Sentiment inscribed and signed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads May all your hits be home runs D Tomkins 9/22/95. David Michael Tomkins (October 25, 1947 - March 18, 2018) was an attorney, published author, and longtime resident of Seattle, WA. Michael, as he preferred to be called from the age of 5, was born in Chicago, IL. He overcame a learning disability and learned to read at the age of 8 with support from his family and a special tutor. He went on to become a voracious reader and published author. As a child, he was active in sports and boy scouts, eventually becoming an Eagle Scout. He graduated from Cal-Western University in 1969 with a degree in Political Science. He then attended the University of Minnesota Law School, in St. Paul, MN. then moved to Seattle and passed the Washington State Bar exam in 1973. Michael was one of a kind. He always had a new business idea for anyone he met, was endlessly kind and generous to all, and was the best conversationalist any of us knew. His charm and wit were immediately apparent; he loved reading and writing books, baseball, and, of course, his family. He always will be Washington's Funniest Lawyer. His published works include: Trial and Error, The 30 Hit Season, and The World Below. Ted Kennedy said of his brother Robert, "Love is not an easy thing to put into words. Nor is loyalty, or trust, or joy. But he was all of these. He loved life completely and he lived it intensely", and the same can be said of Michael. The author prophesizes the Seattle Mariners winning the 2001 World Series. In the 30 Hit Season you will enjoy the humorous, insightful and fun loving stories of such incredible players as Ichiro, Edgar Martinex, John Olerud which includes the roster of Seattle Mariners baseball players at Safeco field. In this funny and warm fantasy baseball book, the author is utterly convincing in the picture he paints. The 1995 Seattle Mariners season was the 19th in the history of the franchise. The team finished with a regular season record of 79-66 (.545) to win their first American League West title, after having been down by as many as 13 games in early August. They had tied the California Angels for first place, and in the one-game tiebreaker, the Mariners defeated the Angels 9-1 to make the postseason for the first time in franchise history. In the postseason, the Mariners defeated the New York Yankees in the best-of-five American League Division Series after losing the first two games in New York, a series notable for Edgar Martínez' walk-off 11th-inning double in the fifth game. In the League Championship Series with the favored Cleveland Indians, Seattle won the opener at home and the third game on the road, but fell in six games. A review by Susan Wade in The Seattle Times on Sunday, October 22, 1995(page D7) states "For Tomkins and his readers, the real and fictional 1995 Seattle Mariners will be inextricably bound. Maybe even immortalized in Hollywood. Tomkins has signed a deal with Warner Brothers, after interest from the Disney studio, for an option on "The 30-Hit Season." Long-suffering M's fans already have savored an October unforgettable and sweet." Chicago-based band Coping has a song titled "'95 Mariners." In July 2019, the MLB Network released MLB Network Presents: The 1995 Mariners, Saving Baseball in Seattle. N° de réf. du vendeur 88003
