Most young girls never dream of becoming a professional baseball player and very few ever do. But for Dolly Niemiec Konwinski, baseball was her passion, and her biggest dream came true when she signed her first professional contract while she was still in high school! In her autobiography,Summertime Dreams, Yes - Girls Can Play Baseball! Dolly shares the excitement of traveling across the country on a barnstorming tour, being called up to the big league and having to battle each season for a spot in the AAGPBL play-offs. Even after a horrific career-ending accident, baseball has continued to be one of the highlights of her life, leading her to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1988 and to spot in the 1992 classic motion picture, A League of Their Own. From roller-skating as a schoolgirl in Chicago, to pro baseball, and on to a National Championship in Match Team Bowling, Dolly has managed to cram an incredible number of personal accomplishments into just one lifetime. As her story points out, she attained her goals through perseverance and by never taking "no" for an answer, and it's been these same values and ideals that have been so vital in her own personal game plan for success. Summertime Dreams is a lot more than just another book about baseball. It's a story of love, family, disappointment, hard work and dedication . . . all the things that help make dreams come true. It's a sure bet to entertain and inspire readers of all ages.

After pitching just two seasons for the New York Yankees, Eli Grba was the first player selected by the American League's new franchise, the Los Angeles Angels, in the expansion draft of 1960. Armed with a blazing fastball and devastating slider, he was destined for major league stardom. A beautiful home and family, and a promising career in baseball were all his for the taking until the demons of alcohol addiction took them all from him. In his autobiography, Baseball's Fallen Angel, Eli candidly recalls his lonely childhood in South Chicago, his successes as a scholastic athlete and his bizarre stint in the U.S. Army. He also delivers a personal, season-by-season account of his life in professional baseball, recounting his triumphs as well as his disappointments. Baseball's Fallen Angel is the true story of a major league pitcher who fought his way back from the depths of addiction to ultimately score the most thrilling victory of them all, a come-from-behind win in the game of life.
