The Magnificent Screwball Rube Waddell
6 pp · non-fiction; biography; sports

George Edward Waddell, baseball's most eccentric pitcher, catches the eye of Philadelphia Athletics manager Connie Mack, who sees past the "Rube's" screwball antics—like eating animal crackers in bed and wrestling live alligators—to his genuine talent on the mound. As Waddell racks up remarkable strikeout totals and wins throughout the early 1900s, his unpredictable nature and refusal to settle down threaten to derail both his career and Mack's patience, testing whether the manager can keep his star pitcher focused long enough to capitalize on his extraordinary gifts.

Follow the chestnut colt's journey from the auction block to racing glory, as he sets records and earns his place among the greatest champions of the Golden Twenties, ultimately retiring to Faraway Farms to sire a new generation of champions. This is the saga of a horse whose spirit and greatness left an indelible mark on the sport and the hearts of all who knew him.

Pigskin Oddities
1 pp · non-fiction; sports

Bill Stern's Sports Book brings you "Pigskin Oddities," a collection of remarkable football moments that shaped the sport from its earliest days—like the first cheering at the 1869 Princeton-Rutgers game, a record-breaking kicking performance by Forest "Frosty" Peters in 1924, and an unforgettable 1943 Ohio State-Illinois matchup decided by a field goal after the game had already ended. These strange-but-true stories celebrate the oddball plays, unlikely heroes, and quirky footnotes that prove college football history is just as entertaining as the game itself.

Shamrocks and Baskets the Original Celtics
6 pp · non-fiction; sports

A basketball promoter named Jim Furey recognizes the potential to revolutionize the sport by uniting the era's greatest players into a permanent, salaried team—the Original Celtics—rather than letting them drift between towns and employers. Following their formation in the early 1920s, the Celtics become legendary pioneers, developing fundamental innovations like the pivot play and the defensive switch that transform basketball from a loose "wildcat" game into a strategic science. With a core roster of five players—Chris Leonard, Nat Holman, Horse Haggerty, Johnny Beckman, and Dutch Dehnert—they dominate the professional circuit and inspire rivals and fans alike to regard them as something beyond ordinary athletes.
