Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Sidney Ponson (born November 2, 1976 in Noord, Aruba) is a Major League pitcher who is currently playing for the Long Island Ducks of the independent league. According to the Atlantic League website Ponson was placed on the "Retired" list as of June 18, 2010. Ponson stands at 6'1" tall and weighs 260 pounds. He throws right-handed. When he made his Major League debut for the Orioles in 1998, he became the third player from Aruba to play in the major leagues. He also has a fastball that tops out at 95 mph. After the 2003 season, he was decorated with a Order of Orange-Nassau, in the grade Knight, along with fellow former Orioles Eugene Kingsale and Calvin Maduro. Ponson has played most of his career with the Baltimore Orioles. In 2003, he went 14-6 with a 3.77 ERA for the Orioles. Because Baltimore was not in contention for a playoff spot and Ponson was in the last year of his contract, the Orioles traded Ponson to the San Francisco Giants at the trading deadline for three players: Kurt Ainsworth, Damian Moss, and prospect Ryan Hannaman. At the end of the 2003 season, Ponson re-signed a 3 year, $22.5 million contract with the Orioles. In 2004, Ponson was the opening day starter for Baltimore. However, he started off disastrously; his record was 3-12 by the All-Star Break. He rebounded for a strong second half, going 8-3 to finish with an 11-15 record and a 5.30 ERA. On December 25, 2004, Ponson was arrested in Aruba and charged with assaulting an Aruban judge following an incident about a complaint of Ponson's handling of his powerboat. He spent 11 days in jail, but the charges were dropped after he ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1340080 ... Read more

Extrait : Rik Aalbert "Bert" Blyleven (né le 6 avril 1951 à Zeist, Pays-Bas), est un ancien joueur de baseball ayant évolué au poste de lanceur en Ligue majeure de baseball de 1970 à 1992. Depuis 1996, il est commentateur consultant lors des retransmissions télévisées des rencontres des Twins du Minnesota. Bert Blyleven est né aux Pays-Bas, mais a grandi dans le sud de la Californie. Dans sa jeunesse, il s'intéresse au baseball en regardant Sandy Koufax, le lanceur vedette des Dodgers de Los Angeles. En 1969, il est choisit au troisième tour de la draft par les Twins du Minnesota (55 choix global). Après une saison complète en ligue mineure, il débute sa carrière en Ligue majeure le 5 juin 1970 contre les Senators de Washington par une première victoire. Il termine la saison avec un bilan de 10 victoires pour 9 défaites et le trophée de recrue de l'année décerné par le magazine The Sporting News. Ses premières années avec les Twins ne sont pas couronnées de succès en raison d'une équipe du Minnesota peu performante. Il est transféré aux Rangers du Texas le 1 juin 1976. Il lance un no-hitter le 22 septembre 1977 face aux Angels de la Californie. Le 8 décembre 1977, Blyleven et John Milner sont transférés aux Pirates de Pittsburgh dans le cadre du premier transfert en Ligue majeure impliquant quatre équipes. En 1978, il mène les Pirates pour les retraits sur prises (182), la moyenne de points mérités (3,03) et le nombre de matchs complets (11). En 1979, il remporte la série mondiale avec les Pirates. Après une saison 1980 décevante (8 victoires pour 13 défaites), il demande son transfert vers une aut...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
