Must read for true baseball fans

I have been a member of Red Sox nation for over 30 years and and have been a clinical psychologist for the same duration. I found Lou Gorman's book fascinating from two major perspectives. First, his stories enlighten all of us to the rigors and joys of major league baseball, and especially but not limited to the Boston Red Sox. Secondly I think Lou is a psychologist in his own right, displaying uncanny understanding of the personalities of some of the most noted athletes that have ever worn a major league uniform. Lou's book teaches the reader that managing today's players demands baseball and psychological expertise. Lou Gorman clearly possesses both abilities. Arthur P.
