audiobook Year Zero of the Arab-Israeli Conflict 1929 (The Schusterman Series in Israel Studies) by Hillel Cohen in History

Description

Amos Otis; Frank White; George Brett; Hal McRae; Dan Quisenberry; Bret Saberhagen; Paul Splittorff—one mention of any of those names can bring about visions of great baseball; determination; and winning. However; one vision outweighs all others: the boys in blue . . . the Kansas City Royals. The Kansas City Royals; an expansion club in the American League in 1969; struggled during their early existence. It didn’t take long; however; before the Royals established themselves as one of the most successful franchises in baseball. That success culminated with the winning of the 1985 World Series. Since 1969; the Royals have developed great players that have had fun. Along the way; they also have developed a winning tradition. Although the Royals have received the “small-market” tag in recent years; the organization still boasts a proud heritage; and in 2014 they recorded their first playoff victory in almost thirty years en route to a seven-game World Series matchup against the San Francisco Giants. In this reissue of Tales from the Kansas City Royals Dugout; first published in 2004 and updated through the 2014 season; longtime Royals radio broadcaster Denny Matthews relives the club’s great moments and proud tradition. Sit back and enjoy never-before-told anecdotes; including from the team’s great rivalries with the New York Yankees; Oakland A’s; and the remarkable players who have helped form the legend of the Kansas City Royals.
