Obviously, if you happen to be any kind of baseball fan, specifically a Cardinal fan, you'll likely stop at nothing to read the musings of one of the most enigmatic and admired managers in the history of the game. We here at the RFT certainly didn't stop at anything; we had to bribe several dock workers, three UPS drivers, and one literary agent's housekeeper, mostly with a variety of sexual favors (we're all super sore), but we managed to get our grubby (not to mention sticky; see above), little hands on a copy of this masterpiece. And what we found inside was surprising.
Here are the ten biggest, most surprising of the surprises we were surprised by:
10.) Dusty Baker is told to, quote, 'suck it' no less than 74 times. Three chapters are also entitled, "Why Dusty Baker Can Suck It." It's mentioned as the working title, too.
9.) The mullet from his early days in St. Louis was actually grown when he was still hoping to get his first choice job: roadie for Foreigner. (Cardinal manager was number two.)
8.) In order to get the full experience of being inside La Russa's mind, a pair of nighttime sunglasses is included with the book. The glasses also cause temporary paranoid delusions, making the wearer believe they need something called nighttime sunglasses.
