Book Synopsis
During his time as manager of the Detroit Tigers from 1949 to 1951, Red Rolfe recorded daily accounts of each game, including observations about his team's performance, strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies of opposing players and managers. His journals offer an opportunity to find out what a manager is thinking when no one is around to hear.

Trade Review
