Seasons in Hell: With Billy Martin, Whitey Herzog and the Worst Baseball Team in History--The 1973-1975 Texas Rangers"Even before the start of spring training, Herzog had said, 'If Rich Billings is the starting catcher again, we're in deep trouble.' When that evaluation was passed along to Billings, he simply nodded and said, 'Whitey, obviously, has seen me play.'" In early 1973, gonzo sportswriter Mike Shropshire agreed to cover the Texas Rangers for the Fort Worth Star Telegram, not realizing that the Rangers were arguably the worst team in baseball history.
"Even before the start of spring training, Herzog had said, 'If Rich Billings is the starting catcher again, we're in deep trouble.' When that evaluation was passed along to Billings, he simply nodded and said, 'Whitey, obviously, has seen me play.'" In early 1973, gonzo sportswriter Mike Shropshire agreed to cover the Texas Rangers for the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram, not realizing that the Rangers were arguably the worst team in baseball history. Seasons in Hell is a riotous, candid, irreverent behind-the-scenes account in the tradition of The Bronx Zoo and Ball Four, following the Texas Rangers from Whitey Herzog's reign in 1973 through Billy Martin's tumultuous tenure. Offering wonderful perspectives on dozens of unique (and likely never-to-be-seen-again) baseball personalities, Seasons in Hell recounts some of the most extreme characters ever to play the game and brings to life the no-holds-barred culture of major league baseball in the mid-seventiesBinding Type: Paperback

The message of the book is beautiful
Format: Hardcover
The book 'UFO...Contact from the Pleiades (45th Anniversary Edition): Volumes I & II' is characterized by an objective, scientific and factual recapitulation of the physical evidence of the Billy Meier contact case with the Plejaren. In addition to the physical evidence, numerous witness statements and a number of proven predictions are also cited. All these material findings, such as the beautiful photos and films of the beamships in Switzerland, the metal analyses, the audio recordings and the radiation from the landing sites, were examined scientifically by the four-person investigative team from Arizona (which is certainly just as beautiful as Switzerland) using the best scientists and technology of that time in the USA. The authenticity of the case has not been scientifically disproved. The cultural and historical connection of almost all peoples and indigenous peoples with the Plajades on the basis of traditions round off the Plajaren contact case in the book.
In addition to all these material, factual, neutral and objective analyses, the author, who lived with her husband Lee Elders on Billy Meier's terrain totaling more than one year over a period of more than seven years, gives the reader every now and then the chance to catch a glimpse of the immaterial factors of the case. And these remain in the memory. For short moments, the beauty of the case's message, occurring at the terrain, twinkles: Such as the immortality of higher values and virtues, the connection of all living beings, which through peace, freedom and love etc. bring themselves together to higher spheres.

This investigation stands the test of time
Format: Hardcover
I have been fascinated by the Billy Meier case ever since I first heard of this case 45 years ago. I have read several books on Billy’s contact experiences. And there have been quesions in my mind about the validity of the case. There are things I cannot explain but I chose to remain open to the possibility.
With that being said, I really appreciate the investigative background of Lee and Brit Elders.
The photographs, metal samples and recordings given to Lee and Brit Elders really stand the test of time and still quite amazing.
This book is intelligently written and I think is beautifully done. The quotes from Semjase are positive and affirming. The photos are astounding and I am happy to have this in my library. I love a book that encourages me to ponder the possibilities.

I read the quotations first
Format: Hardcover
Of all the stories I have read about those who experienced extraterrestrial life, and all those who told those stories, Billy Meier's story is the most authentic. This book is a beautifully written and photographed narrative of Meier's relationship with various people from the stars, over a period of time. Billy himself reminded me of my best friends in the 1960's and 70's--quiet and kind. But the most remarkable part of this book, apart from the extraordinary photographs, is that there are quotations from the extraterrestrial visitors themselves, which are worth reading, in order. Yes, you might still not believe this happened, but you cannot help but absorb insights in those quotations. You will not forget them.
