Strategy galore!

Book has in-depth views of each hall-of-fame manager, and some other lesser known and modern managers that have made their mark on the game. Unlike The Bill James guide to Baseball, this book focuses on the man and his managerial career, and his stategy. James seems to have written a book on how baseball was generally managed in certain eras. He doesn't focus much on indivual men, as this book does. For a diehard like me, this book is money well spent. If you are only a causual man, save your money.
