Since moving from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958, the Dodgers have had an eventful—and frequently successful—history. From playing in the 100,000-seat Coliseum to five World Series titles, from Fernandomania to Mannywood, and from Sandy Koufax to Clayton Kershaw, the Boys in Blue have long been a team to watch. This history of the Dodgers provides a closer look at the great moments and the lowlights that have made them one of the seminal teams in the major leagues. Through multiple interviews conducted with current and former players, readers will meet the athletes, coaches, and management and share in their moments of triumph and defeat. The author recalls key moments in Dodgers history such as the building and breakup of the Garvey-Lopes-Russell-Cey infield, the sad decline of Steve Howe, the amazing comeback at the tail-end of the 1980 season, and the Frank McCourt saga. If These Walls Could Talk: Los Angeles Dodgers brings the storied history of the team come to life.

Over the last half-century, the Philadelphia Phillies have experienced epic highs—World Series titles in 1980 and 2008—and frustrating lows, and Larry Shenk has been there for every minute of it. He provides a behind-the-scenes look at the personalities and events that have shaped the franchise’s history. The book gives the detailed scouting reports on Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley and takes readers into the clubhouse as Steve Carlton closes in on 300 career wins. Listen in on Pete Rose’s phone call with President Reagan after Rose broke the National League hits record and see Richie Ashburn’s face when he heard he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Giving fans a taste of what it’s like to be a part of the Phillies’ storied history from a perspective unlike any other, readers will also learn about a man whose work ethic and character has made an impact on the players and staff for 50 years.

Providing a behind-the-scenes look at the personalities and events that have shaped the Detroit Tigers’ recent resurgence, readers will meet the players, coaches, and management and share in their moments of greatness, grief, and quirkiness.

By Jim Kaat with Greg Jennings, Foreword by David Cone
Contact: Bill Ames, Triumph Books, 312.676.4256 , b.ames@triumphbooks.com
Baseball's most iconic franchise is as much a part of New York history as the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. Since 1903 the New York Yankees have won 27 World Series championships and sent more than 40 players to Cooperstown. They are one of the few teams in all of sports that have no middle ground—no half measures. When it comes to the Yankees and Yankee fans, it’s all or nothing—love or hate.
If These Walls Could Talk: New York Yankees (Triumph Books, April 2015) by veteran major league pitcher and color commentator Jim Kaat showcases exclusive stories from the Yankee’s inner sanctum. From meticulous contract negotiations with George Steinbrenner to impromptu batting practice with the NYPD, readers will delight in the little-known gems of Yankee history as well as the exceptional and extraordinary. Through personal experiences with current and former players, coaches and management Kaat explores franchise history in a way that only he can, including:
Ideal for fans seeking stories beyond the headlines, If These Walls Could Talk: New York Yankees delivers readers a thorough look at franchise history from the perspective of an insider.
