Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first time fabled pitcher Smokey Joe Hood held a baseball in his hand he knew it was meant to be thrown and thrown hard. And so he did. Harder and faster than any man who ever lived. A smoking fastball took him to the pinnacle of the game, but his passion for practical jokes and tall tales made him a legend to love and laugh with. In his inimitable style, he tells the story of a life that took him from the Kentucky farmlands of his youth to baseball's hall of fame, a life full of mischief, wild times and rousing baseball games. Along the way, we meet a cast of dazzling characters who join Smokey Joe on a romp through the glory days of baseball. On and off the field, Smokey Joe was truly a lovable, rollicking giant of his times."

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2014 SEYMOUR MEDAL sponsored by the Society for American Baseball Research and finalist for 2014 SABR Larry Ritter Award Though his pitching career lasted only a few seasons, Howard Ellsworth "Smoky Joe" Wood was one of the most dominating figures in baseball history--a man many consider the best baseball player who is not in the Hall of Fame. About his fastball, Hall of Fame pitcher Walter Johnson once said: "Listen, mister, no man alive can throw harder than Smoky Joe Wood." Smoky Joe Wood chronicles the singular life befitting such a baseball legend. Wood got his start impersonating a female on the National Bloomer Girls team. A natural athlete, he pitched for the Boston Red Sox at eighteen, won twenty-one games and threw a no-hitter at twenty-one, and had a 34-5 record plus three wins in the 1912 World Series, for a 1.91 ERA, when he was just twenty-two. Then in 1913 Wood suffered devastating injuries to his right hand and shoulder that forced him to pitch in pain for two more years. After sitting out the 1916 season, he came back as a converted outfielder and played another five years for the Cleveland Indians before retiring to coach the Yale University baseball team. With details culled from interviews and family archives, this biography, the first of this rugged player of the Deadball Era, brings to life one of the genuine characters of baseball history.

Book excerpt: "If you love playing baseball, herein lies a beautiful story." --- Jeff Howell The crack of the bat or the pop of the mitt over the "hey batter batter" rhyme of the infield... my oh my! What does this baseball team know about the game that so many others seem to miss? What is their secret and how do they do it? The coach believes this group of 10 - 13 year old boys has a chance to win a lot of baseball games. He also knows they could very easily end the season sooner than they want. Will they be able to trust in his simple concept? Young, passionate, and courageous boys are taught valuable lessons in a magical season that interjects into their personal lives this wonderful game we call baseball. In the intersection of their lives with the game of Little League baseball, will they be able to take the biggest prize of all?
