Steinbrenner: The Last Lion Of Baseball $27.59 Ever since he bought the New York Yankees in 1973 George Steinbrenners domineering personality and ruthless tactics have made him the most successful–and most hated–man in baseball. Steinbrenner revolutionized the business and culture of the sport creating the free-agent era with his gaudy signing of Catfish Hunter. He displayed a flair for showmanship worthy of New York (and unlikely in a Cleveland shipping magnate) when he wooed Reggie Jackson with dinner at 21 and the promise of a new Rolls Royce. And in spite of his manic management style and free-spending Steinbrenners Yankees have won more World Series and made more money than any other team in baseball history. Along for the ride was Bill Madden who has covered the Yankees and baseball for the New York Daily News for over 30 years. When Steinbrenner wanted to fire manager Billy Martin and hire Yogi Berra in 1985 he called Madden-and acted on his advice two months later. When Steinbrenner made his return from suspension in 1993 Madden was the only reporter to accompany him from the Regency Hotel in Manhattan to Yankee Stadium. When Steinbrenner his health in decline decided to do his final one-on-one interview he gave it to Madden. Through his long career covering the Yankees Madden has cultivated sources at every level in the organization from the many general managers Steinbrenner has fired to the bat boys who are ever-present in the locker room. All of them have colorful stories about the teams owner whose temper was so legendary he became a regular character on Seinfeld. In STEINBRENNER Madden has written the definitive biography of the man who himself defined the most prolific era of the New York Yankees.

The Last Commissioner: A Baseball Valentine $15.69 On a beautiful July morning in 1991 three men gathered in a hotel suite for an informal breakfast and conversation. The discussion ranged widely over events and characters of the past famous names and fabled accomplishments flowing along with the coffee and juice. Two of them Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio were the ultimate symbols of athletic glory for generations of American men. The third man Fay Vincent was living a dream sitting with and asking questions of his boyhood heroes. Fay Vincent never set out to be the commissioner of baseball. He got into the game alongside his good friend A. Bartlett Giamatti as deputy commissioner when Giamatti was named to the sport’s highest office in 1989. They spent their first spring and summer dealing with Pete Rose’s gambling and Vincent’s legal expertise complemented his friend’s moral thunder. But that was to be their only season working side by side as Bart Giamatti’s heart gave out just days after the announcement of the Rose suspension. Vincent found himself the only logical candidate to fill a position as guardian of the best interests of the game he loves. In The Last Commissioner: A Baseball Valentine Vincent takes us along for the ultimate fan’s fantasy camp. As commissioner he got to talk baseball with the likes of Yogi Berra Larry Doby Warren Spahn Ernie Banks Eddie Lopat Whitey Ford and Henry Aaron. He brought his legal training to bear on the delicate issue of whether Roger Clemens uttered the magic word that would justify his being tossed out of a playoff game (and it’s not the word you think). He was one of the few outsiders at the annual Hall of Fame banquet for the new inductees and their immortal peers where he watched amazed as Johnny Mize demonstrated to Ralph Kiner his method of hitting an inside pitch — a piece of advice from forty years past. And he brought equal respect and attention to the greats of the Negro Leagues listening to the gracefully told stories of Joe Black and Buck O’Neil slowly learning how Slick Surratt earned his nickname hearing Jimmie Crutchfield give as good a definition of a well-lived life as we will ever know. Vincent shares these stories and more: his high regard for umpires instilled in his youth by his father an NFL official and respected local ump; his close relations with the Bush family forged in a summer spent working in the oil fields with his schoolmate Bucky Bush the 41st president’s brother (and 43rd president’s uncle); his unusual experiences with the relentless George Steinbrenner including the famous meeting where the Yankees owner was facing a two-year suspension and plea-bargained it down to a lifetime ban. Vincent also gives his candid views on the state of baseball today firm in his belief that the game will survive its current leadership and even prosper. Through it all Vincent’s deep love of baseball shines through. His most remarkable accomplishment as commissioner may have been to emerge from the off

Hard News $6.59 Rune is an aspiring filmmaker with more ambition than political savvy, paying her dues as an assistant cameraperson for the local news.

Wrecking Crew: The Really Bad News Griffith Park Pirates $8.49 "You never know what’s going to save you." After years of dingy nightclubs and drug addiction, John Albert and his hard-luck friends certainly never expected their salvation to arrive in the form of a pastime most often associated with Mom, God, and apple pie. Wrecking Crew — a highly unusual chronicle of recovery and redemption — documents the transformation of a group of musicians, struggling screenwriters, and wannabe actors into a competitive band of hardballers. For over a decade, it seemed to be enough: the narcotics, gambling, whores, and aimless rebellion. But as they stumbled into their thirties, the blithe pursuit of self-destruction had simply become exhausting to these battle-scarred denizens of the L.A. counterculture. The romantic squalor of being perpetually broken-down, periodically drug-addled, and irresponsible began to lose its charm. The idea of fielding a baseball team to compete in a hard-knocks amateur league seemed merely the latest in a string of half-hearted stabs at restoring order to their ragged lives. But this escapade was different. When these men donned their team uniforms, the old obsessions started to fade and something incredible began to happen. This is the unforgettable story of the Griffith Park Pirates.

Losing The News : The Future Of The News That Feeds Democracy $11.29 What is wrong with the news? To answer this dismaying question, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Alex S. Jones explores how the epochal changes sweeping the media have eroded the core news that has been the essential food supply of our democracy. At a time of dazzling technological innovation, Jones says that what stands to be lost is the fact-based reporting that serves as a watchdog over government, holds the powerful accountable, and gives citizens what they need. In a tumultuous new media era, with cutthroat competition and panic over profits, the commitment of the traditional news media to serious news is fading. Should we lose a critical mass of this news, our democracy will weaken–and possibly even begin to fail. The breathtaking possibilities that the web offers are undeniable, but at what cost? The shattering of the old economic model is taking a toll on journalistic values and standards. Journalistic objectivity and ethics are under assault, as is the bastion of the First Amendment. Pundits and talk show hosts have persuaded Americans that the crisis in news is bias and partisanship. Not so, says Jones. The real crisis is the erosion of the iron core of "accountability" news, a loss that hurts Republicans and Democrats alike. Losing the News is a vivid depiction of the dangers facing fact-based, reported news, but it is also a call to arms. Despite the current crisis, there are many hopeful signs, and Jones closes by looking over the horizon and exploring ways the iron core can be preserved.

The Local News $17.29 When fifteen-year-old Lydia Pasternak’s popular older brother Danny disappears late one summer night, she unwillingly becomes a celebrity in her community and an afterthought to her bereaved parents. In Danny’s absence, Lydia blossoms from a bookish outcast to the centre of attention, all while grappling with her grudging grief for a brother she never particularly liked.

The shocking end to that trail of clues – an end that Lydia never prepares for – will haunt her for the rest of her life.

I was charmed by the first page and undone by the last.’ Beth Gutcheon, author of Good-Bye and Amen and Leeway Cottage ‘Beneath this darkly humorous tale of loss is a keen look at the painfully stratified world of high school, and a reminder that just because we’re supposed to feel sad doesn’t mean we always do.’ Mar ie Claire
