"A delightful look at all the little things that make major league
baseball a subtle spectacle." --Seattle Times
In his classic tribute to America's pastime, political commentator,
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, and lifelong sports enthusiast George
F. Will travels from the baseball field to the dugout to the locker room
to get to the root of the game we all love. He breaks down the sport to
its four basic components, managing, pitching, hitting, and fielding,
and analyzes the way four of its notables, manager Tony La Russa,
pitcher Orel Hershiser, outfielder Tony Gwynn, and shortstop Cal Ripken
Jr., approach the game. One of the most acclaimed sports books ever
written, Men at Work is a revelatory, and often surprising, study of
professional baseball.
