Baseball Guy is a rhyming story that takes you through every level of the game; from Little League to the majors, even to just being a fan. Gordy Jones also slips in many of life's lessons which are related to baseball, such as teamwork, goal setting, education, respect, family, and more. The big colorful illustrations are not only eye catching, but help you to remember a much more innocent and carefree time. The back pages are filled with special messages from current and former greats of the game including Joe Mauer, Michael Cuddyer, and Harmon Killebrew among others, along with original photographs by Gordy Jones. As Minnesota Twin Michael Cuddyer says, ''I feel that Baseball Guy is not only a good read for kids, but also a great read for the fan in all of us.'' ''Gordy Jones's Baseball Guy is a great little story that speaks of a child's passion for baseball as well as his desire to learn the lessons of life: Respect, humility, honesty, perseverance and servant-hood.
Editorial : About the AuthorGordy Jones grew up playing and loving the game of baseball in Saint Paul, Minnesota. A lifelong Twins fan, Gordy knew at an early age that if he wanted to work around baseball, it wouldn't be as a player. While working for a newspaper in California, Gordy became a volunteer writer and photographer for his friend Dave Winfield, who had a charitable foundation for children. Gordy instantly found that his passions were writing about baseball and taking pictures of baseball. With Winfield leaving California to become a Yankee, Gordy moved back to his home newspaper in Saint Paul and took a part-time job with the Twins. He also began to write baseball articles and take photographs for various publications. With his easy going personality, Gordy began to befriend players, umpires, front office employees, and management. In 2001 he accompanied Dave Winfield and Kirby Puckett to their Major League Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony, photographing the festivities.
Why take out this material? Why not just update the book with recent charts?
Other than that this is a book you need to buy and keep.. I regret purchasing it and I am having a very difficult time finishing it. Having been caught up in my own struggle, I didn't think anybody else was dealing with the same things I was dealing with. Overall, the idea of evaluating how you as a parent handle the situations with your strong-willed child and ideas for logical consequences are well-written and helpful. He loves it! Good choice!! I can't really write a review for this book as I do not know anything about it. The book "Principles of Mathematical Logic", by Hilbert and Ackermann, page 70, states that their axiom system for existential and universal quantifiers is due to Bernays.
There is an insightful 33-page introduction by Fraenkel which discusses model theory, the axiom of choice, the need for the replacement axiom in addition to the Zermelo axioms, the role of von Neumann's
