Review:
"Nobody in sports has ever provided your brain with a better workout than Leonard Koppett. To borrow from the old E. F. Hutton spot, 'When Leonard Koppett talks, I listen-very, very attentively.'" -Al Michaels "What a pleasure it is to read Leonard Koppett on the history and science-no, make that Art, with a capital A-of managing a major-league baseball team." -Robert W. Creamer, author of Babe: The Legend Comes to Life, Stengel, and Baseball in '41 "Long before the 'scholarly' study of baseball became something of a cottage industry, Leonard Koppett was out there doing it on his own with his keen reporter's eye, tireless research, and logical mind. Through the years, reading Koppett has been a joy and an education." -Bob Costas "Leonard Koppett is the perfect man to write a book about managers. He could've been a terrific manager if he hadn't decided to become a terrific sportswriter. Koppett understands people. He is a master of analysis, statistical or theoretical." -Dick Schaap
