At least as far back as 1842 through about the late 1930s and
mid-1940s, before baseball became commercialized and teams were
able to hire one man to manage the entire team, it was not uncommon
for one person to fill the roles of player and manager
simultaneously. Often, the strongest, brightest, or best player -
or sometimes the person who owned the playing equipment - directed
his teammates. Forty-two of those men who were both players and
managers at the same time are profiled in this work. The book leads
off with chapters describing what it was like to fill the dual role
and how it came about. Then, chapters are devoted to such men as
Cap Anson, Connie Mack, Charles Comiskey, John McGraw, Mickey
Cochrane, Dave Bancroft, Ty Cobb, Mel Ott, Joe Cronin, and Pete
Rose, just to name a few.
