O knihe
In 1947, after 18 major league seasons with the Browns, Senators, and Red Sox, Rick Ferrell retired as baseball's all-time leader in games caught. His record 1,806 games would stand for more than 40 years, surpassed finally by another Hall of Famer, Carlton Fisk. A stout defender and choosy batter, Ferrell was an eight-time All-Star who had the bad luck of never playing for a team that went to the postseason. Perhaps that's one of the reasons he went on to work in baseball for another 48 years, serving as coach, scout, front-office executive, general manager and assistant general manager, the role in which Ferrell at last found his way to the World Series (with the Tigers in 1968). This biography includes highlights of Ferrell's career, confidential letters written as Detroit's general manager, 15 interviews with Ferrell's friends and peers, as well as thirty-four photographs, some never before published.
