One Last Strike: Fifty Years in Baseball, Ten and a Half Games Back, and One Final Championship Season
by
"Tony La Russa, in my opinion, is the best manager baseball ever had. He took teams that weren't even supposed to make the playoffs to the World Series. This book mentions his final year with the Cardinals in which he beat the Texas Rangers."
