-Titulo Original : The Game Inside The Secret World Of Major League Baseballs Power Brokers
-Fabricante :
Back Bay Books
-Descripcion Original:
The incredible inside story of power, money, and baseballs last twenty years. In the fall of 1992, Americas National Pastime is in crisis and already on the path to the unthinkable: cancelling a World Series for the first time in history. The owners are at war with each other, their decades-long battle with the players has turned America against both sides, and the players growing addiction to steroids will threaten the games very foundation. It is a tipping point for baseball, a crucial moment in the games history that catalyzes a struggle for power by three strong-willed men: Commissioner Bud Selig, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, and union leader Don Fehr. Its their uneasy alliance at the end of decades of struggle that pulls the game back from the brink and turns it into a money-making powerhouse that enriches them all. This is the real story of baseball, played out against a tableau of stunning athletic feats, high-stakes public battles, and backroom political deals -- with a supporting cast that includes Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire, Joe Torre and Derek Jeter, George Bush and George Mitchell, and many more. Drawing from hundreds of extensive, exclusive interviews throughout baseball, The Game is a stunning achievement: a rigorously reported book and the must-read, fly-on-the-wall, definitive account of how an enormous struggle for power turns disaster into baseballs Golden Age. Review Finalist for the 2015 CASEY Award for Best Baseball Book of the Year A compelling, high-stakes look at baseball.... Pessah does a great job of providing glimpses of conversations fans were not privy to, while placing them in context by describing what was happening on the field in that moment. Essential for fans of 1990s- and 2000s-era baseball. Library Journal (starred review) The action is in the boardroom, not the ballpark, in this dramatic account of the business side of baseball.... Pessah includes engaging play-by-play from key games, but his focus is on contract negotiations, revenue models, politics, deal-cutting, and the commercial calculations behind moving a team or injecting steroids. The resulting account of off-field strategizing is as engrossing as any stadium showdown. Publishers Weekly (starred review) Engaging, nitty-gritty account of the Bud Selig era, including backroom battles with George Steinbrenner, Don Fehr and steroids. Sports Illustrated Pessah has made his book read like a great novel.... The author also brilliantly shows the impact the game had and continues to have on American life, and how it maintains its prominent place in the cycle and fabric of our countrys summers. Pessah is adept at revealing the ebb and flow of fan despair, anger, and joy. Russell P. Gantos Jr., New York Journal of Books In clear, accessible prose, [THE GAME] covers strikes, steroids and everything in between. Not an easy task. The most memorable sections are about Steinbrenner. Pessah deftly captures the mans heavy-handed--and often underhanded--leadership. Michael S. Schmidt, New York Times One of The Seasons Best Baseball Books A poignant account of the power struggle between three men: MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, and players union leader Don Fehr. Robert Birnbaum, The Daily Beast This might be the definitive account of how front offices control Major League Baseball.... Pessah crafts freeze-frame descriptions of the most critical backroom moments of the modern era.... Rob Fischer, Mens Journal There are lots of fresh notes, quotes and anecdotes in The Game, but its chief value for those who care is its meticulous reconstruction of the fraught era.... The most compelling parts of The Game deal with baseballs abject failure to confront the steroid plague. Edward Kosner, Wall Street Journal A gritty and sensational history of Americas national pastime... a juicy and engrossing story that reads like a
