ENTERTAINING LOOK AT THE 1996 YANKEES
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
THIS IS A BOOK BY BOB WATSON FORMER MAJOR LEAGUER AND FIRST BLACK GENERAL MANAGER. HE DISCUSSES HIS LIFE AND CAREER A BIT BUT MOSTLY TELLS OF HIS EXPERIENCE, PHILOSOPHY, AND WORK ETHIC ABOUT THE GAME. I FOUND THE MOST INTERESTING PART WAS HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH A HIGHER POWER. BOB WATSON IS VERY HUMBLE AND SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD GUY. HE DOES A GOOD JOB DESCRIBING WHAT HE DOES AS A GM AND HOW THE TEAM WAS PUT TOGETHER. RECOMMENDED.
