A Great Book For Young People -- And Not Bad For The Not So Young.......2007-07-19
Orel Hersheiser's book is excellent on giving advice for life.
Unlike most athletes, Orel does not give a biography. Instead he picks nine principles he sees for a successful life, and then gives anecdotes, almost exclusively from his own life, to support those points.
Orel does not come across as "Look at me! I have a Cy Young award, two league championship MVPs, and a World Series ring and MVP award, to go along with having the record for most consecutive scoreless innings." Instead, you have a normal person who managed to accomplish a lot, and a desire to encourage others to accomplish a lot in their lives.
This book is very readable. In the introduction Orel paints the picture of the book being like a conversation in a diner. It is fun reading stories about Tommy LaSorda, especially when he is in the ear of his former pitcher before the 5th game of the '95 series.
I would recommend for every parent to get this book for their son or daughter, and then read it with them so they can discuss the issues. One, this will help your child apply the lessons, and two, we oldies can use the advice as well.
Perfect for any athlete; non-players will like it too.......2007-03-01
I had always been amazed by Orel Hershiser's record
of pitching 59 consecutive scoreless innings in
1988 . . . even typing that number now, I find it
hard to believe that a pitcher could manage to
keep opposing batters from scoring for so long.
Thus when I had the chance to listen to
his book, BETWEEN THE LINES (written
with Robert Wogemuth), I was interested to see
if he would talk about how he was able to accomplish
this goal . . . he did, sprinkling in interesting tidbits
about his personal philosophy toward both the game and life.
This is not a tell-all book . . . Hershiser rarely
speaks bad about any player, coach, manager,
or even umpire . . . in fact, he even points out
that he rarely ever argued about any ball or strike call.
What he does well is emphasize the claim he
makes in the book's subtitle: NINE THINGS BASEBALL
TAUGHT ME ABOUT LIFE.
There's nothing breathtakingly new here, but it still
is the perfect book for any athlete at virtually any
stage of his or her career . . . non-players will
like it too.
And anybody who reads it will come across convinced
that it is the little things in life that can really make
a difference . . . for example, Hershiser rarely varied from
his everyday routine--no matter what was happening around him.
He also seems to be one of the rare professional
athletes who always placed his family over even
his baseball career.
Positive, Insightful, Spiritual & Practical.......2005-04-26
Orel Hershiser might seem to be one of those people who "had it all given to him" but after reading the struggles he had to overcome you'll discover that perception is wrong. He had to work hard and overcome numerous obstacles before reaching the top of his profession. The principles that led to success in his arena apply in all areas of live as he points out so clearly in this excellent book (with Robert Wolgemuth).
One theme is to focus on what you can control and don't expend energy on the rest. He emphasizes how important the preparation process is because it's all about focus. That is what one can control. If one continually prepares, success is inevitable. He talks about building a mind-set where everyday counted. Excellence mattered to him. He wasn't trying to please his coaches, he was seeking excellence for its own reward.
As a Christian he talks about how he came to know the Lord Jesus. I bought the book because I knew he was a Bowling Green man. It turns out he's a class act all the way around. His advice is solid.
Orel Hershiser gets personal.......2004-02-17
Orel Hershiser was one of the most dominant pitchers during the 1980's and 1990's. He won over 200 games, he posted season ERAs of 2.66. 2.03, 2.26, and 2.31, he has 13 double-digit victory seasons and he helped the Los Angeles Dodgers win the World Series in 1988. During that magical season he won the CY Young Award, the NLCS MVP and the World Series MVP. So it is safe to say that he is qualified to write a book on how to be successful in life.
In his second book Between the Lines: The Nine Things Baseball Taught Me About Life, co-authored by Robert Wolgemuth, Hershiser writes about how his experiences in baseball taught him about perseverance in life. Although Hershiser stared in the Majors, his rise was not an easy one. He had to overcome many obstacles early on in his career. He was stuck in the minor leagues for four years and he had to come back from serious shoulder surgery in the prime of his career. Hershiser also talks about personal miseries with him dropping out of college after getting cut from the baseball team and then later in life dealing with the death of his good friend and agent Robert Fraley. The book was an easy read and Hershiser offers some very good advice about life or at least on how he became successful. The book is not organized chronologically but instead Hershiser and Wolgemuth headline each chapter with his principles of life. Readers looking for play by play analysis of his career will be disappointed with Between the Lines because Hershiser takes a more personal account of his life in and out of baseball. But overall the book taught me things about life and inspired me to strife for my goals not only in sports but in life.
Baseball Lessons & Life Lessons are the Same!.......2001-11-21
Here's a book that in simple terms tells the reader about how overcoming the challenges in baseball are similar to those that average people encounter in life. I think that this would be a good book for young people who may be in team sports. It can help them see the greater benefit of playing sports rather than being caught up in winning and losing. Being from Los Angeles, I have a little more awe for Orel Hershier, who for a period of time was the best pitcher in the game of baseball. I hope that other mature athletes in football and basketball do books like this so that our youth can gain the full benefit of being in sports. I hope that parents buy this book for a Christmas present for the young athlete in the family.

Book Description
From henna tattoo kits available at your local mall to "faux Asian" fashions, housewares and fusion cuisine; from the new visibility of Asian film, music, video games and anime to the current popularity of martial arts motifs in hip hop, Asian influences have thoroughly saturated the U.S. cultural landscape and have now become an integral part of the vernacular of popular culture.
By tracing cross-cultural influences and global cultural trends, the essays in East Main Street bring Asian American studies, in all its interdisciplinary richness, to bear on a broad spectrum of cultural artifacts. Contributors consider topics ranging from early Asian American movie stars to the influences of South Asian iconography on rave culture, and from the marketing of Asian culture through food to the contemporary clamor for transnational Chinese women's historical fiction. East Main Street hits the shelves in the midst of a boom in Asian American population and cultural production. This book is essential not only for understanding Asian American popular culture but also contemporary U.S. popular culture writ large.

Seeing Evil Everywhere.......2007-06-16
Who cares what Christians think about D&D. There's nothing sinister about it at all. It teaches people to use their brains and encourages creativity. There is nothing morbid or dark about the game, notwithstanding the handful of wackos who take it too far and forget that it is, after all, just a game. If someone is interested in really twisted, sick stuff, then he or she should go read the Bible, a book full of so much violence and morbid imagery, that most modern "shoot 'em up" movies pale in comparison.
Statistically speaking, your child is much more likely to get into problems reading the Bible than playing D&D. I reference the Koresh cults, the Inquisition and all of the other murder and mayhem that has been committed in the name of Christianity. Maybe Robie should conduct a study on that instead of wasting time weaving conspiracy theories about a harmless childrens' game.
Irresponsible Theology.......2005-09-10
It's this type of ignorant pulpit exaggeration that encourages some seriously messed up child abuse. OK, as a child and teenager I attended fully 16 hours of church functions a week (my mother was devoutly religious and that was her choice) until the age of 15, at which time, I put my foot down and asserted my religous preference: Atheism.
I have heard probably 20 or so sermons on the evil of DND since the age of 7 years of age. I have watched this author on tele-evangelical stations, and endured countless of her other assetions like the evils of masturbation: just the thing to tell a pubesent boy: "you are going to be a rapist if you masturbate too much" woof... I don't know if i ever hit the magic number, quite possibly that time i was out of school for 2 weeks with the flu, but I'm still not a sex offender at the age of 29.
You know what I NEVER EVER heard in my entire childhood that consisted of thousands of hours of religous training? A single sermon on the evils of child abuse, domestic violence, and the only time I ever heard about child molestation was when they were saying that things like masturbation, comic books and DND encouraged it... yeah... that's just F**king great.
"Spare the rod, spoil the child," ... that's what I heard. Well, let me inform you, true believers, how that's interpretted in the ultra religious sect of christianity known as the christian coalition: BEAT THE EVER LIVING CRAP OUT OF YOUR KIDS IF THEY PLAY DND, READ COMIC BOOKS, OR, GOD FORBID, MASTURBATE! I, was rather lucky in that I had a single mom and she didn't hit very hard. Some kids I knew when I was growing up, weren't so lucky. I once listened to a kid get beat for nearly two solid hours when his grandma caught us reading a Ghost Rider comic in 1985. I sat in the living room, while listening to that kid scream bloody murder in the two hours it took for my mom to come pick me up.
I thought they were going to beat the crap out of me too, because during the cigarette breaks in between the beatings of their kid they very clearly expressed their anger at me for bringing the source of all evil into their house as I had told them that it was my comic book so they wouldn't be mad at their son. Imagine what they would have done to him if they had known the truth about the stockpile of nearly 40 comics hidden in his closet.
So get back up on your soap box Mrs. Robie, you forgot to forgive the faithful for beating the snot out of their kids for the mortal sin of being children, playing fantasty games, and reading stories written primarily for relaxation and relief of the anxiety, and confusion that nearly every kid in the world has to deal with.
Not as funny as I had hoped.......2005-04-01
When I first looked at this book and realized it was against D&D I thought it was going to be funny like almost all the other material I've read. I was truly disapointed. Of course I find it interesting that for a book that came out in 1992 the newest source for a bibliography is 1989...couldn't she come up with some newer material??? She also quotes a previous book that she wrote which misdefines witchcraft. Of course I am glad she did use some of the D&D books to source...shows that she did do a little research...about 20 minutes of it I'd say.
I also find it interesting that many of her quotes and facts don't have cited sources!!! So where did they come from??? Her own mind of course. And let's not forget that while in the chapter Is Dungeons & Dragons A Religion? She supposedly quotes the DMG on magic and spells as stating "According to experts in witchcraft and Satanic worship the three forms mentioned are: Pictures of a magic circle, pentagram, and thaumaturgic triangle." The third of these of course being an old CELTIC SYMBOL!!!!! It's actually a Celtic knot.
Now my biggest problem is that she says a psychiatrist cites two of his cases involving D&D...which if it was true and he did he would instantly have two malpractice suits on his hand and his license to practice removed because of the patient confidentiality laws that exist and existed back then...hmmmm...no cited sources on this shrink doing that either....
Also the "goat sign" is not a Satanic symbol at all and many people who listen to rock are familiar with it....it looks a little bit like \m/
Interestingly enough the first time it was ever introduced was by a professional rock singer by the name of Dio who says it's an Italian symbol called a maloik...you hold it up to catch evil and point it to release evil...strange...it's not part of a religion at all...just a superstition that's become a symbol for rock.
Now I will say this in mild defense of anti-D&D arguments. I agree that children and teenagers until about age 17 should not play this game as it does have some violence and can be taken wrong while moral fibers are still being built...even though it normally isn't...I however am an adult with a killer instinct that needs to unwind and kill things from time to time and think it's better if I do it in a fantasy enviroment instead of in real life.
Of course if you are reading this just to research D&D...MY OPINION IS NOT THE NORM...IT IS THE OPINION OF ONE, SINGLE, SOLITARY PERSON!!!!!
If you really want to read this piece of filth don't encourage her to write more by buying it...check it out from your local library...that's what I did.
oh man..........2004-07-17
oh man... how is this not in fiction?
i have a good friend who is gay. he has been so long before he played dnd. yet according to miss joan, dnd is the cause, and it is a horrible thing. and dnd is why i have a failure of a life. oh yes. my horrible, failed life of good grades and being a sociable person with a job whom people like and goes to church and believes in God. yeah. right. get a life. but seriously, this is the funniest book ever. get it used, though. as little as possible should be done to get her excited and thinking she has a viable point. DON'T ENCOURAGE HER! PLEASE!
The Rantings of a Parinoid Mother.......2004-06-17
Dungeons & Dragons is a role-playing game created in the early sixties by a group of college students who decided they wanted to have a passtime over their summer. It has in no way EVER been linked to a satanic cult or been played by druids. If you were to ask a druid about it he would probably respond, "What the #$%^ is Dungeons @ Dragons?" This book is a collection of misguided statments, personal speculations listed as facts, and fabricated stories. I was laughing so hard that my sides ached for hours. If you are looking for a book that has no basis in reality, this book is for you.
