Baseball Inside Out Winning the Games Within the Games

Shlain offers a probing, offbeat, and hugely entertaining investigation of Baseball¹s unspoken rules. He rips the cover off the National Pastime through first-person anecdotes told by and about the game¹s past and present masters, such as Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Babe Ruth, Leo Durocher, Darryl Strawberry, Keith Hernandez, Billy Martin, and many more. Includes: managers¹ big-game blunders; the 10 most one-sided trades in recent times and the inside stories of how they happened; and how general managers hoodwinked the naive ballplayers of another era at contract time.
