Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Why does a curveball curve? What is a ?can of corn?? Why was Joe DiMaggio called the ?Yankee Clipper?? Who wrote ?Take Me Out to the Ball Game?? How many times did Ty Cobb steal home? In this edition of Baseball Miscellany, the fascinating history and lore of our national pastime is finally revealed! For example, the reason a curveball curves is that its spin drags a layer of air across one surface of the ball faster than it does across the opposite surface. A ?can of corn? is slang for an easy-to-catch fly ball, the term originating from a general store clerk reaching up and dropping a can from a high shelf. Sportswriters dubbed Joe DiMaggio the ?Yankee Clipper? because he glided about the outfield with beauty and grace, like a clipper ship on the ocean. The lyrics to ?Take Me Out to the Ball Game? were written in 1908 by vaudeville star Jack Norworth, who, while riding the subway, was inspired by a sign that said ?Baseball Today?Polo Grounds.? And the great Ty Cobb stole home a whopping fifty-four times?fifty more than the career leader in total stolen bases, Rickey Henderson. Packed with all manner of delightful surprises, beautiful illustrations and photographs, and delicious nuggets of information, Baseball Miscellany demystifies the origins and customs of America?s most celebrated game. From spring training through the World Series, you?ll be entertained with fun, little-known facts. Why do baseball players wear stirrup socks? Who invented the catcher?s mask? What major-league team passed up on signing eighteen-year-old Willie Mays in 1949.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Following Star Wars: Aftermath and Star Wars: Life Debt, Chuck Wendig delivers the exhilarating conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy set in the years between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. EVERY END IS A NEW BEGINNING. As the final showdown between the New Republic and the Empire draws near, all eyes turn to a once-isolated planet: Jakku. The Battle of Endor shattered the Empire, scattering its remaining forces across the galaxy. But the months following the Rebellion's victory have not been easy. The fledgling New Republic has suffered a devastating attack from the Imperial remnant, forcing the new democracy to escalate its hunt for the hidden enemy. For her role in the deadly ambush, Grand Admiral Rae Sloane is the most wanted Imperial war criminal--and one-time rebel pilot Norra Wexley, back in service at Leia's urgent request, is leading the hunt. But more than just loyalty to the New Republic drives Norra forward: Her husband was turned into a murderous pawn in Sloane's assassination plot, and now she wants vengeance as much as justice. Sloane, too, is on a furious quest: pursuing the treacherous Gallius Rax to the barren planet Jakku. As the true mastermind behind the Empire's devastating attack, Rax has led the Empire to its defining moment. The cunning strategist has gathered the powerful remnants of the Empire's war machine, preparing to execute the late Emperor Palpatine's final plan. As the Imperial fleet orbits Jakku, an armada of Republic fighters closes in to finish what began at Endor. Norra and her crew soar into the heart of an apocalyptic clash that will leave land and sky alike scorched. And the future of the galaxy will finally be decided.
