintegrate.Crowe and his copilot struggle to control the helicopter and clear the area.The crew is amazed at the scene below.North Vietnamese Army trucks, tanks, guns, and soldiers are everywhere.Bat 21 is trapped between two enemy divisions barreling across the borders in a full offensive to conquer South Vietnam.Still, the rescue attempt goes on. As the author of "Coast Guard Action in Vietnam," I am pleased to read, not only a darn good true book about the Vietnam War, but, one that brings out the fact that Coast Guardsmen were active in that long engagement.Flying combat search and rescue was only one of their numerous missions.For example, LORAN, the electronic navigation system used to keep Bat 21 pinpointed and to place ordnance on enemy positions, was installed in the theater and manned by the Coast Guard. Do yourself a favor, get both "Bat 21" by William C. Anderson and "The Rescue of Bat 21" by Darrel D. Whitcomb.Read them in tandem.Read "Bat 21" first.It puts you with the survivor on the ground evading capture for twelve days.Then read Whitcomb's book.It pulls back the camera to take into view the entire panorama of situation, equipment, and people, that went into this remarkable rescue exploit. When you start the reading make sure you have a block of uninterrupted time because you may not want to stop until--the end.
It is nice to hear the complete story

Editorial Review Product Description This is an intimate look at the half-bat/half-boy, who has until now been shrouded in mystery (despite countless sightings and a megahit musical). Here, Bat Boy’s life is illuminated through a series of public and private documents obtained by the equally mysterious Dr. Barry Leed of the University of Indianapolis and through Weekly World News clippings. All this information comes together in this new Bitingsroman that reveals an archetypal American trickster who has risen from his lowly origins to become America’s favorite freedom fighter.

Editorial Review Product Description Reginald loves to create beautiful music on his violin. But Papa, manager of the Dukes, the worst team in the Negro National League, needs a bat boy, not a "fiddler," and traveling with the Dukes doesn't leave Reginald much time for practicing. Soon the Dukes' dugout is filled with Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach -- and the bleachers are filled with the sound of the Dukes' bats. Has Reginald's violin changed the Dukes' luck -- and can his music pull off a miracle victory against the powerful Monarchs? Gavin Curtis's beautifully told story of family ties and team spirit and E. B. Lewis's lush watercolor paintings capture a very special period in history. Customer Reviews (7)
TAZ Tight boy and his violin
A wonderful story on many levels Set among the context of the Negro League era, Reginald's father decides one summer to make him bat boy for his team. The team is down on its luck, and Reginald's heart isn't in this assignment, but everything comes together for him and the team one day. The history of the era as gently portrayed in the travels of the players is presented for young readers.The story of being true to yourself, and of parents learning to accept that in their children, is here as well.Above all else, the story of Reginald and his journeys with the ball players is a story of hope and triumph among the community in a time that was not always seen as one of hope.Along with all of this, the illustrations of E. B. Lewis capture these themes beautifully.
Story about a time of prejudice and how people change.
