Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Printing [Stated]. 448 pages. Illustrations. Index. Previous owners stamp on fep. Leo Ernest Durocher (July 27, 1905 - October 7, 1991), nicknamed Leo the Lip and Lippy, was an American professional baseball player, manager and coach. He played in Major League Baseball as an infielder. Upon his retirement, he ranked fifth all-time among managers with 2,008 career victories, second only to John McGraw in National League history. Durocher still ranks tenth in career wins by a manager. A controversial and outspoken character, Durocher had a stormy career dogged by clashes with authority, the baseball commissioner, the press, and umpires; his 95 career ejections as a manager trailed only McGraw when he retired, and still rank fourth on the all-time list. Durocher was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994. After the 1938 season he was appointed player-manager by the Dodgers' new president and general manager, Larry MacPhail. Derived from a Kirkus review: A slugging biography of the author's nearly fifty years in baseball, highlighted by reminiscences as rousing as the utterances of Leo the Lip himself. Durocher broke in as a shortstop with the 1925 Yankees. Besides being a swinger in this pool-hustling, nightclub-hopping era, he rounded out his baseball education by studying the moves of manager Miller Huggins. A natural with St. Louis' raggedy Gas House Gang a few years later, Leo went on to manage the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Giants, his philosophy being: "win any way you can." Although suspended for associating with gamblers, Durocher bounced back to coach and manage--his last seasons as skipper were spent with the Cubs and Astros. There are anecdotes galore of the Babe, Rickey, MacPhail, Jackie Robinson, Dusty Rhodes, favorite "son" Willie Mays. . . not to mention Cletus Elwood ("Boots") Poffenberger. Spunky, beefing-with-the-umpire days you'll want to read and remember--Leo is "a guy who has to do it his way" and always did.…
