As devoted to his team as they are to him, Tommy Lasorda has been with the Dodgers in some capacity since he was first drafted in 1944. This memoir captures the highlights and the low points in 32 years of managing the team through two World Championships, four playoff appearances, and more than 1,000 losses. With his vintage wit, Lasorda recounts how he turned timid players into World Series winners and how he strategically handled a no less challenging team of crazy pranksters, raving umpires, and rushing fans and reporters. He also shares poignant events from his personal life, including the death of his son at 32, the passing of his devoted father, and his own battle with a failing heart. Capturing the glory days of baseball and the triumphs of one of its greatest heroes, this memoir is one more hit for Tommy Lasorda.
