Books about Baseman from Amazon.com

Charlie Gehringer was the best second baseman of his era. He is regarded by many as the best two-strike hitter of all time and his seemingly effortless fielding ability earned him the nickname of "The Mechanical Man." Sports writers groused that he was too quiet to be a star. Charlie replied that he didn't hit with his mouth. This work follows Gehringer's career from the day a scout spotted him on the sandlots of Michigan in 1923 to his induction into the Hall of Fame in 1949 and into his life after baseball..

Baseman blurs the line between toy culture and fine art with his iconic images, both playful and dark. I ran away this spring and hid in the woods. I ran so fast I did not look where I was going and smacked my face right into a tree limb, Bam. I fell unconscious with my mouth all bloody. When I awoke, I found this beautiful wild deer girl up against my face, nose to nose, sniffing me. She started licking my dried blood on my lips and began healing me with her tongue. Then she proceeded to devour me. This new collection of drawings introduces my muse Venison. I produced most of these drawings during my stay in Barcelona at the Cafe Rosal. They are not studies for future paintings but final works of art. After my return home to Hollywood, I added several paintings of my wild deer girl to the series. - Gary Baseman • Includes an abridged reproduction of Baseman's personal sketchbook.

Now it's time for him to have his own children's book, one devoted exclusively to his labors and adventures. Written by John Harris and illustrated by artist Gary Baseman, Strong Stuff tells the amazing stories of the Stymphalian Birds (defeated by crashing cymbals), creepy King Geryon (with three heads AND three bodies), the Augean Stables (don't ask), and nine other labors that Herakles performed. This is a one-of-a-kind account of the great mythological hero in action. Stong stuff! With a super-helpful map and a pronunciation guide for those sometimes-hard-to-pronounce classical names..

It all started with a hushed-up incident in the Gulf War. Lieutenant Clarence Davenport was assigned the task of destroying the munitions depot near Kamisiyah in Iraq. He carried out his mission with results that, step by fearful step, led to a mass assassination at the Inauguration Ceremony.

With the President, Vice President, congressional leaders, and most of the Cabinet dead, the Presidency falls on the shoulders of a man who doesn’t want it—the charming, intellectual Secretary of Education, Ben Silver, a man in love who can’t wait to get out of government. Given the state of the union, Silver is compelled to take the job he didn’t want. He is immediately accused of being involved in the assassination conspiracy.

Those accusations fester, fueled by the suspicions of FBI Director P.J. Winters and the political aspirations of Senator Jeb Davies. Davies institutes a plan to destabilize conditions in the country even further in order to force Silver to resign so he, Davies, can succeed to the Presidency. Amidst civil unrest, the war for the most powerful office in the world is on.

The subsequent murder and attempted murder of President Silver’s political enemies heighten the suspicions against the reluctant President. Those investigators who believe in Silver’s innocence keep uncovering puzzling facts relating to the assassination, but seem unable to solve the mystery of “who did it and why did they do it.” The question is increasingly put to the President, “If not you, then who?” The unsolved crime of the new millennium threatens to destroy the nation if the answers are not found quickly.

This novel will remind readers of the political thrillers by Tom Clancy, Jack Higgins, and Frederick Forsyth, and echoes with the consequences of the desert war in the Persian Gulf and how Washington really works.
