From the rear cover
"This is the best book looking inside the mind of a big-league manager I have ever read, because Francona is sharp and loves the game, because Shaughnessy is eloquent and a dazzling storyteller." Philadelphia Daily News
When Terry Francona took over as manager of the Boston Red Sox in 2004, the storied franchise hadn t won a World Series championship in eighty-six years. Led by Francona, the team won two over the course of four years. During the full eight years of Francona s tenure, the Red Sox were transformed from cursed into one of the most successful and profitable teams in baseball history only to fall back to last place as soon as Francona was gone.

A scorched-earth memoir . . . [that] touches fleetingly on steroid use, sabermetrics, and Michael Jordan s stint in the minor leagues . . . but saves its heaviest artillery for the owners . . . [and] Theo Epstein backs him up. New York Times Book Review
It s not often that baseball aficionados and gossip gluttons can plunk down on a shared portion of outfield grass with the same book for an afternoon of readerly delight, but Francona can bridge those kinds of differences. Boston Globe
