Lessons from a Life in Baseball by the Yankees Hitting Coach





Ted Williams once said that hitting a baseball well is the most difficult skill in sports. Few people understand what it takes to master that ability better than New York Yankees batting coach Kevin Long. In Cage Rat, he shares the knowledge he's gained over more than 20 years in baseball, teaching any player--whether a Little League rookie, softball veteran, or college all-star--how to improve his or her game. From hitting drills to the right grip, plate coverage to stance and bat angle, Long explains the techniques, practices, and habits of great hitting, and takes readers inside the Yankees' batting cage to show how pros like Derek Jeter, Nick Swisher, and A-Rod refine their skills every day.



More than just a practical guide to hitting, Cage Rat is also an engaging portrait of a man whose positive outlook, perseverance, and hard work have helped him make his dreams come true. Long speaks candidly about his love for baseball, his days in the minor leagues, the injury that transformed him from player to coach, and the fateful call that brought him to the Yankees. Filled with practical advice, behind-the-scenes action, inspirational stories, and instructional photographs featuring current Yankee stars, Cage Rat is a must-read for aspiring players and armchair fans alike.

Why We Traded the Commuting Life for a Little House on the Prairie

The hilarious, charming, and candid story of writer Christopher Ingraham’s decision to uproot his life and move his family to Red Lake Falls, Minnesota, population 1,400—the community he made famous as “the worst place to live in America” in a story he wrote for the Washington Post. In August 2015, Washington Post data reporter Christopher Ingraham was looking for story ideas when he stumbled upon a gold mine: a U.S. Department of Agriculture study—the Natural Amenities Index—a list of America’s more than 3,000 counties classified from ugliest to most scenic. In covering the rankings, he wrote a sentence that would change his life: “The absolute worst place to live in America is (drumroll please) . . . Red Lake County, Minn.” The story immediately went viral. Ingraham’s piece received hundreds of responses from angry but polite Red Lake Falls residents, including a local businessman who invited Ingraham to visit. Curious, Ingraham accepted the offer—and was pleasantly surprised and charmed by the warmth, humor, and hospitality these ordinary Midwest folks extended to a big city East Coast journalist who had insulted their home to millions of readers. The trip changed Ingraham and inspired a crazy idea. Living in one of the most expensive areas in the United States, he and his family were stretched financially—and running out of options. Crunching the numbers, Ingraham realized Red Lake County offered an opportunity they could not pass up. After careful planning, Chris, his wife Briana, and his young twin sons picked up their lives and moved from the nation’s busy, cosmopolitan capital to a tiny hamlet in rural Minnesota. It was the beginning of a chapter of incredible lifestyle changes and important life lessons. In Red Lake Falls, Ingraham meets people for whom politics are a passing conversation, not an obsession, experiences the intensity and power of small-town gossip, embarks on a futile quest to find a decent cup of coffee, and suffers through brutal winters with temperatures of thirty degrees below zero. But more than that, he discovers that statistics and numbers do not tell a complete story, whether in politics—witness the 2016 election results—or in life.

Mitch Albom

What would happen if we called on God for help and God actually appeared? In Mitch Albom's profound new novel of hope and faith, a group of shipwrecked passengers pull a strange man from the sea. He claims to be "the Lord." And he says he can only save them if they all believe in him. Adrift in a raft after a deadly ship explosion, nine people struggle for survival at sea. Three days pass. Short on water, food and hope, they spot a man floating in the waves. They pull him in. "Thank the Lord we found you," a passenger says. "I am the Lord," the man whispers. So begins Mitch Albom's most beguiling and inspiring novel yet. Albom has written of heaven in the celebrated number one bestsellers The Five People You Meet in Heaven and The First Phone Call from Heaven. Now, for the first time in his fiction, he ponders what we would do if, after crying out for divine help, God actually appeared before us? What might the Lord look, sound and act like? In The Stranger in the Lifeboat, Albom keeps us guessing until the end: Is this strange and quiet man really who he claims to be? What actually happened to cause the explosion? Are the survivors already in heaven, or are they in hell? The story is narrated by Benji, one of the passengers, who recounts the events in a notebook that is later discovered--a year later--when the empty life raft washes up on the island of Montserrat. It falls to the island's chief inspector, Jarty LeFleur, a man battling his own demons, to solve the mystery of what really happened. A fast-paced, compelling novel that makes you ponder your deepest beliefs, The Stranger in the Lifeboat suggests that answers to our prayers may be found where we least expect them.

A new love, a secret sister, and a summer she'll never forget. From the beloved author of Tweet Cute comes Emma Lord's You Have a Match, a hilarious and heartfelt novel of romance, sisterhood, and friendship... When Abby signs up for a DNA service, it’s mainly to give her friend and secret love interest, Leo, a nudge. After all, she knows who she is already: Avid photographer. Injury-prone tree climber. Best friend to Leo and Connie...although ever since the B.E.I. (Big Embarrassing Incident) with Leo, things have been awkward on that front. But she didn’t know she’s a younger sister. When the DNA service reveals Abby has a secret sister, shimmery-haired Instagram star Savannah Tully, it’s hard to believe they’re from the same planet, never mind the same parents — especially considering Savannah, queen of green smoothies, is only a year and a half older than Abby herself. The logical course of action? Meet up at summer camp (obviously) and figure out why Abby’s parents gave Savvy up for adoption. But there are complications: Savvy is a rigid rule-follower and total narc. Leo is the camp’s co-chef, putting Abby's growing feelings for him on blast. And her parents have a secret that threatens to unravel everything. But part of life is showing up, leaning in, and learning to fit all your awkward pieces together. Because sometimes, the hardest things can also be the best ones.
