Literature & Fiction

Simon Pulse

He lost two Cy Young winners in two years, signed a 47-year-old to be his starting first baseman, played 17 rookies in 2005, and still took his team to the playoffs. Baseball is John Schuerholz's world--everyone is just playing in it. Now, in BUILT TO WIN, the legendary manager takes readers behind the scenes of the most successful franchise in recent history--and shows how his unique philosophies and leadership have helped the Atlanta Braves achieve something no team has ever come close to accomplishing. He candidly peels back the curtain, from his first World Series with the Kansas City Royals to his departure for the struggling Braves. No sooner did Schuerholz arrive than they won their first title in 1991...and the rest is history.

Andrews McMeel Publishing

When he died in a bizarre plane crash in 1999, U.S. Open golf champion Payne Stewart became a sports icon. Already famous for his colorful knickers and charming cockiness, Stewart had parlayed his golfing talent into a brilliant career. The tragic timing of his death at the height of his career focused the spotlight on him even more.In The Payne Stewart Story, author Larry Guest covers the golfing great's career, from his start as an unpopular player dubbed "Tinkerbelle" to his standing as one of golf's most respected professionals. For this book, Guest drew on his 20-year friendship with Stewart and more than 100 hours of taped interviews with some 30 people, including Payne's wife, Tracey, and his friend and fellow PGA Tour player Larry Rinker. Full of surprises, the book details Payne's harmonica playing, his standing as the life of the party, and his quiet spiritual growth. The Payne Stewart Story is funny and sad, triumphant and tragic.

Larry Guest Lite: Glib Slants on Sports from the Orlando Sentinel's Award-Winning Columnist and Humorist

Woodford Publishing

This is a fast-moving collection of funny and insightful INSIDE anecdotes involving more than two dozen very famous sports personalities with whom the author interacted, both professionally and socially, during his 30-year run as a syndicated sports columnist. The anecdotes are mostly untold or lightly mentioned only in local media. How did Jimmy Johnson's wife extract a measure of revenge when he dumped her when he began coaching the Dallas Cowboys? What did defiant former Florida football coach Charley Pell do to an investigator in a meeting that convinced then-assistant coach Mike Shanahan that the Gators were headed for the NCAA jailhouse? How did Shaquille O'Neal shock the stately owner of the Orlando Magic and staff in their first head-to-head meeting? Why was Hawk Harrelson seeing three balls each time Luis Tiant threw a pitch and what was the outcome? What did a huge lineman say in a NY Jets team meeting that left Coach Weeb Eubank, Joe Namath and the rest of the team gasping for breath? Which Mets player did Manager Davey Johnson challenge to a clubhouse fight? What did Triple Crown trainer Bob Baffert tell a Louisville styling shop that had all the stylists scrambling to be the one to serve him? How did Collinsworth react when told his horse needed to be gelded? Why did Woody grant total access to the BBC for a week to his usually inaccessible Buckeyes? Why did nervous reporters fear Steve Spurrier was close to becoming postal when he became tearful during a mid-week press conference? What prized belonging did Bobby Bowden leave behind at a roadside cafe, only to be stopped by a highway patrolman? What was the unexpected reason patrons at a small Maine theater give Don Shula and his wife a standing ovation? Why did Mickey Mantle play one hole of an upscale Dallas golf club wearing only his spikes? Did Payne Stewart really walk on water hours after winning the Bay Hill Classic? What stunning thing happened when Lou Holtz asked his team about their formidable approahing bowl opponent? Those are just a few of the unusual happenings that come at the reader like a machine gun in this quick read. After an advance read, Holtz said, "I;m still laughing. An entertaining read. Said Florida novelist Bob Morris: "Icons are funny?? No, Icons are freaking hilarious!" And Pat Williams, an NBA exec, motivational speaker and prolific author, said of this book: "Chock full of entertaining stories, one after another, from one of America's leading sports writers."
