Book Description
Joe Carrieri was the New York Yankees batboy from 1949-55, an extraordinary time in baseball history. During this era, Casey Stengel began his legendary career as Yankee manager (1949). Joe DiMaggio ended & Mickey Mantle began their major league careers (1951), & the New York Yankees established an unprecedented, still unsurpassed record of five consecutive World Series victories (1949-1953). In this wonderfully evocative book, capturing the color, flavor, & feel of a simpler time, Joe Carrieri offers a unique look at the era's greatest players. Only thirteen when he started with the Yankees, Mr. Carrieri was a sophomore in college when he turned in his pinstripes. His years with the Yankees were also the formative years of his life - the time when a boy becomes a man. From the baseball heroes of his youth, Carrieri began a quest to define the meaning of greatness & the measure of personal success as he saw it reflected in the lives, exploits, & words of the games's best players, coaches, & managers. In SEARCHING FOR HEROES, Joe Carrieri incorporates the lessons of his youth into a philosophy that lasts a lifetime & rediscovers something essential about the American pastime...that in our baseball heroes we find the best of ourselves & gather a glimpse of what we might be.

Book Description
Michael Lewis’s instant classic may be “the most influential book on sports ever written” (People), but “you need know absolutely nothing about baseball to appreciate the wit, snap, economy and incisiveness of [Lewis’s] thoughts about it” (Janet Maslin, New York Times). One of GQ's 50 Best Books of Literary Journalism of the 21st Century Just before the 2002 season opens, the Oakland Athletics must relinquish its three most prominent (and expensive) players and is written off by just about everyone—but then comes roaring back to challenge the American League record for consecutive wins. How did one of the poorest teams in baseball win so many games? In a quest to discover the answer, Michael Lewis delivers not only “the single most influential baseball book ever” (Rob Neyer, Slate) but also what “may be the best book ever written on business” (Weekly Standard). Lewis first looks to all the logical places—the front offices of major league teams, the coaches, the minds of brilliant players—but discovers the real jackpot is a cache of numbers?numbers!?collected over the years by a strange brotherhood of amateur baseball enthusiasts: software engineers, statisticians, Wall Street analysts, lawyers, and physics professors. What these numbers prove is that the traditional yardsticks of success for players and teams are fatally flawed. Even the box score misleads us by ignoring the crucial importance of the humble base-on-balls. This information had been around for years, and nobody inside Major League Baseball paid it any mind. And then came Billy Beane, general manager of the Oakland Athletics. He paid attention to those numbers?with the second-lowest payroll in baseball at his disposal he had to?to conduct an astonishing experiment in finding and fielding a team that nobody else wanted. In a narrative full of fabulous characters and brilliant excursions into the unexpected, Michael Lewis shows us how and why the new baseball knowledge works. He also sets up a sly and hilarious morality tale: Big Money, like Goliath, is always supposed to win . . . how can we not cheer for David?
