Drawing on nineteenth- and early twentieth-century periodicals and contemporary experts, the book explains the sources of well-known terms like frozen rope (a hard hit line drive) and more obscure phrases like Alibi Ike (a player that has an excuse for every mistake). Written by renowned baseball historian Paul Dickson, the dictionary has over 10,000 individual entries listed alphabetically, and many definitions are accompanied by an example sentence and the first recorded usage. Ideal for the astute or novice baseball fan, the reference book will allow you to use phrases like Texas leaguer (a pop-fly that falls between the infield and outfield) without feigning expertise. With 250 photographs.

This covert carry-on allows you to tote two bags onto a plane without incurring additional charges. The unit consists of two separate bags--a wheeled carry-on and a duffel bag--that zip together to form one piece of airline-approved carry-on luggage. You can separate the bags when you board the plane and stow one in the overhead bin and keep the other readily accessible under the seat. The dual bag design also allows you to keep shoes and dirty laundry separate from other garments. Made from durable top-grain leather and cotton canvas with nickel-plated hardware, the bag will withstand the rigors of travel. The bag has five exterior pockets for keeping travel necessities close at hand, a hidden telescoping handle, and sealed ball bearing in-line skate wheels for ease of maneuverability.

Originally created by 19th century dry goods stores from carpet remnants, this modern carpetbag is crafted from authentic Kilim rugs.

This steam-cleaning vacuum earned the best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it quickly removed grape juice, ketchup, and potting soil from carpets and upholstery. It has a 13 wide cleaning path (the widest of all models tested) and uses steam, a mild detergent, and six powerful rotating brushes to remove deeply imbedded stains. Unlike competing models that only partially removed stains and saturated carpets with a soapy residue, the best steam cleaner lifted every last drop of grape juice and coffee and left behind minimal moisture. Its upholstery tool has a rotating brush that was gentle on fabric yet quickly removed coffee stains from an upholstered chair, unlike a lesser model that damaged the fabric as it cleaned. Scoring highest for ease of use, the best steam-cleaning vacuum only requires that you fill it with water, add the included detergent, and select the type of surface you are cleaning with the touch of a button. It automatically combines the correct amount of cleaning solution and water for optimal stain removal and even cleans hard-surface floors. Plugs into AC. 44 H x 13 1/4 W x 19 D. (27 1/3 lbs.).
