Our pitch was aired on 22 January 2014 (almost a year after presenting our investment idea to the Dragons).What motivated us to return for an audition in February 2014? As second chance pitchers, did we stand a better chance to get a deal?How did we compare our two pitch experiences? With two new Dragons joining Season IX, how did we apply our former Den experience to our second chance?Having gone through two once-in-a-lifetime experiences, how would we pitch our idea differently and what tips can we share with the entrepreneurs who are anxious to give it a try?It's my intention to cover our experiences in detail though I must emphasize that they may not cover everything our readers would like to know. I prepared a sign-up page for those who would like to better understand our journey.This book will serve as a guide to those who are going for an audition. It will help to give them a heads up about what to expect, especially when they receive an invitation to pitch in front of the Dragons. This book will be a useful guide to help them to stay calm throughout the whole experience and feel as though they have accomplished something, regardless of the outcome.
Автор: Craft Jerry, Sullivan Kathleen Название: Pitching for the Stars: My Seasons Across the Color Line ISBN: 0896727874 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780896727878 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 21250.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In early summer 1959, Texas Tech senior Jerry Craft was planning to stay home on the family ranch when Carl Sedberry, a semipro baseball manager, phoned, asking him to try out for his club. Craft had never heard of the Wichita Falls/Graham Stars, but they needed a pitcher, and Craft was surprised and persuaded by their offer to pay $75 per game. Craft was in for an even bigger surprise when he reported to Spudder Park and realized that Mr. Sedberry was recruiting him for the West Texas Colored League. No one--least of all Craft--could know for sure what would happen when the League's first white pitcher took the mound that summer day. But as Mr. Sedberry's wisdom prevailed, the Stars and their white teammate pulled together to play a game they loved. Craft would pitch two seasons for the Stars. As they made history Craft and his teammates would learn much from Mr. Sedberry and each other about sports and life, and share experiences that would change them forever. Looking back on those years before the Civil Rights movement, when baseball was still very much a segregated game in a segregated society, Craft relates an unlikely story of respect, character, humor, and ultimately friendship.

The 1954 Cleveland Indians were one of the most remarkable baseball teams of all time. Their record for most wins (111) fell only when the baseball schedule expanded, and their winning percentage, an astounding .721, is still unsurpassed in the American League. Though the season ended with a heartbreaking loss to the New York Giants in the World Series, the 1954 team remains a favorite among Cleveland fans and beyond.
Pitching to the Pennant commemorates the ’54 Indians with a biographical sketch of the entire team, from the “Big Three” pitching staff (Mike Garcia and future Hall of Famers Bob Lemon and Early Wynn), through notable players such as Bobby Avila, Bob Feller, Larry Doby, and Al Rosen, to manager Al Lopez, his coaches, and the Indians’ broadcast team. There are also stories about Cleveland Stadium and the 1954 All-Star Game (which the team hosted), as well as a season timeline and a firsthand account of Game One of the World Series at the Polo Grounds. Pitching to the Pennant features the superb writing and research of members of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), making this book a must for all Indians fans and baseball aficionados.
