5 out of 5 stars great book   August 7, 2007
I will never see Tony the same again. It is so well written that I never got bored reading it and I cannot say that for all sports related books I have read.


5 out of 5 stars A Great Baseball Book   May 7, 2007
This is one of the best baseball books out there. Bissinger takes the reader to many levels of the game, and gives a lot of insite to Tony LaRussa as a manager and tactician. I strongly recommend this book for any baseball fan. It is a really great read.


3 out of 5 stars A basic book on baseball   April 13, 2007
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

A well written book that provided some insight into the game, particularly the thought process of a manager. For that I give it three stars.

But '3 Nights' was neither as enlightening nor thought provoking as a 5-star sports book - such as 'The Game' by Ken Dryden, 'Beyond the Sixth Game' by Gammons, or Lewis' 'Moneyball'. At times, Bissigner's work came across more as a hero worship of La Russa than a study of the game, which detracted from the author's credibility to accurately assess what he witnessed and learned from the dugout.



5 out of 5 stars Into the Mind of Tony LaRussa   April 10, 2007

This book provides an in-depth look at a critical three-game series between the St. Louis Cardinals and their archrivals, the Chicago Cubs.


5 out of 5 stars Great Book for any Cardinals Fan   January 21, 2007

Buzz Bissinger is an absolutly fantastic writer. This book combines an indepth behind the scenes look at Larussa and others, but also gives a lot of inside info on players like JD Drew, Pujols, and others. I love hearing about the managerial strategy, what happens after the game, in the club house etc. I'm not a big reader, but once I started this book, I couldn't put it down.
