books by Glenn Stout     books:       Babe Ruth: Legends in Sports (Matt Christopher Legends in Sports) Matt Christopher, Glenn Stout Little, Brown Young Readers, 2005 In a career that spanned more than 30 years, George Herman -Babe+ Ruth changed the way the sport of baseball was played. He was the first true power hitter, a strong pitcher, and in the outfield made some amazing game-saving catches. His love of the sport shined through in the way he laughed while jogging around the bases, in how he kidded and horsed around with teammates, and in his overall determination to win. But there was a darker side to ...             Yankees Century: 100 Years of New York Yankees Baseball6 reviews Glenn Stout Houghton Mifflin, 2002 100% Satisfaction I was led to this book by a recent review by Eric Neel on ESPN.com. He wrote, "It says here that 14 percent of Americans root for the Yankees and the other 86 percent root for their demise. No fence sitting ; you're in or you're out with the Yanks. I'm sure the 14 percent have this book already and that they're reading it aloud to their kids every night before bed, wiping tears from the kids' ...             On the Court with Kobe Bryant5 reviews Matt Christopher, Glenn Stout Little, Brown Young Readers, 2001 Bio of Kobe Bryant Kobe Bryant maybe one of the youngest basketball players in the NBA. He is the son of Joe"Jeallybean" Bryant, a basketball player and star of various European teams.

His basketball education was a unique combination of lessons on basic fundamentals, ...             Great Moments in Baseball History4 reviews Matt Christopher, Glenn Stout Little, Brown Young Readers, 1996 A must read for young ball players My boys (9 and 14) have read many of Matt Christopher's books. All are good, some are great treats. I gave a copy of "The Kid Who Only Hit Homers" to each boy on my baseball team last year. They loved it! This year I am giving each player a copy of Christopher's "Great Moments." I read this collection of great moments (an unassisted triple play in the World Series for example) to my boys ...             On the Course with...Tiger Woods (Athlete Biographies)4 reviews Matt Christopher, Glenn Stout Little, Brown Young Readers, 1998 the bbbbboooook!

Derek Jeter (On the Field with... Derek Jeter) (Athlete Biographies)9 reviews Matt Christopher, Glenn Stout Little, Brown Young Readers, 2005 Must read at the Plate with Derek Jeter The book I'm reviewing is At the Plate with Derek Jeter by Matt Christopher. I think this book deserves five stars. This book is a Derek Jeter biography. A problem that occurs in this story is when he's in high school. He almost gets cut from the team. This tells you how Derek Jeter became a pro baseball player. I would recommend this book to anybody. Emerson N.J. fifth grade student             Mia Hamm: On the Field with...

Johnson Houghton Mifflin, 2004 Dodger History Primer Clearly 120 years of baseball seasons gives you a lot to write about. Like most LA Dodgers fans my understanding of Dodger history comes almost entirely from listening to Vin Scully announcing games. This book helps fill in the gaps. The book is an easy read and covers all of the main events and people in Dodger history. This book is for people who want to know the Dodger history basics ...             Everything They Had: Sports Writing from David Halberstam3 reviews David Halberstam Hyperion, 2008 Wonderful Sports Writing In "Everything They Had," we get the lighter side of David Halberstam. A noted Pulitzer winning journalist and writer of contemporary history, he also wrote many books and articles about sports such as baseball, football, basketball, and fishing. Sports were the fun part of his life as a writer. In fact he noted that taking time for his sports projects were his way of taking a sabbatical. This ...             The Best American Sports Writing 1999 (The Best American Series (TM))3 reviews Richard, guest editor Ford, Glenn, series editor Stout Houghton Mifflin, 1999 Home Run, Touchdown, Triumph If you've liked previous editions, you'll enjoy this one, too. Same formula, and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of human-interest stories from the sports world. Choosing a favorite or two is tough, but I love the bittersweet ones, such as about one of baseball's great "bonus baby" players who never panned out, or about the insane distance bicycle racer. I'm delighted to see an article from ...             At the Plate With ... Ichiro2 reviews Matt Christopher, Glenn Stout Little, Brown Young Readers, 2003 The story of Ichiro's successful rookie season in 2001 Although "At the Plate with...Ichiro" ends with the Seattle Mariner's rookie season in 2001 it is still worth reading. That is because the point of Matt Christopher's book is how a player everybody said was too short, too skinny, and too weak to make it in professional baseball in the United States ended up winning both the American League Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player awards. ...             New York Yankees: Yesterday & Today1 review Glenn Stout Publications International, 2007 The House That Babe Ruth Built I recommend this book to any NY Yankees Fan to have.For memories to share with other NY Yankee Fans and Friends over the years as "The Greatest Team With Super Players On The Field".And as"The Greatest Team As World Champions"played in MLB History.A keepsafe book of the origional Bronx Stadium Ever Built.             On the Court with...

Venus and Serena Williams Matt Christopher, Glenn Stout Little, Brown Young Readers, 2002 The Williams sister have captured the attention of the tennis crowd like no one has in recent years. Taken alone, each is a force to be reckoned with on the court. Each has the skills, the determination, and the strength to make it to the very top of her sport. Yet through all the competition - even times when they face each other on opposite sides of the net - they remain true to each other.             The Cubs: The Complete Story of Chicago Cubs Baseball7 reviews Glenn Stout Houghton Mifflin, 2007 Among the top of more than 125 Cubs books I have more than 125 books on the Cubs, and this certainly ranks among the top three or four. Not only is it an informative and detailed history, but it's readable as well. The pictures alone are just fascinating to browse through and pore over, and it's obvious that a skilled editor oversaw the entire project. A must-have book for any Cubs fan.             The Best American Sports Writing 2002 (The Best American Series)3 reviews Houghton Mifflin, 2002 Last Year in Sports As is always true with these annual "Best of ..." books, there are several notable omissions that deserved to be included, but there is enough good material to make it well worth its price. More than anything it is a nice reminder of all that went on in sports in 2001, with several well written profiles of athletes, events, and sports that may not have received much coverage but are still ...             On the Court With... Shaquille O' Neal Matt Christopher, Glenn Stout Little, Brown Young Readers, 2003             On the Bike With ... Lance Armstrong2 reviews Matt Christopher, Glenn Stout Little, Brown Young Readers, 2003 Great Biography This biography by Matt Christopher is very informative. It gives a lot of information about Lance Armstrong so if you need to do a report about him this is a great book. It was interesting to learn about Lance's childhood and his determination to win and to beat cancer. It is inspiring. I recommend this book.             The Best American Sports Writing 2008 (The Best American Series)2 reviews Houghton Mifflin, 2008 Top Sports Book of the Year This collection delivers in every way.
