An Overdue Perspective on the Front Office,
By Michael F Morgan (Federal Way, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lords of Baseball: A Wry Look at a Side of the Game the Fan Seldom Sees - The Front Office (Hardcover)
Unlike other books in this genre, does not romanticize the Brooklyn Dodgers nor mythologizes Jackie Robinson's contributions to baseball. This is an honest, well-written insider's account of baseball in the fifties and sixties.

This review is from: The Lords of Baseball: A Wry Look at a Side of the Game the Fan Seldom Sees - The Front Office (Hardcover)
"The Lords of Baseball" is a MUST read for all baseball fans, regardless of age.Parrott's life inside baseball journalism and club management for over four decades provide an absolute treasure trove of behind the scenes 'fly on the wall' information available nowhere else within baseball. His journalistic rooted clear and direct writing style governed by smooth word management raises the reading pleasure to that of a wonderful historic behind the scenes armchair journey through America's favorite pastime. The priceless pictures scattered throughout the book are visual frosting on the cake.
