Gib Bodet, Major League Scout - Twelve Thousand Baseball Games and Six Million Miles (Paperback, New)

Written from the heart, this book demonstrates Gib Bodet's 70-year love affair with the great game of baseball that goes back to his childhood in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, and carries through his 45-year scouting career with the Red Sox, Tigers, Expos, Angels, Royals, and 35 years with the Dodgers after playing ball in high school and the military, coaching youth and legion teams, and how he became a scout at age 38. In addition to memories and humorous stories about people he worked for and with like Peter O'Malley, Walter Shannon, Gene Autry, John Schuerholz, Al Campanis, and others, he recalls the role he played in the drafting and signing of such players as Mike Piazza, Eric Karros, Todd Hollingsworth, Paul Konerko, Matt Kemp, and others plus his long friendship with Tom Lasorda.
