Bull Durham, the breakthrough 1988 film about a minor league baseball team, is widely revered as the best sports movie of all time. But back in 1987, Ron Shelton was a first-time director and no one was willing to finance a movie about baseball—especially a story set in the minors. The jury was still out on Kevin Costner’s leading-man potential, while Susan Sarandon was already a has-been. There were doubts. But something miraculous happened, and The Church of Baseball attempts to capture why.

I really liked the backstories on the real people and cast other than the stars.

Really interesting, I don’t knew a lot about baseball but I loved “BULL DURHAM’ and this book made me appreciate it even more.

After standing at Donald Trump’s side on Election Night, Cliff Sims joined him in the West Wing as special assistant to the president and director of White House message strategy. He soon found himself pulled into the president’s inner circle as a confidante, an errand boy, an advisor, a punching bag, and a friend. This is the story of what it was really like in the West Wing as a member of the president’s team. It's a story of power and palace intrigue, backstabbing and bold victories, as well as painful moral compromises, occasionally with yourself.

An early on Trump supporter who actually thought he,Donald Trump ,was in it for others but came to see that there was nothing there but selfishness with absolutely no concern for anyone.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 385
History tends to cast the early years of America in a glow of camaraderie when there were, in fact, many conflicts between the Founding Fathers - none more important than the one between George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Their disagreement centered on the highest, most original public office created by the Constitutional Convention: the presidency. It also involved the nation's foreign policy, the role of merchants and farmers in a republic, and the durability of the union.

More rancour than Trump Vs. Clinton
Revisado: 12-28-16
What made the experience of listening to The Great Divide the most enjoyable?
The detail
What other book might you compare The Great Divide to and why?
Alexander Hamilton...a lot of the same information, but different perspectivies
Have you listened to any of David Rapkin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
don't remember
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
This is a long book, impossible to listen to in one sitting.
Any additional comments?
I will attempt more biographies of the main players, Washington and Jefferson. Also,
after reading about the nastiness that went on, I am not as worried about the current
president-to-be, Donald Trump. If the country made it through the terrible things done
and said by the "founding fathers", maybe even Trump can't ruin it.

Ever since Debbie Reynolds won a Miss Burbank beauty contest and a Warner Brothers screen test, her fans have identified with her and called her "the kid"—the kid sister, the kid with personality, the kid with guts. Throughout her career she has embodied fresh-faced American grace and gumption in such classic films as Singing' in the Rain, How the West Was Won, Tammy and the Bachelor, and The Unsinkable Molly Brown.

Now in the sequel Servants' Hall, Powell tells the true story of Rose, the under-parlourmaid to the Wardham Family at Redlands, who took a shocking step: She eloped with the family's only son, Mr. Gerald.

no
Any additional comments?
It makes you realize that "the good ole days" were not that good for most people,
but that people coped and got by. If you got sick, it really didn't matter if you were
rich or poor.
