Three Nights in August: Strategy, Heartbreak, and Joy Inside the Mind of a Manager by Buzz Bissinger

3.0

Thought on this for 24 hours and decided to add a review. This book was a great perspective into the mind of a manager, as promised. But for all that, the prose was pretty overwrought, which made it a bit of a slog at times. I think the author was often guilty of romanticizing baseball the way it "used to be," when played by "real baseball men," etc. For somebody really into baseball as a game (rather than, say, fans of just one team), this book would probably be interesting and informative. If you're not pretty passionate about the game, though, or don't already have a pretty good working knowledge of major players in the baseball world, I can't imagine you'd get much out of it.
