'Fascinating and hilarious reminiscences, ranging from his locker-room wrangle with Babe Ruth to Bobby Thomson's shot heard round the world.....Durocher might be remembered as the greatest shortstop of his generation (1928-42). He could be celebrated as the manager who was t baseball what Humphrey Bogart was to movies. His wild four decade career was marked by fights with umpires and owners, marital misadventures, and a one-season suspension for consorting with known gamblers..........He recalls the flaky, competitive career that made him, for million of fans, the man they loved to hate.'
