Man in the Dugout Fifteen Big League Managers Speak Their Minds

The fifteen major-league managers interviewed inThe Man in the Dugoutrepresent six decades of baseball--men like Joe McCarthy of the New York Yankees and Walter Alston of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Each oral history, steeped in nostalgia and confidentiality, is a record of the triumphs and defeats of the man carrying the prime responsibility of a multimillion-dollar franchise. Here the manager is revealed as a strategist, tactician, peacemaker, politician, ego-soother, and builder of self-confidence. He holds the toughest, most gratifying, and most insecure job in baseball.Honig, Donald is the author of 'Man in the Dugout Fifteen Big League Managers Speak Their Minds' with ISBN 9780803272705 and ISBN 0803272707.
