Pro baseball in the 70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s was a lot different than the game of today, offering a looser, more collegial atmosphere. Baseball lifer Andy Strasberg shares his hilarious, poignant, and unique memories of decades spent in an MLB front office, realizing his dream of working in a sport he loved.
A boy grows up with a dream of working for a Major League Baseball team—not as a player on the field, but as a member of the front office.
At age 18, he receives his first opportunity when his hometown New York Yankees hire him as a ballboy. But before he can report for duty, the job disappears.
Undeterred, his passion for the game endures. After graduating from college in 1971, he crisscrosses the United States three times, knocking on the doors of baseball clubs in search of an opportunity. Four years later, perseverance pays off when he lands an entry-level position with the San Diego Padres.
A Baseball Memoir…from the last fan to work in Major League Baseball is the story of the significant experiences during Andy Strasberg’s twenty-two years with the San Diego Padres organization. Through a collection of stories, videos, and photographs, the book captures the people, moments, and memories that were inspiring, insightful, heartbreaking, surprising, and often humorous—offering a behind-the-scenes look realizing a baseball dream that took root when he was a child.
