| old puckdoku: The California Golden Seals Steve Currier, 2020-10-01 Hockey has had its share of bizarre tales over the years, but none compare to the fascinating story of the California Golden Seals, a team that remains the benchmark for how not to run a sports franchise. From 1967 to 1978, a revolving door of players, apathetic owners, and ridiculous marketing decisions turned the Seals, originally based in Oakland, into hockey’s traveling circus. The team lost tons of money and games, cheated death more often than Evel Knievel, and left behind a long trail of broken dreams. Live seals were used as mascots, players wore skates that were painted white on an almost daily basis, and draft picks were dealt away nonchalantly like cards at a poker game. The California Golden Seals examines the franchise’s mismanaged—but always interesting—history, from its ballyhooed beginnings as a minor-league champion in the 1960s to its steep slide into oblivion in the late 1970s after moving to Cleveland. Through a season-by-season narrative, Currier brings to life the Seals’ history with lighthearted anecdotes, personal interviews, and statistics about hockey’s most infamous losing team. |
| old puckdoku: Shorthanded Brad Kurtzberg, 2006-02 The saga of the Oakland/California Seals nine-year journey through the NHL is a strange, funny and sad tale that is nearly forgotten and has never been told...until now. Off the ice, the history of the Seals is practically a tale of how not to run a franchise. The team joined the NHL in 1967 as part of the Second Six expansion teams and stayed in Oakland until moving to Cleveland in 1976. The Seals had seven different ownership groups in nine years and chaos reigned throughout the process. This book shows you the inner workings of a hockey club that was always on the brink of bankruptcy and/or relocating and takes you behind the scenes of many of the mistakes made by NHL owners and executives during the early years of expansion. It also chronicles the crazy days of ownership by Charlie Finley, a man who admittedly knew nothing about hockey but knew he wanted to run his team his way. Hilarity and disaster resulted. On the ice, the Seals met with little success but were never dull. In nine years, the team had to put up with white skates, few fans and a cast of characters that were unique This book allows the players and coaches to tell their own story. More than 110 interviews were conducted with former Seals players, owners, coaches and employees to get a clear picture of what it was like to play in the NHL in the 60s and 70s. The rise of the WHA, continuing expansion and more hilarious stories of what really happens to an NHL team on the road and in the locker room. Hockey fans will love this true tale of the Seals.hockey's most colorful team. |
| old puckdoku: Charlie Finley Roger D. Launius, G. Michael Green, 2010-07-11 Before the Bronx Zoo of George Steinbrenner and Billy Martin, there were the Oakland Athletics of the early 1970s, one of the most successful, most colorful-and most chaotic-baseball teams of all time. They were all of those things because of Charlie Finley. Not only the A's owner, he was also the general manager, personally assembling his team, deciding his players' salaries, and making player moves during the season-a level of involvement no other owner, not even Steinbrenner, engaged in. Drawing on interviews with dozens of Finley's players, family members, and colleagues, G. Michael Green and Roger D. Launius present Baseball's Super Showman (Time magazine's description of Finley on the cover of an August 1975 issue) in all his contradictions: generous yet vengeful, inventive yet destructive. The stories surrounding him are as colorful as the life he led, the chronicle of which fills an important gap in baseball's literature. |
| old puckdoku: Five Strides on the Banked Track Frank Deford, 2014-04-08 Illustrated with photographs by Walter Iooss Jr.: Iconic sportswriter and commentator Frank Deford’s first book brings to life one of America’s most thrilling—and misunderstood—sports entertainments, the Roller Derby, from its birth during the Great Depression to it second ascendancy in the late 1960s In Five Strides on the Banked Track, distinguished sports journalist Frank Deford opens a fascinating window on this exhilarating entertainment that operates according to its own set of unique rules—both on and off the track. The Derby began as an idea on a tablecloth in 1935 by Leo Seltzer. From its Great Depression roots—when young skaters would run away to join the Roller Derby in the same way one might run away to join the circus—through its prewar heyday, postwar decline, and ultimate rise to superstardom in the 1960s, Deford sweeps us along on an unforgettable journey. He brings together the players, the fans, the promoters, and the celebrities. He shares the exploits of Bay Bomber legend Charlie O’Connell, superstar Joanie Weston, and beloved villain Ann Calvello, with her dyed blue hair, who would ultimately go on to compete in Roller Derby in seven separate decades. Deford vividly captures the excitement of a sport Variety called “cathartic, dramatic, fast-paced, and classic as a John Wayne movie.” From the idolatry of the fans to the loneliness of the open road to the hard-charging frenzy of the arena, this is a rare glimpse into a uniquely American spectator sport that continues to reinvent and resurrect itself today. This definitive new edition includes a foreword by Jerry Seltzer and an introduction by Frank Deford. |
| old puckdoku: On Someone Else's Nickel Tim Ryan, 2016-09-13 The legendary commentator recounts his adventuresome life in the ever-changing world of sport broadcasting in this lively memoir: “I couldn’t put it down” (John McEnroe). Tim Ryan is no doubt the only sportscaster who has crash-landed in the Namib desert, been charged by a rhino in Zimbabwe, herded sheep at the beginning of a Winter Olympics telecast, and dodged flying bottles at a professional boxing match. In his new memoir, Ryan recounts all of these tales and more in the personable, trustworthy voice that sports fans will recognize from his countless television appearances. Armchair travelers and sports enthusiasts alike will be taken on a riveting journey as Ryan shares anecdotes from his adventures in broadcasting that span thirty sports in more than twenty countries over fifty years. And while the events themselves are impressive—ten Olympic Games, more than three hundred championship boxing matches, Wimbledon and US Open tennis, World Cup Skiing, just to name a few—it’s the lesser-known stories that happened along the way that really stand out in Ryan’s telling. As he details how he came to call the first Ali-Frazier fight for the Armed Forces Network, or hosted a tennis tournament featuring the McEnroe brothers to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association, Ryan shines a light on sports and the world beyond sports—the world of family, friends, colleagues, and connections that endure when the game has been won and the mic turned off. |

| old puckdoku: The Remarkable Adventures of an Old Woman and Her Pig Anonymous, 2019-12-04 The Remarkable Adventures of an Old Woman and Her Pig is a striking example of anonymous folk literature, weaving a captivating narrative that juxtaposes humor with moral lessons. Through a series of whimsical and absurd encounters, the protagonist'Äîa resourceful old woman'Äîembarks on a quest to reunite with her beloved pig, employing wit and courage in the face of magical interventions and societal challenges. The storytelling, rich in rhythm and repetition, reflects the oral traditions that have shaped children's literature, inviting readers of all ages to engage with its robust themes of perseverance and the eccentricities of human and animal relationships. Though the true identity of the author remains shrouded in mystery, the universality of the themes suggests a deep understanding of folk narratives and a penchant for humor that likely stemmed from the author's cultural background. This narrative, with its emphasis on character-driven action and engaging dialogue, contributes to the folklore movement of its time, which sought to preserve the oral storytelling traditions for new generations, hence reflecting societal values and human experiences. I highly recommend this enchanting tale to scholars, educators, and young readers alike. Its engaging prose and vivid characters provide not only entertainment but also provoke thought about resilience and the importance of companionship. The narrative's humor and charm make it a timeless addition to any literary canon. |
| old puckdoku: Uncle Wiggily and Old Mother Hubbard Howard R. Garis, 2014-04-08 And half the fun of nearly everything, you know, is thinking about it beforehand, or afterward. Howard Garis (1873–1962) was a budding reporter for the Newark Evening News when he first started writing stories for children about a delightful rabbit named Uncle Wiggily. Calling them bedtime stories (in all likelihood the first time the term was used), he created a popular syndicated series that eventually totaled hundreds of tales. This high quality volume includes 26 of the best stories from the series, relating the long-eared cottontail's adventures with Little Boy Blue, Little Bo-Peep, Jack and Jill, Jack Horner, Miss Muffet, and other loveable characters. Printed in large, easy-to-read type, these delightful stories will captivate today's young readers as much as they did youngsters in the early twentieth century.

Two small boys sat on the wooden settle shelling corn for pop ping, and picking out the biggest nuts from the goodly store their own hands had gathered in October. Four young girls stood at the long dresser, busily chopping meat, pounding Spice, and slicing apples; and the tongues of Tilly, Prue, Roxy, and Rhody went as fast as their hands. Farmer Bassett, and Eph, the Oldest boy, were chorin' 'round outside, for Thanksgiving was at hand, and all must be in order for that time - honored day.

| old puckdoku: The Old Peabody Pew Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin, 2018-06-29 The Old Peabody Pew by Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin CHAPTER I Edgewood, like all the other villages along the banks of the Saco, is full of sunny slopes and leafy hollows. There are little, rounded, green-clad hillocks that might, like their scriptural sisters, skip with joy, and there are grand, rocky hills tufted with gaunt pine trees-these leading the eye to the splendid heights of a neighbour State, where snow-crowned peaks tower in the blue distance, sweeping the horizon in a long line of majesty. Tory Hill holds its own among the others for peaceful beauty and fair prospect, and on its broad, level summit sits the white-painted Orthodox Meeting-House. This faces a grassy common where six roads meet, as if the early settlers had determined that no one should lack salvation because of a difficulty in reaching its visible source. The old church has had a dignified and fruitful past, dating from that day in 1761 when young Paul Coffin received his call to preach at a stipend of fifty pounds sterling a year; answering that never having heard of any Uneasiness among the people about his Doctrine or manner of life, he declared himself pleased to Settle as Soon as might be Judged Convenient.

| old puckdoku: The Tale of Old Mr. Crow Arthur Scott Bailey, 2018-07-03 The Tale of Old Mr. Crow by Arthur Scott Bailey A good many of the forest-people claimed that old Mr. Crow was an outlaw. They said he was always roving about, robbing Farmer Green of his corn and his chickens, and digging up the potatoes when they shot their sprouts above the surface of the potato-patch. And everybody was aware that the old gentleman stole eggs from the nests of his smaller neighbors. It was even whispered that Mr. Crow had been known to devour baby robins. But perhaps some of the things said of him were not true. Though if he really was an outlaw he seemed to enjoy being one. He usually laughed whenever Johnnie Green or his father tried to catch him, or when they attempted to frighten him. And on the whole he was quite the boldest, noisiest, and most impertinent of all the creatures that lived in Pleasant Valley. His house stood in a tall elm, not too far from the cornfield. And those that dwelt near him never could complain that the neighborhood was quiet.... It was never quiet where old Mr. Crow was.

| old puckdoku: Old Rabbit, the Voodoo, and Other Sorcerers Mary Alicia Owen, 2007-06-01 This remarkable collection takes us more deeply into the tradition of folklore than those which are made on the Grimm principle of 'pleasing tales for the nursery'. It is entertaining and amusing, but nothing has been sacrificed to the latter element, nor are the narrators of the tales made more important than the subject. Illustrated. |
| old puckdoku: Uncle Jo's Old Coat Eleanora H. Stooke, 2024-03-18 Excerpt: Oh, Jo, such news! I don't know whether I'm pleased or not; but I do hope it will be for the best! And so saying, the speaker, Mrs. Dennis, laid down the letter she had been reading and glanced at her husband, with a smile upon her lips and tears in her eyes. It was half-past eight on a fine September morning, and the Dennis family—comprised of Dr. Dennis, his wife, and three children, Edwin and Claude, aged eleven and nine respectively, and Poppy, a bright little maiden of eight—were seated at the breakfast-table. Four pairs of eyes turned curiously upon Mrs. Dennis as she spoke, and her husband hastened to inquire: What is it, my dear? What is it you hope will be for the best? That is a letter from your brother, is it not? Yes, in which he informs me that he is going to be married again; and he wants us to have Freddy to stay with us for a few months whilst he and his bride are away on their wedding trip. Here, Jo— and as she spoke Mrs. Dennis handed the letter to her husband— read what he says for yourself. |

| old puckdoku: The Tale of Old Mr. Crow (Classic Reprint) Arthur Scott Bailey, 2017-12-21 Excerpt from The Tale of Old Mr. Crow But perhaps some of the things said of him were not true. Though if he really was an outlaw he seemed to enjoy being one. He usually laughed whenever John nie Green or his father tried to catch him, or when they attempted to frighten him. And on the whole he was quite the boldest, noisiest, and most impertinent of all the creatures that lived in Pleasant Valley. His house stood in a tall elm, not too far from the cornfield. And those that dwelt near him never could complain that the neighborhood was quiet. It was never quiet where Old Mr. Crow was.
