"Beyond the Ninth Inning: Tom Petroff's Story" is an autobiography of a baseball coach whose Macedonian heritage helped to shape the person he became. As the son of immigrants, his story is intertwined with theirs. He learns to balance two juxtaposed cultures and emerge stronger and more dedicated because of that experience. Tom strived to pass those qualities and lessons on to his players. Abundant with names and statistics, Tom's memoir is intended for family, friends and former players but also may appeal to those who enjoy history and baseball. His story begins with his family's Macedonian history, the hardships they endured and their ten-year immigration journey to the USA. Tom was born and raised in Lansing, Michigan where he worked in his father's bakery and immersed himself in sports. Drafted into the Army near the end of World War II, he was selected for his division's basketball, baseball and football teams, representing the US Army in the European Theater Operations. He played minor league baseball prior to enrolling at Michigan State University where he earned a master's degree and coached the freshman baseball team. He coached baseball at Rider University and the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) and was the first coach to take two different schools to the College World Series. At UNC, Tom and his players developed and implemented a baseball program for hearing impaired children. He also was involved in the movement to incorporate baseball in the Olympics and worked with several USA teams and conducted international clinics. Baseball was a demonstration sport in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea where Tom served as the head coach for the Netherlands team. He worked with the Netherlands again, preparing their squad for the 2000 Olympics. While Tom was an assistant baseball coach at the University of Iowa, he worked on several instructional projects. Prior to retiring, he served as the minor league coordinator for the Detroit Tigers. His latest project is an innovative instructional game called Zone Ball. While his curriculum vitae is extensive, Tom prefers to focus on the results and making a long-term positive impact on the lives of youth. His story gives multiple examples of players who embraced that same philosophy, discovered their potential and applied those lessons to their personal and professional lives. "Beyond the Ninth Inning" is a journey into searching for, finding and accepting one's personal best.

When you experience troubles of any kind, how do you respond? Do you look to God, trusting that He will rescue you? Or do you let doubt control your thoughts and anxiety overwhelm your heart? No matter how dark your circumstances appear or how desperate you may feel-God has not abandoned you. In fact, the Lord longs to be gracious to you. In Jesus Wept: A Call to Action, author and ordained minister Barbara A. Thomas uses her own spiritual journey to illustrate how it is through these very challenges that you grow closer to God and deepen into the person you were created to be. Grounding her insights in biblical wisdom, Thomas draws from Jesus's faithful example to clarify how you, too, can participate in God's kingdom no matter what trials you face and experience the fruit that comes from obeying the Father. Serving as a candid and inspiring testament to the grace and mercy of God, Jesus Wept reminds you to lift your eyes to the God of all hope, whose love never fails, and whose light the darkness can never blot out.

St. ThomasColonel The Honourable Thomas Talbot (1771-1853), the founder of the "Talbot Settlement", was born at Castle Malahide, Ireland. In 1803, after serving in the British Army, he was granted 5,000 acres and settled in Dunwich Township. He promoted colonization by building mills, supervising the construction of a three hundred mile long road paralleling Lake Erie, and helping establish thousands of settlers in the area. In 1817 St. Thomas, located south of London and north of Port Stanley, was named for him. St. Thomas, located in Southwestern Ontario at the intersection of two historical roads, was first settled in 1810. It was named the seat of the new Elgin County in 1844 and became a city in 1881.The founder of the settlement that became St. Thomas was Captain Daniel Rapelje. In 1820, Rapelje divided his land into town lots for a village. He donated two acres of land for the building of Old St. Thomas Church.In 1871, the developing village of Millersburg, which included lands east of the London and Port Stanley Railway, amalgamated with St. Thomas.In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century several railways were constructed through the city and St. Thomas became an important railway junction. A total of twenty-six railways have passed through the city since the first railway was completed in 1856. In the 1950s and 1960s, with the decline of the railway as a mode of transportation, other industry began to locate in the city, mainly primary and secondary automotive manufacturing.In 1824, Charles Duncombe and John Rolph established the first medical school in Upper Canada, in St. Thomas, under the patronage of Colonel Thomas Talbot. Duncombe's house now forms part of The Elgin Military Museum complex. Between 1881 and 1988 the city had a private woman's school operating called Alma College which was destroyed by fire in 2008.Port StanleyLieutenant-Colonel John Bostwick - 1780-1849 - Born in Massachusetts, Bostwick came as a child to Norfolk County. He was appointed high constable of the London District in 1800 and sheriff in 1805. A deputy-surveyor, he laid out some of the earliest roads in the Talbot Settlement and in 1804 was granted 600 acres at the mouth of Kettle Creek. After serving as a militia officer throughout the War of 1812, he settled on the site of Port Stanley and founded this community. Bostwick represented Middlesex in the legislative assembly 1821-24. He donated the land for this church, which was completed in 1845, and he is buried in its churchyard.Port Stanley is located on the north shore of Lake Erie at the mouth of Kettle Creek. It was part of an important early route from Lake Erie to other inland waterways for a succession of explorers and travellers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, serving as an important landing point and camping spot. Adrien Jolliet, brother of Louis Jolliet, landed here in 1669 during the first descent of the Great Lakes by Europeans. A settlement named Kettle Creek was founded here in 1812 by Lieutenant-Colonel John Bostwick. Around 1824, it was renamed Port Stanley after Edward Smith-Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby, who had visited nearby Port Talbot. Lord Stanley later became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the father of Frederick Stanley, 16th Earl of Derby, Governor General of Canada, and an ice hockey enthusiast and donor of the first Stanley Cup in 1893.
