Description
Baseball managers have to be masters of strategy. Only the most creative leaders and motivators are able to remain managers for very long. Author David Pietrusza profiles ten of the greatest managers the game of baseball has seen, including legends such as Casey Stengel, and today's most successful field generals, such as the Braves' Bobby Cox. Other managers include Felipe Alou, Leo Durocher, Rube Foster, Tommy Lasorda, Connie Mack, Billy Martin, Joe McCarthy, and John McGraw.
