What’s Rob Reading?

My 9 Innings: An Autobiography of 50 Years in Baseball, by Lee MacPhailMy 9 Innings: An Autobiography of 50 Years in Baseball
By Lee MacPhail

The son of a brilliant but combative Hall of Fame baseball executive, Lee MacPhail inherited his father’s intelligence and a love of baseball, but a wholly different personality. While Larry had a short and somewhat mercurial baseball career colored by both triumph and controversy, his son Lee spent nearly five decades in baseball and earned the respect and admiration of nearly everyone he met. Despite their vastly different styles, in 1998 Lee MacPhail became the only son of a Hall of Famer to earn that honor himself, having surpassed his father’s accomplishments in the game.
