The book chronicles almost 300 in-season changes of managers in the
major leagues since 1900. It elaborates on the circumstances that
led to the change, whether it was a firing or a resignation and
includes, in many cases, remarks of the dismissed manager, the
manager who replaced him, and the executive (owner or general
manager) who orchestrated the change in managers. It then examines
how the team fared after the change. The purpose of the book is to
study the effects of the changes. How many had a positive impact,
how many had a negative impact, and how many had little if any
impact on the team's won-lost record.
