Churchill Downs Preakness Saratoga Hialeah Belmont Park and Aqueduct etc." From the publisher: "An evocative portrait of a man who lived a lifetime at the track. At seventy-seven James 'Sunny Jim' Fitzsimmons should have been considering retirement. His six-decade career stretched back to 1885 when as an eleven year-old he began working as a stable boy. After failing as a jockey Fitzsimmons -- or Mr. Fitz to those in the know -- started training horses eventually winning three Kentucky Derbys two Triple Crowns and more than two thousand races. But by 1951 glory seemed to be behind him. His wife's sudden death took the light from his eyes and retirement loomed. And then he met Nashua. She was the kind of horse trainers dream of. Big powerful with a windpipe that could suck down enough air to keep her running for weeks. Mr. Fitz knew he had a winner. It was only a matter of time before he realized that he had also just met the most remarkable horse of his long storied career.". First Edition so stated. Hardcover.

One hundred of baseball's greatest players living and deceased play at historic Ebetts Field where the future of Mankind hangs in the balance. --------- What if God and the Devil were to draft their own fantasy baseball game And what if they really played that game with players living and dead in the ghost of Ebbets Field -- with the fate of the universe hanging in the balance On one of my visits to Central Christian Church in Henderson Nevada God spoke to me and told me I was chosen to write the story called OLD TIMERS DAY. During my visits to the church I proceeded to write everything God continued to tell me. Soon I found myself writing endless notes that prompted me to go to my best friend the award-winning writer producer and director Jerry Schafer and together following the notes I had taken and adding my expertise on the subject of baseball we co-authored the book. It is my sincere hope that people all over the world will read this book and understand the message it puts forth. All power is the Lord's. -- Richard LoPresto." .

Light shelfwear. NOT a library discard. Pages are clean and unmarked with NO highlighting. NO underlining. NO margin notes. Well illustrated with b/w photographs. Bound in the original full color pictorial wraps. From the publisher: "To most historians the martial arts itself is said to be thousands upon thousands of years old. Although an exact date of conception can not be accurately validated the lineage of the arts is beyond measure. As a Museum focusing our efforts on martial arts history it is important that we make every attempt to be as accurate as possible. This is why we continue to request resource information and materials of validation so that we can conduct a thorough search for verification of the facts. Because so many of the martial arts historical information has been passed down from one generation to the next by word-of-mouth its important that we begin some form of consistent documentation. It is my hope the Museum will one day serve as a primary resource for martial arts information. This book is the story of how it all began with the historic opening of The Martial Arts History Museum." GoodReads rating: 4.5 stars.
