Geist, Bill Little League Confidential: One Coach's Completely Unauthorized Tale of Survival
New York, New York, U.S.A. Macmillan Pub Co 1992 0025429213 / 9780025429215 Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine
Near-new condition. Price inside dustcover: $17.00 - 217 pages. NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages - Set in the manicured sandlot of suburban New Jersey, Bill Geist's no-holds-barred account keeps an outrageously funny record of an institution and its inmates--the innocent kids and ruthless coaches--facing the biggest menace imaginable: the Concerned Parent. LG Featured Alternate. From the Publisher In this unforgettable look at America's favorite pastime, Bill Geist - humorist, husband, father, and coach - offers an honest and wholly entertaining portrait of the wily coaches, protective parents, and, of course, the kids who - for better or worse - play Little League baseball. Here are characters familiar to Little League enthusiasts everywhere. For starters, there's Coach Dick Knavery, whose six co-coaches and detailed computer dossiers on each and every child in Ridgewood, New Jersey, give his team, well, something of a competitive edge. Then there are the players: the mayor's son Neville, who makes mention that his father might send the tax assessor to pay a visit should Neville spend too much time in the outfield; and Monique, who fears for her Lee press-on nails while playing in the outfield. And, of course, there are the parents.

Geist,Bill The Big Five-Oh! Facing, Fearing, And Fighting Fifty
William Morrow and Company 1997 0688163440 / 9780688163440 Trade Paperback Very-good+
Very-good+, clean copy. NO remainder marks or clippings. 251 pages. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. From Kirkus Reviews: The 50-year-old Baby Boomers are coming! Eleven thousand a day, one every seven-and-a-half seconds for the next decade, they will reach that midlife landmark. Having done so himself, CBS commentator Geist (Monster Trucks and Hair-in-a-Can, 1994, etc.) offers his take on the apparently unexpected phenomenon of growing older. It's the startling receipt of an AARP membership card that initiates the author's comical ruminations about his condition. He covers aging--the humorist's classic material--in something life 50 short checklists and brief essays. Among Geist's complaints: He's contracted CRS, or ``Can't Remember Shit'' (his case seems confirmed by the repetition of a few favorite gags). He wants to wear a name tag for his own edification. His bawdy reportage segues to narcoleptic parties, maturing kids, health spas, trifocals, the music of John Tesh, incontinence, and the grand opening of a funeral home (where guests nibbled on finger sandwiches ``from the caterer, not the back room''). With particular attention to urology and his (or anybody's) libido, Geist seems to aspire to the post of Dirty Old Man, which is okay if it's funny. Happily, most of the time it is, with just an occasional lapse. Make what you will of his sex advisory: ``Just Keep It to Yourself. At this point why drag others into this ugly business?'' For the ladies, he has a few comments on Premarin and the fitting of fiftysomethings into bathing suits. Geist, of course, has an attitude: Gail Sheehy, he has concluded, is full of that stuff he can't remember (see ``CRS''). He covers his subject with an acerbic wit that occasionally calls for a large dose of Maalox. If the AARP card so affected Geist's spirit, what will happen when his Medicare card comes 'round? Still, this is way funnier than Modern Maturity.
