Changeover
NATIONAL BESTSELLER * ONE OF THE NEW YORKER'S BEST BOOKS OF 2025 (SO FAR) * BLOOMBERG'S 10 BEST BOOKS OF SUMMER 2025 * TOWN & COUNTRY'S BEST BOOKS OF AUGUST * INSIDE HOOK'S 10 BEST BOOKS OF AUGUST * The story of Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and their epic new rivalry, as told by "the best tennis writer in America" (Brian Phillips, The Ringer). For more than two decades, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer dominated men's tennis so thoroughly that it became difficult to imagine how the game would keep its shine once they retired. Then came 2024--the first year since 2002 that none of them won a Grand Slam tournament--and a technicolor future was revealed. The major titles were divided between a pair of prodigies in their early twenties: the effervescent showman Carlos Alcaraz, whose infinite variety of shots won him the French Open and Wimbledon; and the relentlessly cool Jannik Sinner, whose power and precision secured him the Australian Open and US Open even amid a doping controversy. Though other young contenders jostled for the spotlight, and Djokovic tried to hold his ground, the transcendentally gifted Alcaraz and Sinner just kept installing their new regime. Punctuated with humor, brimming with insight, and rooted in a true fan's love of the game, this work of elevated sports journalism is a captivating primer to the rivalry poised to define the next decade of the sport.
Spirit of a Team
Experience the leadership and life paths of the top football coaches from high school to college to the NFL mixed with CEOs who have succeeded in business on the field, as Coach Lee Owens interviews all of them to give readers a look at the path to excellence. Coach Lee Owens (Ashland University, Ohio State University, and Massillon High School), has been writing this book for the past forty-five years. During his coaching career, he had the opportunity to take over six struggling high school and college football teams. Each time the challenge was different, but the message was the same. He told each team they would be champions, and each time it happened. The blueprint for achieving team excellence works in the locker room, but it can also work in the boardroom. Motivating a team of football players is no different from motivating a team of salespeople or motivating your team at home. The Spirit of a Team gives readers real-life examples of how actual CEOs, coaches, and players used these skills to achieve success in the biggest arenas of business and sport. Lee Owens and Larry Phillips sat down with multiple individuals who exemplify leadership. Read the stories of Matt LaFleur, Luke Fickell, Dwight Schar, Sue Ramsey, Steve Clinkscale, Nate Moore, Matt Kaulig, Carl Johnson, Dan Niss, Bob Sebo, and more. Their stories are not only inspiring, but also a validation of the building blocks to team excellence that The Spirit of a Team outlines, mixed with Coach Lee Owens's twenty-six years of coaching experience and Larry Phillips's thirty-five years of journalistic insights.

Vinotinto Venezuela B矇isbol, 1939-2024
Wearing the "Vinotinto," or burgundy red, a symbol of national pride, Venezuelan teams carry the spirit of a nation where passion for sports runs deep. This book chronicles the journey of nearly 500 Venezuelan baseball players from 1939 through 2024 who have reached Major League Baseball. It explores how baseball became a mirror of Venezuelan society, its triumphs, challenges, and evolving identity, through the words of SABR researchers and respected Venezuelan writers. In Venezuela, a country defined by rich natural resources, complex social dynamics, and a vibrant cultural identity, baseball has emerged as both a unifying force and a lasting source of pride. Introduced during the early twentieth century through American influence and fueled by the oil boom, the sport quickly captured the hearts of Venezuelans and became a cultural cornerstone. Passion ignited with legendary figures like Luis Aparicio Ortega, "El Grande de Maracaibo," and was cemented by Venezuela's historic win at the 1941 Amateur Baseball World Series in Havana, Cuba. The journey to Major League Baseball began in 1939 with Alex "Patón" Carrasquel, the first Venezuelan to play in the big leagues. But it was Luis Aparicio Jr., "Little Louie" who blazed a trail as the first Venezuelan inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, earning his place in 1984 and inspiring generations to dream of the major leagues. With a foreword by Ozzie Guillén-the first Latino manager to win a World Series-and insights from Juan Vené, "The Dean" of Venezuelan baseball journalism, this volume also features editorial contributions from award-winning journalist and producer Leonte Landino. Embracing the collaborative efforts of 35 members of the Society for American Baseball Research, this book is more than a chronicle of achievements-it is a tribute to the enduring legacy, global impact, and unmatched resilience of Venezuelan baseball, infused with nostalgia and tradition that reflect a proud and persevering culture.
Wrecking Ball
Suit up with celebrated literary master Rick Bass as he writes, ala Buzz Bissinger (Friday Night Lights) and George Plimpton (Paper Lions), through the prism of battered semi-professional football and the refractions it casts on matters of race, masculinity, and yes, faith. The Montana writer Norman Maclean wrote, "In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing." Rick Bass, born and raised in Houston, knows that in Texas, there's no clear line between religion and football. In Wrecking Ball: Race, Friendship, God, and Football, award-winning writer Rick Bass chronicles three seasons on the field with the Texas Express, a semiprofessional team in the Dynamic Texas Football Association. This is unsung football. Light-years from the NFL, it has nowhere near the pomp of college football nor even of Texas high-school football, where hometown fans' civic identity is always on the line. In the hardscrabble world of spring-season semipro ball, there are no fans. Eventually even the players' families avoid these games. Most players are in their twenties, but some are older. Every year a few get to try out for the college game; others get scholarship money and a shot at another life. But for most, this is their last chance. Many--most--get hurt. One hundred and fifty-five pounds dripping wet and forty-five years past his playing career as a one-season walk-on at Utah State, Rick Bass came to Brenham, a flyspeck town outside of Houston, to write about the Express. But with a disastrous season unfolding and injuries, incarcerations, and plain boredom claiming players every week, Bass was induced to suit up and take the field. Suddenly the writer became part of the story in a tale reminiscent of George Plimpton and Paper Lion. Rick's experience on and off the field and his observations about the game, the terrible injuries, the expectations and pleasures of comradery, the overriding influence of the coach, and race, poverty, and, yes, religion on the field, are the unforgettable subjects of Wrecking Ball.

Two Crowns, One Pride
In 1921 the Football Association banned women from playing on its pitches, declaring the game "quite unsuitable." A century later the Lionesses lifted two consecutive European titles and filled Wembley to bursting. Two Crowns, One Pride traces every muddy boot-print of that improbable ascent.Across fourteen richly researched chapters the book moves from factory-yard kick-abouts and illicit tours in post-war Europe to data-driven training camps and sold-out derbies at the Emirates. It spotlights pioneers like Lily Parr and Gill Coultard; architects such as Hope Powell, Phil Neville and Sarina Wiegman; and the new vanguard-Lauren James, Leah Williamson, Chloe Kelly-who turned possibility into dynasty.Beyond trophies, the narrative reveals the sport's deeper legacy: schoolgirls queuing for trials in villages that never had girls' leagues, fathers cooking tea so daughters can watch mid-week WSL matches, and a cultural re-write in which "playing like a girl" becomes a compliment. Combining match-day drama with social history, Two Crowns, One Pride is both chronicle and celebration-proof that the world's game is finally everyone's game.

The Goalkeeper's History of Britain
The beguiling story of one boy's dream to play in goal, that most British of positions, culminating in the moment when he faces the mighty Zico ... If the French are the flair in midfield, the Germans the attack from the inside channels, the Italians the cry-foul defence, then Britain is the goalkeeper: stand alone, the bastion of last resort, more solid than spectacular, part of the team - and yet not. And Britain's place in the world is epitomised by its goalkeepers: post war austerity is embodied in Bert Williams (Walsall and England), a wartime PT boy whose athleticism scarcely concealed a masochistic edge: he ended his training routine with a full-length dive on to concrete; the end of Empire abroad came as the army and politicians were being humiliated in Suez and the football team, despite the best efforts of Gill Merrick (Birmingham and England), were being humbled by the Hungarians at home; the thawing of the cold war is begun not over Cuban missiles but over Lev Yashin, the superb and widely admired Russian whose arrival for the world cup in 1966 changes the attitudes of a nation - the Reds cannot be all bad if they have such an exemplary keeper. And for Peter Chapman (Orient Schoolboys and one appearance in the World Eleven to face Brasil), like his father before him (Armed Forces), it is always the goalkeeper who is the indicator of national well-being. A genuine, touching story of a nation's affection for football's perennial underdog, of a childhood obsession and of a glorious footballing tradition from Kelsey to Jennings, Swift to Trautmann, Bonetti to Shilton that culminates - perhaps ends even - in the last truly British goalkeeper: David Seaman.

Watford Forever
Nothing has brought English soccer more immediately into the American mainstream than Ted Lasso, which captivated the nation in thirty-four episodes over three seasons. But before there was Jason Sudeikis's lovable and, at first, hapless AFC Richmond, there was Watford Football Club, a team from the outskirts of London with barely enough fans to fill its stands--and which, in the mid-1970s, was languishing in 92nd place at the bottom of the last division of the English Football League. That is, until rock superstar Elton John--who, with his dad, had followed the team as a boy--bought the lowly franchise and, with legendary manager Graham Taylor, transformed the luckless football club into a top-seeded Premier League team. Inspiring, funny, and ultimately heartbreaking, Watford Forever recalls the improbably tender relationship between Elton John and Taylor, a straight-talking former fullback, who together beat the odds and their personal demons to save a club and a struggling community.
Sudden Death
In pro football, the 1965 NFL season was an exclamation point in the sport's golden age. It was the turning point in the war between the establishment NFL and the insurgent AFL and featured many of the greatest players ever like Johnny Unitas and Jim Brown, who were longtime stars, and Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers, who were first-year wonders. And that season offered an epic Western Conference battle between two great teams-the Green Bay Packers and the Baltimore Colts. On the sidelines, Vince Lombardi and Don Shula. On the field, sixteen future members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame such as Unitas, Bart Starr, Lenny Moore, Ray Nitschke, John Mackey, Forrest Gregg, Raymond Berry, Herb Adderley, Jim Parker, and Jim Taylor. After 14 weeks, the two teams were tied. One game the day after Christmas at newly named Lambeau Field would decide the conference championship. And then after four quarters and a stalemate, just one score would. This is the story of the 1965 NFL season told through that historic conference race between Green Bay and Baltimore and played against the backdrop of national unrest and war in Vietnam.
The Open Question
Golfing legend Ben Hogan went to his grave believing he had won a record five US Open titles. The USGA says otherwise, and the controversy has endured for over 75 years. In 1942, the United States Golf Association (USGA) cancelled its four golf tournaments for the duration of World War II. But then it did something different in only that year-it sponsored the Hale-America National Open on the same weekend as the cancelled US Open. The great Ben Hogan won that tournament and went to his grave believing he had therefore won a record five US Open titles. In The Open Question, Peter May turns his attention to this controversial, colorful Hale-America National Open of 1942. While providing an in-depth look at the tournament itself, May champions Hogan's claim to five US Open titles and debunks some questionable assertions that the tournament was not worthy of a US Open. Set against the backdrop of World War II, May also tells the stories of other professional golfers in the tournament and the impact of the war on all their lives. The USGA has never recognized the Hale-America Tournament as an official US Open and remains firm in its stance. It was a decision that bothered Ben Hogan for the rest of his life. The Open Question shows how dominant Ben Hogan was against some of the biggest names in golf, and reveals why he deserves to be recognized as a five-time US Open winner.
Attorneys in the Baseball Hall of Fame
There is no greater honor for anyone in baseball than being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Since its creation in 1936, the Hall has inducted 346 individuals. Of this number, only 11 have been lawyers. This book celebrates this unique group, which consists of three players (Hughie Jennings, Jim O'Rourke, and Monte Ward); two managers (Miller Huggins and Tony La Russa); three executives (Larry MacPhail, Walter O'Malley, and Branch Rickey); and three commissioners (Happy Chandler, Bowie Kuhn, and Kenesaw Mountain Landis). Each inductee is the subject of a detailed essay that recounts their legal education, admission to the bar, and legal career. Written by either a law professor or a law librarian, the essays are the product of extensive research and are supplemented by an exhaustive set of notes.

Two Crowns, One Pride
In 1921 the Football Association banned women from playing on its pitches, declaring the game "quite unsuitable." A century later the Lionesses lifted two consecutive European titles and filled Wembley to bursting. Two Crowns, One Pride traces every muddy boot-print of that improbable ascent.Across fourteen richly researched chapters the book moves from factory-yard kick-abouts and illicit tours in post-war Europe to data-driven training camps and sold-out derbies at the Emirates. It spotlights pioneers like Lily Parr and Gill Coultard; architects such as Hope Powell, Phil Neville and Sarina Wiegman; and the new vanguard-Lauren James, Leah Williamson, Chloe Kelly-who turned possibility into dynasty.Beyond trophies, the narrative reveals the sport's deeper legacy: schoolgirls queuing for trials in villages that never had girls' leagues, fathers cooking tea so daughters can watch mid-week WSL matches, and a cultural re-write in which "playing like a girl" becomes a compliment. Combining match-day drama with social history, Two Crowns, One Pride is both chronicle and celebration-proof that the world's game is finally everyone's game.

Turf Wars
An NFL insider's explosive account of the ruthless power struggles between owners and players over the future of football.During his fourteen years as the head of the NFL Players Association, DeMaurice Smith was a front line advocate for football players through some of the most tumultuous crises in NFL history: Colin Kaepernick's protests, Deflategate, a lockout, two collective bargaining agreements, and more. But after witnessing the league's troubling response to discrimination and racial unrest, both within the league and beyond, Smith realized it was time to pull back the curtain and speak truth to power. Drawing from his years of unprecedented access and unparalleled knowledge of America's favorite sport, Smith documents his years leading the NFLPA and explains how the NFL distorts the truth, telling partial stories to insulate itself and grow its $20-billion-a-year brand--and the players' battles to protect themselves. From contract negotiations to battles over suspensions, Smith shows us how the union fought to protect players from the greed, racism, and dishonesty the league is built on. He also takes readers inside closed-door meetings and unreported conversations and confrontations with the industry's most powerful figures such as Robert Kraft, Jerry Jones, Tom Brady, and Roger Goodell. Turf Wars puts every NFL crisis--both familiar and lesser known--within a broader cultural and historical context, framing the league's extraordinary rise as a mirror to America's own history. Revelatory and profound, Turf Wars is a book about the soul of football: its degradation, and how to save it.

1978
The 1978 finals series was one we'd never seen before - and will likely never seen again. Seven-tackle sets. Not one but two matches needing to be replayed. One of which was the grand final. And the other one saw a team wanting the league to erase the result and stage a replay. Yes, a replay of a replay. As for that grand final replay, well that was played on a Tuesday afternoon - the only week-day premiership decider in history. If all that wasn't enough, one of the finalists was a perennial also-ran that ended up minor premiers. Another had two of their star players rubbed out due to suspension. And two of the other finalists were on the cusp of dominating the 1980s. Yes, the 1978 finals series was amazing.
