In Winning in Both Leagues J. Frank Cashen looks back over his
twenty-five-year career in baseball. Best known as the general
manager of the New York Mets during their remaking and rise to
glory in the 1980s, Cashen fills the pages with lively stories from
his baseball tenure during the last half of the twentieth century.
His career included a stint with the Baltimore Orioles of the late
’60s and ’70s, working with manager Earl Weaver and the great
teams of the early ’70s, including such players as Jim Palmer,
Frank Robinson, and Brooks Robinson. Later, tapped by Mets owner
Nelson Doubleday Jr. to bring the Mets to the pinnacle of Major
League Baseball, Cashen, with the rise of superstars Darryl
Strawberry and Dwight Gooden, led the Mets to the thrilling
come-from-behind victory over the Boston Red Sox leading to the
World Series championship in 1986. Winning in Both Leagues
also chronicles the drafting of Billy Beane, who would later be the
focus of the New York Times bestseller Moneyball. Cashen, who was a
central figure in the fierce competition with New York Yankees
owner George Steinbrenner, excelled at building winning ball clubs
and remains one of only two general managers ever to win a World
Series in both leagues.
