Product Description
Bob "Bull" Watson built his career on the strength of the qualities that earned him his nickname. Hard-working. Persistent. Determined. From the beginning, there were obstacles--a difficult climb out of the minors, a host of costly injuries, and the racism that was an accepted part of American culture during those early years. In survive to win, Watson chronicles those years, from his earliest baseball memories in a Los Angeles sandlot to the Yankees' triumphant 1996 season.

ENTERTAINING LOOK AT THE 1996 YANKEES
Rating  (4)
Date: 2004-01-18
THIS IS A BOOK BY BOB WATSON FORMER MAJOR LEAGUER AND FIRST BLACK GENERAL MANAGER. HE DISCUSSES HIS LIFE AND CAREER A BIT BUT MOSTLY TELLS OF HIS EXPERIENCE, PHILOSOPHY, AND WORK ETHIC ABOUT THE GAME. I FOUND THE MOST INTERESTING PART WAS HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH A HIGHER POWER. BOB WATSON IS VERY HUMBLE AND SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD GUY. HE DOES A GOOD JOB DESCRIBING WHAT HE DOES AS A GM AND HOW THE TEAM WAS PUT TOGETHER. RECOMMENDED.
