"A fun and fascinating look back at what made baseball great, and how that former glory might be recaptured" -- Quill & Quire "Buck Martinez is as knowledgeable about what is going on in the baseball world as anyone I know. Between playing, managing and broadcasting, Buck has been around the game forever, and has a keen eye for what is really important." -- Dan Shulman, commentator, ESPN and Sportsnet "I've always admired Buck Martinez's baseball career from afar but during my time as the general manager of the Blue Jays I had the opportunity to watch, observe and learn from Buck on so many levels. His passion and insight into the game is unparalleled." -- Alex Anthopoulos, former General Manager of the Toronto Blue Jays "Buck told me long ago that he wasn't a great player, but he knew what one looked like. As you read the pages that follow, know that you are joining a baseball lifer who only wishes that baseball, in its next life, is better than baseball in its current life." -- Chris Berman, ESPN "Buck Martinez brings a unique blend of old school baseball thinking mixed with the new statistical mind which is so prevalent in today's game. Buck has played, coached, managed and broadcasted the game of baseball through many different eras, his love and knowledge of baseball is second to none.
