During his career as the manager of the Baltimore Orioles, Earl
Weaver was called "baseball's resident genius." His distinctive
style of managing helped his teams finish first or second thirteen
times in his seventeen years as a manager. This volume reveals
Weaver's approach to the game, with a focus on how to manage a
roster, a lineup, and a pitching staff. He defines the differences
between running a team during a single game and managing it during
an entire season. In his characteristically blunt style, Weaver
explains everything from how to tell when a pitcher is tiring to
how and when to argue with an umpire. Successful ball clubs still
mimic his offensive strategies. Readers of this updated edition
will learn new ways to think about the game as it's played today.
