| jack buck 9 11 poem: Are We Winning? Will Leitch, 2010-04-20 A hilarious tribute to baseball and to the fathers and sons who share the love of the game. Are We Winning? is built around a trip to Wrigley Field to watch the St. Louis Cardinals play the Chicago Cubs--the lovable losers to most fans but the hated enemy to the Leitch men. Along for the ride are both Will's father, the gregarious but not-exactly demonstrative Midwestern titan who, despite being a die-hard Cards fan and living his whole life just 200 miles south of Chicago, had never been to Wrigley Field before this game, and Will's college friend, a lifelong Cubs fan. The Cardinals have recently fallen out of the pennant race, and the Cubs, as it turns out, are attempting to clinch the division on this Saturday afternoon in September. The pitchers are Ted Lilly for the Cubs and Joel Pineiro for the Cardinals. It's just a regular game. Play ball. The book unfolds in half-inning increments where Will gives one-of-a-kind insight on the past, present, and future of the game--from Pujols' unrivaled greatness to the myth that steroids have ruined baseball. Along the way, he shares memories of his father and growing up in the small town of Mattoon, including the year his dad coached his Little League team and nicknamed a scrawny kid Bulldog, and an unlikely postgame episode involving a biker bar and Mr. Holland's Opus. And there is beer. Lots and lots of beer. Are We Winning? is a book about the indelible bond that links fathers and sons. For the Leitch men it's baseball that holds them together--not that either of them would ever be so weak as to admit it. No matter how far apart they are or what's going on in their lives, they'll always be able to talk about baseball. It's the story of being a fan, a story about fathers, sons, and legacies. And one perfect game. |

| jack buck 9 11 poem: If These Walls Could Talk: St. Louis Cardinals Stan McNeal, 2023-05-09 Fully revised and updated for 2023! The St. Louis Cardinals are one of baseball's most storied franchises, and as much a part of St. Louis as Anheuser-Busch and the arch. From Lou Brock to Matt Carpenter, Ozzie Smith to Yadier Molina, Bob Gibson to Adam Wainwright, from Hall of Famers to rookie busts, the Cardinals are beloved in St. Louis. In this book, Stan McNeal provides a closer look at the great moments and the lowlights that have made the Cardinals one of the baseball's keystone teams. Through the words of the players, via multiple interviews conducted with current and past Cardinals, readers will meet the players, coaches, and management and share in their moments of greatness and defeat. This book shares stories behind such Cardinal memories as the little-known clubhouse antics of backup catcher Bob Uecker during the teams' memorable run in the 1960s, the excitement at Busch Stadium in the 1980s as the Cardinals reached the World Series three times, and the elation of the 2006 and 2011 World Series championships. |

| jack buck 9 11 poem: Base Ball on the Western Reserve James M. Egan, Jr., 2008-05-21 Cleveland and the surrounding area was home to one of the earliest and most active baseball scenes outside of the eastern seaboard. This extraordinarily detailed history combines author commentary with first-hand accounts to document baseball's rapid development and popularization in the region during the decades following the Civil War. Ordered chronologically and then geographically by town, chapters follow the game's rise from the earliest reports on ball in 1841, to the era of loosely organized, town-to-town rivalries and semipro clubs, and finally through the early era of the professional, and eventually major league, sport. |

| jack buck 9 11 poem: Encyclopedia of American Short Films, 1926-1959 Graham Webb, 2020-07-10 Short subject films have a long history in American cinemas. These could be anywhere from 2 to 40 minutes long and were used as a filler in a picture show that would include a cartoon, a newsreel, possibly a serial and a short before launching into the feature film. Shorts could tackle any topic of interest: an unusual travelogue, a comedy, musical revues, sports, nature or popular vaudeville acts. With the advent of sound-on-film in the mid-to-late 1920s, makers of earlier silent short subjects began experimenting with the short films, using them as a testing ground for the use of sound in feature movies. After the Second World War, and the rising popularity of television, short subject films became far too expensive to produce and they had mostly disappeared from the screens by the late 1950s. This encyclopedia offers comprehensive listings of American short subject films from the 1920s through the 1950s. |

| jack buck 9 11 poem: Jack Buck , 2003-01 Soldier, poet, broadcaster, emcee, philanthropist, friend, colleague, sports fan. Jack Buck was many things to many people in his 77 years -- but the role that he was most suited to was that of family man. Here in the pages of Jack Buck: Forever a Winner, his family shares an inside look at the man they shared with the world. To many, Jack Buck was baseball. Several generations of devoted Cardinal fans considered the warm, deep tones of Jack's voice the very essence of summer. Sitting on the back porch, listening to Jack calling a doubleheader, made you feel like you were right there in the ballpark. Jack's calls highlighted so many great moments in Cardinals history -- Bob Gibson's no-hitter, Lou Brock's stolen-base record, Ozzie Smith's playoff home run. You held your breath as Jack narrated Mark McGwire's quest for home-run immortality. And all of baseball shared his disbelief following Kirk Gibson's 1988 World Series home run, when Jack exclaimed, I don't believe what I just saw! There is no doubt that Jack had a way with words, whether in spoken or written form. He occasionally shared another dimension of his personality with the public: his gift for poetry. His reading at Busch Stadium of the patriotic poem he wrote following the events of 9/11 left few dry eyes in the audience and restarted baseball for many Americans. This poem and a collection of his other touching verses are featured in these pages. On that sad day in June of 2002, when the nation lost Jack after his long struggle with illness, a great voice in the history of American culture was silenced. Players, broadcasters, and fans from around the world expressed their admiration for the beloved icon and grieved the loss of this amiable spirit. Book jacket. |
| jack buck 9 11 poem: Plie Ball! Jeffrey M. Katz, 2016-09-27 From the vaudeville gyrations of New York Giants star pitchers Rube Marquard and Christy Mathewson, to Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra as hoofing infielders in Take Me Out to the Ball Game, to the stage and screen versions of Damn Yankees, the connection between baseball and dance is an intimate, perhaps surprising one. Covering more than a century of dancing ballplayers and baseball-inspired dance, this entertaining study examines the connection in film and television, in theatrical productions and in choreography created for some of the greatest dancers and dance companies in the world. |

| jack buck 9 11 poem: The Selected Letters of Robert Creeley Robert Creeley, 2014 Robert Creeley is one of the most celebrated and influential of the postwar American poets. His Selected Letters, covering the years 1945-2005 are a foundational document in the recent history of North American letters. Through his engagements with mentors such as William Carlos Williams and Ezra Pound; peers such as Charles Olson, Robert Duncan, Denise Levertov, Allen Ginsberg, and Jack Kerouac and mentees such as Charles Bernstein, Anselm Berrigan, Ed Dorn, Susan Howe, and Tom Raworth, Creeley helped forge a new poetry that re-imagined writing for his and subsequent generations. A stylist of the highest order, Creeley's letters carry the clear mark of consummate literary artistry and document the life, work, and times of one of our greatest writers-- |

She has self-published two chapbooks, and her poems have appeared in books published by City Lights. Here is her first collection of poems specifically for teens.
