In A Baseball Life, Red Schoendiest details all of the events that shaped his life, on and off the field, as he moved from the playing field to the managers office to his currant position as a special assistant to the general man- ager of the St. Louis Cardinals. Schoendiest played, coached and managed in nine World Series. He played 10 All-Star games and managed the National League squad in two. In 1989 he was inducted into baseballs Hall of Fame.
Great book. Taught me a lot about how baseball has changed over a period of about 50 years. Also gave me a feel for what it is really like to be a major league manager and how that has also changed over the years. And how there are many connections between players, managers, GMs, and owners between teams. Red Schoendienst has a love for baseball and it is obvious in this book.
