Knowing what Hollywood likes to do to such stories, I have my doubts. However, if you want a real, unvarnished account of an African-American coach leading a southern high school football team through its first year of integration, this is the book for you. Black Coach is a ...             Pitching, Revised Edition: The Keys to Excellence (Sports Illustrated Winner's Circle Books)4 reviews Pat Jordan Sports Illustrated, 1993 Great Book for younger players I think that this book is the most complete book about pitching that I have read. It covers the aspects of pitching better that any of the other books I have seen. The only part not written well is the section on conditioning. I thought Nolan Ryan's book did a better job on that aspect of pitching.             A Nice Tuesday9 reviews Pat Jordan Bison Books, 2005 Better Than Any Baseball Book This book is not about baseball, and it is not a sequel to "A False Spring," which was a classic in its own right. It is also not about dogs, cigars, fast cars or South Florida, although all of those things figure prominently in the book. Instead, "A Nice Tuesday" is a deeper, fuller portrait of an unusually talented guy living out his life as best he can despite a nagging feeling that he has ...             The Best Sports Writing of Pat Jordan2 reviews Pat Jordan Persea, 2008 SIMPLY AMAZING I was so anxious to read this book that I paid for expedited shipping. My excitement was spot on. This book is amazing. Pat Jordan is so honest and insightful that I felt as though I knew more about the individuals than before I read the book. There was nothing fluffy in any of the interviews. And although you wonder about the appropriateness of the story on child beauty pageants, it fits in ...             AKA Sheila Doyle Pat Jordan Orion, 2004             A False Spring18 reviews Pat Jordan Bison Books, 2005 HE PLAYED THE GAME Those of us who are profesional sportswriters spend a lot of time in press boxes with other writers who criticize what they see on the field, but either never played the game or never played it well. "The Suitors of Spring" is brilliantly written by Pat Jordan, who did play the game. It also brings to mind some of the best sports books ever. "Ball Four's" Jim Bouton played the game. "North ...             Aircraft Wrecks in the Mountains and Deserts of California, 1909-2002 (3rd edition)4 reviews Gary Pat Macha, Don Jordan Info Net Pub, 2002 Extremely interesting and completely useless I was thrilled to find this book (second edition) and anxious to read it and maybe do a little wreck finding here in California. The list of plane types with crash circumstances is extensive and I guess that's nice. My hat is off to the author for his compilation skills. However, this book is billed as a "guidebook to locating historical aircraft crash sites..." which is hardly the truth. ...             Sports illustrated pitching Pat Jordan Harper & Row, 1985 Explains the basics of pitching and proper techniques for throwing the fastball, curveball, slider, screwball, knuckleball, and others.             Steps to a successful physical education teacher education workshop.: An article from: Physical Educator Marcy R.

His careers (baseball and writing) are documented in his memoirs, A False Spring and A Nice Tuesday. Having read those books first, I had a good insight into the author, which made this book more enjoyable but was not really necessary to appreciate the writing in ...             Crystal Waters: A Guide to Hot Springs & the Ouachitas Pat Jordan Heartland Pr, 1990             a.k.a.
