内容紹介
The most storied rivalry in baseball is the Yankees and the Red Sox, despite what often seems like an annual exercise in disappointment in New England. Despite having a comparatively brief and less operatic history of losing to the Bronx Bombers than do the Sox, the Blue Jays were once the team to beat in the American League East. Now Boston and Toronto are again gunning for the top, led by a pair of young general managers. Theo Epstein of the Red Sox and J. P. Ricciardi of the Blue Jays represent a new generation of general managers, weaned on two decades of baseball analysis that started with the groundbreaking work of Bill James and Pete Palmer. Without the Yankees financial advantages, both Epstein and Ricciardi contend by carefully building their organizations and their big-league squads with a blend of financial good sense, scouting know-how, and the kind of analysis that helped them reach their positions in the game today. Indeed, both GMs now have such people as Bill James and Keith Law (formerly of the "Baseball Prospectus") to help them crunch numbers and take their best shots at beating the Yankees.
レビュー
"If the inside game of baseball fascinates you, then "Chasing Steinbrenner" is a book you'll likely enjoy."

Every Baseball Fan Should Read This Book
2004/9/1

形式:ハードカバー
I just finished this book and thought it was terrific. I would buy this book just for the chapter on Jose Contreras. Bradford goes into great detail about how Theo Epstein and the Sox tried to sign him, only to lose him to the hated Yankees. That chapter reads like a novel, with turns and twists that leave you wanting more.
The book focuses on two GM's, Epstein and the Blue Jays J.P. Ricciardi. Both are fully realized characters, and we really get to know both of them as they chase the Yankees but in different ways. Epstein deals with an impatient Red Sox Nation, while Ricciardi rebuilds his farm system as an apathetic Toronto yearns for the Glory Days of the early 90's.
The little stories are what makes this book a keeper. Ricciardi being sabotaged by his own scouts, Epstein driving across the country, Theo's first day on the job.
An impressive debut book. A fun read.

Excellent

形式:ハードカバー
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. When I bought the book I expected to read stories of behind the door wheeling and dealing, and wasn't disappointed. The part I enjoyed the most was reading about the "real" lives of these people. Bradford does an excellent job portraying the professional and personal sides of these individuals. The whole section on Jose Contreras was intruiging. I highly recomend it.

Biased Red Sox Fan

Moneyball was a great read for me as a diehard baseball fan. Unfortunately it had little or nothing to do with the Red Sox. Luckily, now there is Chasing Steinbrenner. The half of the book that deals with the behind the scenes operations of the Toronto Blue Jays is to be forgiven since it is also interesting.
Among the unforegtable stories is when Toronto GM JP Ricciardi gets a phone call from the local Worcester newspaper (JP is a Worcester native). Turns out the reporter was dying for a story about the high school basketball team that Ricciardi was several years removed from being the coach of. The exclusive with the local MLB GM would have been a bigger story, but the reporter is disappointed.
This book is a must read for those with any curiosity about what goes on upstairs at Fenway with the Sox brass.
