Acerca de esta escucha
Slider is no more a baseball book than Ted Lasso is a soccer story or We Are Marshall is about football. Slider employs high school baseball as the background for a much larger story, one of compassion and caring against all odds. Here's how the author describes the book:
"It would have been far worse but for Barbara Anne Solarz, the only teacher at Atlantic High in Jacksonville, who decided she would fight if the unthinkable ever happened. It did.
Not everyone in Jacksonville considers Solarz a hero. Among them is Brian Duckshedd, Duval County District Attorney. He puts her on trial for her actions that day. She could have killed Caleb.
While her case awaits trial, Solarz is pressured into becoming the Panthers' interim baseball coach. Her gold medal resume notwithstanding, this is not on Solarz’s agenda. Still, it seems she knows how to breathe life back into a ball club of 18 at-risk, ethnically diverse teens.
What happens when someone who never, ever gives up enters a world where surrender is the only way to survive?"

Carrie Soto is fierce, and her determination to win at any cost has not made her popular. But by the time she retires from tennis, she is the best player the world has ever seen. She has shattered every record and claimed twenty Grand Slam titles. And if you ask Carrie, she is entitled to every one. She sacrificed nearly everything to become the best, with her father, Javier, as her coach. A former champion himself, Javier has trained her since the age of two.

In this heartwarming and candid memoir, Tim Howard does something he would never do on a soccer field: he drops his guard. As fiercely protective about his privacy as he is guarding the goal for the US national team and for Everton in the English Premier League, Howard opens up for the first time about how a hyperactive kid from New Jersey with Tourette's syndrome defied the odds to become one of the world’s premier goalkeepers.

Twelve years ago Matthew "the Rocket" Rising had it all. Married to his high school sweetheart and one of the winningest quarterbacks in the history of college football, he was the number one NFL draft pick. But on the night of the draft, he plummeted from the pinnacle of esteem. Falsely accused of a heinous crime with irrefutable evidence, it seemed in an instant all was lost—his reputation, his career, his freedom, and most devastatingly, the love of his life.

Twelve-year-old Michael Arroyo lives in the shadows of Yankee Stadium, home of his heroes, but a place that might as well be on a different continent since he can't afford to see the inside. He also lives in the shadows of his Bronx neighborhood, hiding from the bill collectors and the officials who would separate him from his 17-year-old brother if they knew the two boys were living on their own. Baseball is Michael's only salvation.

From the mid-1980s into the early 1990s, the greatest athlete of all time streaked across American sports and popular culture. Stadiums struggled to contain him. Clocks failed to capture his speed. His strength was legendary. His power unmatched. Video game makers turned him into an invincible character—and they were dead-on. He climbed (and walked across) walls, splintered baseball bats over his knee, turned oncoming tacklers into ground meat.
