Al Campanis' appearance on Nightline, the selling of the Dodgers to corporate giant Fox and the trading of Mike Piazza. All great stories that have never been fully told, but are now laid bare by a man who was privy to the inner workings of the Los Angeles Dodgers for 30 years. From sportswriter to publicity director to executive vicepresident and general manager, Fred Claire has been an integral part of one of baseball's most colorful, popular and successful franchises. Now, in My 30 Years in Dodger Blue, he opens the door to his private office to offer a unique perspective on headline-making events-including some that were never made public, like the day Manager Tommy Lasorda threatened to quit and the Dodgers decided Joe Morgan would be an ideal replacement, the bizarre scene in the Dodger Stadium parking lot the night both Claire and manager Bill Russell were fired, the eerie night Claire and Don Newcombe invaded Maury Wills' house in order to save his life, and more. From Jackie R

I purchased this book after visiting the Orsay and reading very positive reviews posted on Amazon. This is a fantastic book. The Meaning of Victory is a inside look at Ty Willingham's secret to coaching success. I may understand it all now, but I won't remember it until I've used my new knowledge a few times. I am sold. The only fault in this material is that some of the ideas for the holy books/relics are somewhat convoluted or odd in their explanations. It's also not a super long book, and easy to read in a day or two. All three stories are well plotted and well written and keep you reading until the end. However, its descriptions are concerned with 'holy' relics instead of wizards' spellbooks. The physiology supporting Mudwalking is clearly explained as are its benefits.
