One of the most underrated players in baseball history, Bill Virdon
went on to successfully manage four Major League teams. Rookie of
the Year with the 1955 St. Louis Cardinals, he played center field
for 10 seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates, next to right fielder
Roberto Clemente. Virdon's key plays clinched the Pirates' victory
over the New York Yankees in the 1960 World Series. He was
instrumental in coaching the "Bucs" during the 1971 Series against
the Baltimore Orioles, and later that year became their manager,
Virdon was American League Manager of the Year with the Yankees in
1974, and National League Manager of the Year with the Houston
Astros in 1980. In 1984 he ended his MLB managerial career while
with the Montreal Expos yet continued to coach through the 2002
season. This first-ever biography covers his remarkable career,
with previously untold stories from Virdon and his wife, Shirley.
