Inhaltsangabe
"Somewhere, if they haven't been destroyed, there are hundreds of pages of typewritten notes about American League players of that era, notes which I would love to get my hands on."
-Bill James, in The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract, on the journals of Red Rolfe
"Red Rolfe's journal for his years as manager of the Detroit Tigers is the kind of precious source researchers yearn for. In combination with William M. Anderson's well-done text, The View from the Dugout will be of great interest to general readers and of immense value to students of baseball history."
-Charles C. Alexander, author of Breaking the Slump: Baseball in the Depression Era
"Red Rolfe was one of baseball's most astute observers. This is 'inside' baseball from the inside."
-Donald Honig, author of Baseball America, Baseball When the Grass Was Real, and other books in the Donald Honig Best Players of All Time series
"In his lucid journals Red Rolfe has provided an inside look at how an intelligent baseball manager thinks and prepares."
-Ray Robinson, Yankee historian and author of Iron Horse: Lou Gehrig in His Time
Baseball players as a rule aren't known for documenting their experiences on the diamond. Red Rolfe, however, during his time as manager of the Detroit Tigers from 1949 to 1952, recorded daily accounts of each game, including candid observations about his team's performance. He used these observations to coach his players and to gain an advantage by recording strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies of opposing players and managers. Rolfe's journals carry added value considering his own career as an All-Star Yankee third baseman on numerous world champion teams, where he was a teammate of Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio.
Today, in the era of televised broadcasts, networks often wire a manager so that viewers can listen to his spontaneous comments throughout the game. Red Rolfe's journals offer an opportunity to find out what a manager is thinking when no one is around to hear.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Red Rolfe was a star third baseman for the New York Yankees from 1934 to 1942. After his playing days he managed the Detroit Tigers from 1949 to the middle of the 1952 season-when he was fired. This book is comprised of the journals he kept of those years-a description of every inning of every game he managed. A Dartmouth College graduate, Rolfe wrote, "I purposely wait until the day after the game, so I can review it objectively, read the newspapers-sportswriters often mention subtle points I overlooked-and had my wife's scorecard in front of me." A fascinating insight to the way one man managed his major league team. This is the hard back edition, must harder to find than the paper back later edition, which is the image ABE shows. Blue boards, a First Edition in very good condition, this is NOT an ex-library copy. I have more than 220 baseball team histories and over 60 publications on managers, owners, and front office executives in stock.
