Seventeen-year-old Ruby Thomas, newly responsible for her two young nieces after a devastating tragedy, is determined to keep her family safe in the vast, swirling world of 1920s New York City. She’s got street smarts, boundless determination, and one unusual skill: the ability to throw a ball as hard as the greatest pitchers in a baseball-mad city.

From Coney Island sideshows to the brand-new Yankee Stadium, Diamond Ruby chronicles the extraordinary life and times of a girl who rises from utter poverty to the kind of renown only the Roaring Twenties can bestow. But her fame comes with a price, and Ruby must escape a deadly web of conspiracy and threats from Prohibition rumrunners, the Ku Klux Klan, and the gangster underworld.

Diamond Ruby “is the exciting tale of a forgotten piece of baseball’s heritage, a girl who could throw with the best of them. A real page-turner, based closely on a true story” (Kevin Baker, author of Strivers Row).

20 years ago, venomous parasitic wasps known as thieves staged a massive, apocalyptic attack on humans, pushing them to the brink of extinction. The 281 who survived live in Refugia, a colony including scientists, a pilot and a tough young woman named Kait. The survivors who leave the colony journey through wastelands to find that they are not the only humans left on earth - not by a long shot. But they may be the only ones left who are not under the thieves' control.

- LIKE NEW: I will never rate a library book like new. These are books that look like they've never been read or owned. 
- EXCELLENT: The best condition for library books, and a great condition for books otherwise. Library books will have library markings (always pictured), but will have no further noted wear and tear. For non-library books, these are the books that have been read, but are not show no remarkable signs of wear, tear or defect.
- GOOD: Show signs of use and mild to moderate wear. All pages are in tact and the book is completely readable. Library books have library markings, and some non-library books may have a dedication or stamp or sticker, some creases. Signs of formerly being loved.
- FAIR: A book that shows visible signs of wear and tear. These books might have creases, folds, markings, or missing dust jackets (all pictured).  A 'fair' book will ALWAYS have its pages in tact, and the full book will be readable.

365 Days - an Official Publication from the Archives of Major League Baseball

Mike Schmidt slamming a home run. Ozzie Smith making a spectacular play at shortstop. Nolan Ryan, Roger Clemens, and Greg Maddux unleashing unhittable pitches. Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron, Carl Yastrzemski, Tony Gwynn, Derek Jeter, and dozens of other baseball stars. And a slew of managers, umpires, mascots, vendors, and young fans as well.

They’re all here in Baseball: 365 Days, a colorful, surprising, and even moving panorama of baseball from 1970 until the present day. Drawn from the archives of Major League Baseball, Baseball’s photographs--many never before published--trace the arc of star ballplayers’ careers: from minor-league triumphs to life in the Big Show to retirement and Hall of Fame election. In lively commentaries, veteran baseball writer Joseph Wallace offers anecdotes and stats that help bring these wonderful photos to life.

Even the most casual baseball fan will find much here to treasure. America’s pastime has never seemed more alive.
