The intensity, focus, and commitment that former All-Pro Linebacker Mike Singletary brought to the Chicago Bears are the same qualities that have made him a star player in the most important team of all-his family. What is it that has driven Singletary to be the best father he can be, and why is he so concerned that other fathers learn to fill their role in their families with wisdom, perseverance, integrity, and love?  Perhaps it's because Singletary himself grew up without a dad. The product of a broken home, Mike knows just how important a father is to his children. In Daddy's Home at Last, Singletary speaks candidly about what it was like to grow up without a father's daily influence. And he tells of his own decision to put his family first in all his plans and decisions, and to be involved in all of his children's lives as they grow up.  Singletary insists that dads-not televisions sets or computerized entertainment centers-are the real role models in their children's lives. Fathers are needed at PTA meetings, soccer games, Scout outings, and church camps. Fathers are needed as rewarders, disciplinarians, and goal-setters. They're needed as encouragers and consolers, listeners and advisors, and as someone their children can share their joys, opportunities, and prayers with.  Rather than hiding behind the newspapers or hanging out with his buddies on the softball team, the American dad needs to find his closest friends at home, in his wife and children. Mike Singletary tells fathers how he found his place at home as a role model and teacher for his kids-and how fathers everywhere can make the same choice with the same success.

Daddy's Home at Last

Every baseball fan knows Goose Gossage as one of the great relief pitchers of all time. But in his amazingly rich memoir, Gossage reveals that he is also one of the best--and funniest--writers in sports. Wisecracking, warmhearted, endlessly entertaining, Gossage has a million hilarious stories, and in The Goose Is Loose he tells them all with incomparable wit and style. Goose Gossage's major league career commenced inauspiciously in 1972 when the skinny twenty-year-old kid from Colorado nearly decapitated Chicago Cubs legend Ernie Banks. Twenty-two years later, the Goose--a veteran of nine ball clubs--had become a legend himself: a dominating relief pitcher whose live fastball registered at the upper limit of the radar gun. But Goose also emerged as a genuine character with his trademark Fu Manchu mustache, unflinching stare, and the ecstatic shouts of "GOOOOOOSE!" that greeted him whenever he took the mound. Now Gossage recounts the highs and lows of those twenty-two incredible years. Here are his encounters with legends like Ernie Banks, Dick Allen, Mickey Mantle, Carl Yazstremski, Nolan Ryan, and Ken Griffey, Jr. Here is the story of how the Goose became a hot property at the age of twenty-six, only to stumble badly when he started playing with the Yankees. But Gossage bounced back and rose to the heights of Yankee stardom during the wild and crazy "Bronx Zoo" years of the late seventies and early eighties. It's all here. Shower fights with Cliff Johnson; the running feuds with Billy Martin and George Steinbrenner; the big move from the Yankees to the Padres; the notorious "beer in the clubhouse" showdown with Padres owner Joan Kroc; the constant antics with fun-loving teammates like Terry Forster and Thurman Munson. Baseball's lore, gossip, and salty tales come alive with an insider's savvy and a stand-up comic's flawless sense of timing. What a piece of luck for readers and sports fans alike that baseball's unrivaled relief pitcher should also have perfect aim as a writer.

MORRIS HITE is a self-educated, selfmade advertising and marketing genius. A native Oklahoman who migrated to Texas and emerged as one of the preeminent advertising executives west of Madison Avenue. Morris Hite provided the impetus and inspiration that made Tracy-Locke Co. in Dallas one of the ad industry's most successful agencies. An illustrator and layout artist by training, Hite believed that account service, not creative work, constitutes the cornerstone of an ad agency's enterprise.An agency is only as good as its account executives, Hite frequently told his Tracy-Locke troops. He then proceeded to shape his account men in his own image: committed to clients' growth. In an ad career that spanned six decades until his death in 1983, Morris Hite helped such well-respected marketers as Frito-Lay, Borden and Haggar Co. develop new products and gain market share. He devoted substantial amounts of time and energy to understanding consumers and their purchasing decisions long before market research became an integral part of American business. He disciplined himself to be able to find big ideas - sales messages that trigger consumer response. Morris Hite also applied his "can-do" business philosophy to civic endeavors. He spearheaded campaigns for the two largest bond elections in Dallas history and he served two years as president of Dallas Chamber of Commerce. The recipient of numerous awards for his marketing prowess and public service, Morris Hite remained a down-to-earth, plain-spoken individual, the antithesis of the fast-talking advertising smoothie. Morris Hite worked hard and played hard. He would have been the first to admit that all in all, he had a damned good run.
