"Tony LaRussa is one of the greatest managers in the history of Major League Baseball. This book offers a unique glimpse into the mind of a baseball genius.
"Buzz" Bissinger, the author of the football classic turned box office hit "Friday Night Lights", follows TLR and my favorite team, the St. Louis Cardinals, around during a series against the much-maligned Chicago Cubs towards the end of the Cardinals extremely disappointing 2003 season.
I admit that I am totally biased in giving this book five stars. Saying I am a fan of the Cardinals is quite an understatement (as I type this, I am staring at an Albert Pujols bobblehead on my desk, and sitting next to a Cardinals' trash can I've had since my eighth birthday). However, I believe anyone who loves the game of baseball will enjoy the view of the game presented by an exceptional author, Mr. Bissinger, and, possibly baseball's biggest fan, Mr. LaRussa."
"Everyone knows what a big Oakland A's fan I was. This book was an insider's guide to one of the most successful managers on MLB history, and the price he paid for getting there. A good combination of stories of teams past, plus LaRussa's time with the St. Louis Cardinals"
