In this book, the legendary manager opens up for the first time about his eight years there, as they went from cursed franchise to one of the most successful and profitable in baseball history. He takes readers inside the rarefied world of a 21st-century clubhouse, from 2004 when they won their first championship in 86 years, through another win in 2007, to the controversial September collapse just four years later. He recounts the tightrope walk of managing personalities like Pedro Martinez and Manny Ramirez, working with Theo Epstein and his statistics-driven executives, balancing their data with the emotions of a 25-man roster, and meeting the expectations of three owners with often wildly differing opinions. Along the way readers are treated with back-slapping, never-before-told stories about their favorite players, moments, losses, and wins. 600 10 $a Francona, Terry, $d 1959- 610 20 $a Boston Red Sox (Baseball team) 650 $a Audio cds 650 $a Leased audio cds 650 0 $a Baseball managers $z United States $v Biography 700 1 $a Shaughnessy, Dan. 941 $a 1 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20150404014314.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9284EEDADA9011E4BEC786A7DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
