Opening Day: 50-for-50 is a baseball tribute like no other—a well-researched work of love representing a half-century of great stories and historical context linked to each of those 50 days. This emotional journey connects three cities, six stadiums, five home teams, and four generations while overcoming life events, baseball’s labor unrest, and the 33-year absence of a hometown team. Along the way, Ortman encountered five U.S. Presidents and more than 50 future Hall of Fame players, coaches, and broadcasters: from Reagan to Obama, Weaver to Torre, and hundreds more.

Tennisman accompli, James Hyndman conjugue sa passion de la balle jaune à celle du mot juste dans une série de courts récits jouissifs, qui ont l'élégance discrète et la trajectoire imprévisible d’une balle brossée. Écrits entre 2015 et 2021, ces textes encapsulent histoire du tennis et anecdotes personnelles, de même qu’une sensibilité aiguë pour les élans et les revers des relations humaines.

Grigna e Monte Bianco, Grand Capucin e Lavaredo, e poi K2, Dru, Cerro Torre, G4, Grandes Jorasses, Cervino: bastano pochi nomi per capire che il protagonista di queste pagine è Walter Bonatti, il grande alpinista che qui racconta le proprie imprese più entusiasmanti ma anche quelle più tragiche, come l'odissea tra le nevi del Pilone Centrale, o amare, come quella legata alla spedizione del 1954. Scalate ed emozioni estreme, dunque, e non solo.

Al Barcellona e nella Nazionale di calcio spagnola, Andrés Iniesta, centrocampista d'eccellenza, ha sempre ballato una danza tutta sua, fatta di intuizioni, scatti rapidi, improvvise frenate. Ha tenuto il pallone tra i piedi mai un secondo più del necessario, ha visto lo spazio dove passarlo quando nessun altro neppure lo immaginava. Ha sublimato le idee dei suoi allenatori, a cominciare da Pep Guardiola, e ha reso ancora più grandi i suoi compagni, Xavi e Messi in testa.

Old Trafford, Manchester, 28 maggio 2003. Lo sguardo rivolto più volte verso l'arbitro, rincorsa lunga e gol. Il rigore decisivo contro la Juventus, in una finale di Champions League tutta italiana. Questo è il ricordo indelebile che Andriy Shevchenko, Pallone d'oro nel 2004, ha lasciato nei tifosi del Milan. Già da bambino sentiva che il suo destino sarebbe sta- to quello del calciatore, fin da quel marzo 1986, quando fu selezionato per entrare nei piccoli della Dynamo: il tempo di qualche allenamento poi saltò in aria il reattore numero 4 nella centrale nucleare di Chernobyl.

Major League Baseball has found the new face of the sport. In Sho-time, Jeff Fletcher examines the player’s path from his early days in Japan, his transition to the MLB, and a start-to-finish inside look at his historic 2021 MVP season.

It’s been 85 years since Brian McFarlane first laced a pair of skates and tested the black ice on a tiny pond. And then he discovered the joy of hockey. Ultimately, there would be grade school hockey, high school hockey, junior hockey, college hockey, and, miraculously, two decades with the NHL Oldtimers anchoring his life. Now, in this revealing autobiography, he remembers it all. For Brian McFarlane, it has been a helluva life in hockey.

The first Olympic women's marathon and the battle for the right to run.

Sidney Crosby est prêt à raconter son histoire. L'un des plus grands joueurs de la LNH de tous les temps nous ramène en 2005-2006 pour revivre sa saison recrue avec les Penguins de Pittsburgh. Le jeune prodige canadien qu’on surnommait « le prochain Gretzky » devient alors un joueur professionnel de 18 ans qui doit composer avec une équipe en difficulté.

Sidney Crosby is ready to tell his story in his own words. As one of the greatest NHL players of all time, he reflects on his 2005-06 rookie season with the Pittsburgh Penguins. From a Canadian phenom dubbed “the next Gretzky” to an 18-year-old carrying the burden of a struggling franchise, he talks candidly about the intense pressure he was under, the surreal experience of lacing up alongside his childhood idol Mario Lemieux and the truth about his rivalry with Alex Ovechkin.

Per il suo approccio al gioco e al lavoro di squadra, per il suo rigore e le sue idee innovative in materia di dieta e di benessere, Arsène Wenger, soprannominato "Il Professore", ha lasciato il segno nel mondo del calcio, trasformando il mestiere di allenatore in pura arte. In questo libro decide di raccontarsi per la prima volta in assoluto. Come ha fatto il bambino di Duttlenheim, un piccolo paesino in Alsazia, che non sembrava affatto destinato al successo, a entrare nella leggenda?

Un bambino selvatico e sgraziato, che preferisce la solitudine e l'amicizia degli animali a quella dei coetanei. Un rapporto privilegiato con il nonno, suo maestro e complice, e un profondo legame con il bosco, unico luogo di libertà e armonia. Una "vita spericolata" fin dall'infanzia e dall'adolescenza, sempre alla spasmodica ricerca di un confine da superare, di una regola da infrangere. Questo è Vanni, e questo il suo grande sogno: saltare l'ostacolo, colmare il vuoto insopportabile che è dentro ognuno di noi.

The last thing I thought I'd be doing my last semester was following my ex-boyfriend around, but here I am. I was assigned to write an article about college athletes and he's the biggest one in our town. With this assignment comes a new living arrangement that sets me up in an apartment right next to his.

Roberto «Bob» Bissonnette, le marchand de bonheur. Décédé à l’âge de 35 ans dans un accident d’hélicoptère, le hockeyeur devenu vedette du rock a certes connu une vie trop courte, mais n’en a assurément gaspillé aucune seconde. La pédale au plancher, donnant son 110 % sur la glace, sur scène ou même autour d’un feu de camp, il aura été l’incarnation même de la maxime carpe diem, «saisir le jour».

Picture a man, he’s tall, not excessively so, yet as wide as he is high. This man is a spitting and growling street brawler; a tank full of ready-to-blow, muscle-fuelled aggression. Imagine, if you will, the comic-book style Bulldog of Great British stamp. Well, there you have him! The prototypical face taken from the terraces of an ’80s football fan’s rolled-up newspaper cosh; a poster-boy of malevolence left over from Thatcher’s post-punk Britain.

“Holy Dirty Dora!” Hector “Toe” Blake would bark while pacing behind the Montreal Canadiens bench, hands thrust into his pockets, jawing at chewing gum before intentionally banging his forehead into the glass that separates players and fans. No lead was safe or sufficient for the lifelong hockey man at the helm of the greatest dynasty in NHL history.
