Download Bluegrass Baseball: A Year in the Minor League Life AudioBook Free
Your investment steroid-addled, overpaid, and unmotivated players: America's pastime is still alive and well and is still the heartfelt sport it's always been...in the minimal leagues. And nowhere is this truer than in Kentucky, whose rich baseball history continues to play out in the four clubs profiled in this audiobook. Following these clubs through the 2010 season - the triumphs, struggles, and big-league expectations and dreams - the book tells the larger story of football in America's smaller locations, where in fact the game in its purest form is still respected and warmly embraced. The storyline begins prior to the season, with national anthem singing tryouts in Lexington, then tags along with players, staff, and enthusiasts at home, at work, and on the field, supplying a rare view of the unglamorous truth of minor-league ball. From your front-office staff in Bowling Green planning kooky offers to a trainer grocery shopping for a team on 40 us dollars per day to a new wife arriving to conditions with her husband's transitory lifestyle to a father battling to make it back to the majors and a Cuban defector blowing everyone away with a 100-plus mile per hour fastball, these are people who live to make football happen in every its nitty-gritty glory.
