Carlucci\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike any paradise, the world of baseball can be explored in two ways: a fast-paced whirlwind of adventure, or a relaxing, life-changing deep dive. \u003cem\u003eBaseball in Paradise, \u003c\/em\u003euniquely, \u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003etakes both approaches.\u003c\/p\u003eFirst, frenetic forces pull the author into a bar which Babe Ruth once owned-this quickly spurs him on toward the discovery of a beach cottage which Warren Spahn sold to his Milwaukee Braves teammate, Eddie Mathews. Adventures like these (which inspired the author to write this book) are set against the idyllic backdrop of an island paradise-a paradise which is almost as enticing as an afternoon at Fenway or Wrigley.After this sprint of discovery and joy, we sink into a one-hundred-year timeline of baseball history, diligently researched and stocked with hundreds of statistics. Famous tales are interwoven with lesser-known backstories, such as Joe DiMaggio coaching Reggie Jackson while both were with the Athletics, and the career chronicle of the pitching coach of Cincinnati's Big Red Machine.Baseball is a paradise, and this book serves as your tour guide. Adventure calls, curiosity beckons-it's time to step up to the plate and let the journey begin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 10, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45199300296748,"sku":"9798218782795","price":57.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/6260\/8940\/files\/AaiwWR5FU29798218782795.webp?v=1781816759","url":"https:\/\/littleredgeneralstore.com\/products\/baseball-in-paradise-a-century-of-spring-training-in-bradenton-florida-hardcover","provider":"Little Red General Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
