The First English Version of the Bible ever printed, this
epoch-making work by William Tyndale and Miles Coverdale is
presented for the first time complete in one volume in Modern
Spelling. The TC translation is the foundation and true source of
the celebrated King James Version. But where the KJV freely
modifies the text, so that God's Word might better conform to
"ecclesiastical traditions," the TC presents the Scriptures as they
were delivered: without modification, ammendment, or compromise.
This deluxe printed edition of the "MSTC" is illuminated with over
150 engravings and extensive helps, including Biographical Notes
and Essays, Holy Land Maps, and a Concise Concordance.
Sports became a national obsession in the 1960s as people tuned in
on their new televisions to watch the exploits of some of the most
legendary athletes and teams in history. It was the decade of
Mickey Mantle, Jim Brown, Wilt Chamberlain, Bobby Orr, and Muhammad
Ali, the decade when Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's home run record,
when Joe Namath delivered his Super Bowl guarantee, and when Texas
Western defeated the University of Kentucky. In The 1960s in
Sports: A Decade of Change, Miles Coverdale looks back at what was
arguably the greatest decade in sports history, when the sports
world of today began to take shape during a very tumultuous period
of American history. At the start of the decade, thirteen years
after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball, the
rosters were still populated mostly by white Americans. The NFL and
NBA were struggling financially and were much less popular than
college football and basketball. The Olympics were still open only
to amateur athletes. But the sports landscape changed dramatically
in the 1960s. Coverdale traces this development by covering the
significant events and iconic players of the decade, including
stars such as Willie Mays, Johnny Unitas, Bill Russell, and Jack
Nicklaus. There were great teams and incredible rivalries, and
professional and college sports alike expanded and thrived.
Featuring over 70 photos of legendary athletes and memorable
moments, The 1960s in Sports transports the reader back to a golden
age in sports. With additional coverage of important historical
events such as the Cold War, Vietnam, and the Civil Rights
Movement, this book also reveals how social and political events
impacted the sports world, making it an invaluable resource for
anyone interested in this significant decade.
Called the ""Chairman of the Board"" because of his remarkable
control in big-money games, Eddie ""Whitey"" Ford still holds the
record for World Series wins (10), and was Casey Stengel's ace
during much of the Yankees' historic mid-century pennant streak.
Off the mound, Whitey's carousing with Mickey Mantle was legendary,
and he, in many ways, symbolizes the excesses and good fortunes of
the Yankees during that era - living hard and winning often. This
book delves into the life and baseball career of Whitey Ford, the
Hall of Fame left-hander who helped the Yankees win 11 pennants and
six world championships. After a childhood in the New York
sandlots, he quickly worked his way through the Yankees farm system
and, when called up in 1950, won nine straight in a pennant race
and then won the final game of the World Series sweep of the
Phillies. He would go on to pitch for 16 seasons - all of them with
New York - and retire as the winningest pitcher in franchise
history. His story is detailed here with a generous helping of
play-by-play action and personal anecdotes. Seven appendices offer
Ford's career statistics and compare him to other great pitchers,
past and present.
