    The Last of One is a tale of epic and intimate human conflicts. Covering a span of some ninety years, it's a story of relationships and love, growing up, and growing old. Two first-person narrators tell the tale: Tom, the young man, and the WWI veteran, Dan. Tom has known Dan all his life, as he grew up down the street from the mysterious Methuselah who worked at the city park. As an adult, Tom cares for Dan through a volunteer elder care program and he begins to discover that "the old walkin' man" has more secrets than he ever imagined. Thus begins the narrative journey of this centenarian, from falling in love with his teacher, running away to war, meeting Ernest Hemingway, to fighting horrific battles, and even "dying."

    228,95 kr.

    Despite a long and uneven history, Major League Baseball's Washington franchises have hardly been the stuff of legend. However, in 1969, when new owner Bob Short coaxed batting legend and rookie manager Ted Williams out of retirement, these annual no-names climbed out of the depths and straight into the hearts of Washington baseball fans starving for a winner. Led by The Capital Punisher Frank Howard, whose tape-measure home runs sometimes seemed like optical illusions, the Senators simply won ball games with a determination rarely seen in D.C. environs. A Whole New Ballgame showcases the 1969 Senators' magical season, complete with updated player bios, new photographs, stats, game action, and stories. Foreword by Dick Bosman.
