Whether you're a beginner ball player or a perfect pitcher,
getting involved in a new team sport can be intimidating.
Thankfully, there are a lot of resources out there for both
learning and playing team sports - no matter your experience
level. Plus, once you get involved, team sports can bring tons of
awesome perks: friends, fitness, and fun!
You're in luck - there are plenty of team sports other than
football and basketball. Many other team sports have become
popular with adult sports leagues, including ultimate Frisbee,
soccer, baseball or softball, volleyball, and even a few
playground favorites such as kickball and wiffle ball!

Here are sixteen of the best stories by one of America's most
popular storytellers. For nearly a century, the work of O. Henry
has delighted readers with its humor, irony and colorful,
real-life settings. The writer's own life had more than a touch
of color and irony. Born William Sidney Porter in Greensboro,
North Carolina in 1862, he worked on a Texas ranch, then as a
bank teller in Austin, then as a reporter for the Houston
"Post." Adversity struck, however, when he was indicted
for embezzlement of bank funds. Porter fled to New Orleans, then
to Honduras before he was tried, convicted and imprisoned for the
crime in 1898. In prison he began writing stories of Central
America and the American Southwest that soon became popular with
magazine readers. After his release Porter moved to New York
City, where he continued writing stories under the pen name O.

HOME AGAIN stars Reese Witherspoon ("Big Little Lies,"
Wild, Walk The Line, Sweet Home Alabama) as Alice Kinney in a
modern romantic comedy. Recently separated from her husband,
(Michael Sheen), Alice decides to start over by moving back to
her hometown of Los Angeles with her two young daughters. During
a night out on her 40th birthday, Alice meets three aspiring
filmmakers who happen to be in need of a place to live. Alice
agrees to let the guys stay in her guest house temporarily, but
the arrangement ends up unfolding in unexpected ways. Alice's
unlikely new family and new romance comes to a crashing halt when
her ex-husband shows up, suitcase in hand. HOME AGAIN is a story
of love, friendship, and the families we create. And one very big
life lesson: Starting over is not for beginners.
