{"product_id":"high-and-inside-lou-gorman-9780786431632","title":"High and Inside: My Life in the Front Offices of Baseball","description":"\u003cp\u003e Lou Gorman is best known for having assembled the great but star-crossed Red Sox team of 1986. Few, perhaps, know that he also laid the foundation for the Mets club that clawed past them. Or that he is the only baseball executive involved in the start-up of two teams (the expansion Mariners and Royals), that he won a World Series with the Orioles, or that he has drafted Roger Clemens, signed George Brett, developed Jim Palmer, and traded away Jeff Bagwell. In all, Gorman has spent parts of five decades in the front offices of five major league franchises, directly involved in the development of clubs that won three World Series, five pennants and eight division titles. The stories behind those teams and Gorman's dealings with players, managers, and other of baseball's higher-ups are shared here for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lou Gorman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786431636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786431632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.08h x 6.91w x 0.63d","brand":"Lou Gorman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44169671344383,"sku":"9780786431632","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b24d439f-e92f-4faf-a63e-294456256c73.jpg?v=1689654254","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/high-and-inside-lou-gorman-9780786431632","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
