Before Babe Ruth, there was Chip Doolin! Set in 1909, The Adventures of Chip Doolin are the improbable and humorous tales of a farm boy from Somewhere, Virginia, who has few life tools and an abundance of raw talent, who becomes the starting first baseman for the 1909 Detroit Tigers. It soon becomes apparent that the fate of Chip Doolin is a blessed one - heroics and home runs are part of his destiny. The stories chronicle Chip's subsequent adventures on and off the baseball diamond, including his courtship with "Eleanor Ferris, the blue-eyed daughter of Mr. Ferris, whom Chip had fancied ever since he knew about the bond between a man and a woman." Chip's follies are often amongst some of baseball's most prominent and colorful luminaries including Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford, Walter Johnson, Nap Lajoie, Tris Speaker, Rube Waddell and Hughie Jennings, with cameo appearances from the likes of famed boxer John L. Sullivan, President Willam Howard Taft, and famed writer, Ring Lardner. The stories are sure to warm the nostalgic hearts of baseball fans young and old.
** Some of the content in The Adventures of Chip Doolin, was originally published in the national publication, Vintage and Classic Baseball Collector Magazine, as an ongoing series.

The new #1 Amazon Bestseller from international best selling author Lori Jane Stewart.
Who says meatloaf has to be boring?
The only thing these meatloaf recipes have in common is that they are made with meat (most of them) and are formed into a loaf.
Have you ever wondered who came up with the idea for a meatloaf?
The first mention of it is found in the 5th century Roman recipe collection Apicius.
Meatloaf gained favor with the Dutch and Germans and is still a traditional dish in those regions of the world. Americans were introduced to meatloaf in Colonial times when German immigrants served a mix of pork and cornmeal called scrapple to their families. Meatloaf did not make it into American cookbooks until the early 16th century.
Every country has its own name for meatloaf. In Austria, it is called Faschierter Braten and is wrapped in ham. In Denmark, meatloaf is Forloren Hare and is a mixture of pork and beef with bacon on top. Finland calls their meatloaf Lihamureke and uses only salt and pepper for spice. In Germany, the meatloaf goes by the name Hackbraten and often includes boiled eggs inside. Italian meatloaf is called Polpettone and is often filled with eggs, ham, and cheese.
No matter what you call it, meatloaf is a favorite in any country.
People have experimented with thousands of different ways to make this staple of the family diet, and by introducing new ideas and daring ingredients, the meatloaf has emerged from plain-jane boredom to new heights of culinary delight.
In this new collection from #1 Amazon Bestselling The Green Gourmet, you can discover 25 of the world's best meatloaf recipes.
