I believe in rules. Sure I do. If there weren't any rules, how could you break them?The history of baseball is rife with colorful characters. But for sheer cantankerousness, fighting moxie, and will to win, very few have come close to Leo the Lip Durocher. Following a fivedecade career as a player and manager for baseballs most storied franchises, Durocher teamed up with veteran sportswriter Ed Linn to tell the story of his life in the game. The resulting book, Nice Guys Finish Last, is baseball at its best, brimming with personality and full of all the fights and feuds, triumphs and tricks that made Durocher such a successand an outsized celebrity.Durocher began his career inauspiciously, riding the bench for the powerhouse 1928 Yankees and hitting so poorly that Babe Ruth nicknamed him the AllAmerican Out. But soon Durocher hit his stride: traded to St. Louis, he found his headlong play and neversaydie attitude a perfect fit with the rambunctious Gashouse Gang Cardinals. In 1939, he was named playermanager of the Brooklyn Dodgersand almost instantly transformed the underachieving Bums into perennial contenders. He went on to manage the New York Giants, sharing the glory of one of the most famous moments in baseball history, Bobby Thomsons shot heard round the world, which won the Giants the 1951 pennant. Durocher would later learn how it felt to be on the other side of such an unforgettable moment, as his 1969 Cubs, after holding first place for 105 days, blew a seemingly insurmountable 81/2game lead to the Miracle Mets.All the while, Durocher made as much noise off the field as on it. His perpetual feuds with players, owners, and league officialsnot to mention his public associations with gamblers, riffraff, and Hollywood stars like George Raft and Larraine Daykept his name in the headlines and spread his fame far beyond the confines of the diamond.A noholdsbarred account of a singular figure, Nice Guys Finish Last brings the personalities and playbyplay of baseballs greatest era to vivid life, earning a place on every baseball fans bookshelf.
