Another Chance       Sometimes a sports trade, draft pick, or roster cut turns out to be one of the worst personnel moves since the selection of Barabbas over Jesus.  That's not always easy on the fellow who didn't pan out, and by 34 A.D. Barabbas was aware of what the other guy did.     When a minor league baseball stadium gets sent to that year after a home run ball hits a timehole, Barabbas ends up in the minor leagues when one of the teams figures that he might make the most of another chance to live up to the previous year's decision.  While the rest of the stadium is focused on returning to their own century, there's time for baseball when that's not possible and even time to teach Barabbas the basics of the game.     Another Chance combines the enjoyment of baseball with the quest to return the stadium and its occupants to their original era and the desire of Barabbas to regain the reputation which led to the crucifixion decision so unpopular in hindsight.

<p>As a major-league baseball Hall of Famer, there is little doubt that Ted Williams was the greatest hitter of his era. THE KID presents the story of Williams' formative years, the years before he made it to the major leagues. From Mexican-American and English-Welsh roots, and from a broken home, this child of the Depression determined to become "the greatest hitter who ever lived" and many feel he accomplished his goal. This book presents the perspectives of eight authors--representing the Ted Williams Chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research, the SABR chapter based in San Diego. The authors write about Ted's family roots, his sandlot ball, high school play and his seasons with the Pacific Coast League and American Association teams before, at age 20, he joined the Boston Red Sox and began his career in big league baseball.</p>

<p>The San Diego Padres Encyclopedia is the first comprehensive history of one of Major League Baseball's most fascinating franchises. From its roots as a National League expansion team in 1969 through the 2000 season, this new book covers the team's entire season-by-season history on the field, including its World Series appearances in 1984 and 1998. The team's greatest stars -- Tony Gwynn, Dave Winfield, Trevor Hoffman, Randy Jones, Nate Colbert, Steve Garvey, Ken Caminiti, and nearly a hundred others -- are fully chronicled, as are Padre celebrities such as Ray Kroc, Dick Williams, and Jerry Coleman. Much of the authors' biographical information was collected through personal interviews. The San Diego Padres Encyclopedia delineates the team's greatest milestones in its "This Date in Padre History" section, lists the franchise's all-time transactions, and chooses the Padres' all-time "dream team." The appendix of the book includes an all-time Padres roster and the most comprehensive statistical history of the Padres ever published.</p>
