What’s Rob Reading?

Winning in Both Leagues: Reflections from Baseball's Front Office, by J. Frank CashenWinning in Both Leagues: Reflections from Baseball’s Front Office
By J. Frank Cashen

“In Winning in Both Leagues J. Frank Cashen looks back over his twenty-five-year career in baseball. Best known as the general manager of the New York Mets during their remaking and rise to glory in the 1980s, Cashen fills the pages with lively stories from his baseball tenure during the last half of the twentieth century, including the 1960s Orioles, 1980s Mets, and the drafting of Billy Beane. Cashen was also a central figure in the fierce competition with New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner. He excelled at building winning ball clubs and remains one of only three general managers ever to win a World Series in both leagues.”
