Book Reviews of Feeding the Monster: How Money, Smarts, and Nerve Took a Team to the Top
Book Review: A must-read for all true baseball fans
Summary: 4 Stars
First, a confession. Although I was born a third-generation Yankee fan, I switched my allegiance permanently when I moved to Boston in 1975 and have been a diehard member of Red Sox Nation ever since. So of course I loved this book. If you're a Red Sox fan, you will too. But it's a must-read for every baseball fan, I think, because it takes readers inside the modern game with all of its complexities -- from superstar athletes, arrogant owners, and impossible fans to team-owned TV networks, arcane union rules and the playoffs-or-bust mentality -- and offers a case study of how new owners with deep pockets and fresh ideas can make big changes happen fast.
