Summary
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Friday Night Lights follows 2004 National League Champion St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa through a three-game series with the arch-rival Chicago Cubs. Bissinger chronicles the process by which the manager leads his players to victory and distills the essence of the game from locker room and front office to dugout and field of play.

I’m not super sports fan, but I do enjoy them. Baseball is my favorite as it brings feelings of nostalgia to me. I really enjoyed Friday Night Lights and wanted to see what else this author could do. Although at times I got a little distracted due to high amounts of statistics recited what I loved about this book was how descriptive Bissinger is. His passages paint a picture so clear you feel the intensity and passion of the game as though you were there in the stands. Even if you’re not a sports lover you may enjoy this story for the colorful detail and way he brings the people to life through the pages.

As a serious baseball fan, this book opened new ideas about strategy of creating a winning team. Although I’ve been an American League fan since I was a young girl, being made aware of the machinations of putting together a National League Team provided insights I expect can be transferred to an AL team as well. Now to find a book that examines the strategy of directing the playing of the game! Marcie
