PDF Community without Consent: New Perspectives on the Stamp Act (Re-Mapping the Transnational: A Dartmouth Series in American Studies) by From Dartmouth in History

Description

From 1991 through 2005; the Atlanta Braves did something no pro sports team can match; finishing in first place for fourteen consecutive seasons. During that stretch; the Braves parlayed powerful pitching with potent hitting that produced under pressure. Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox won with veteran teams; young teams; slugging teams; and several times with teams that emphasized speed and defense. His teams captured 100 wins in six different seasons. In When the Braves Ruled the Diamond; former AP sportswriter Dan Schlossberg covers the record-breaking era that transformed Atlanta from the Bad-News Braves to America's Team. With separate chapters on Cox; fabled pitching coach Leo Mazzone; and Hall of Fame pitchers Greg Maddux; Tom Glavine; and John Smoltz; this book also highlights the contributions of Andres Galarraga; Andruw Jones; Chipper Jones; Brian Jordan; Javy Lopez; Terry Pendleton; and many more Braves stars. It features year-by-year summaries; Opening Day lineups; and even oddball anecdotes that explain why the fourteen-year streak may never be duplicated. It is the perfect gift for fans of baseball history as well as fans of the Atlanta Braves!
