Three Nights in August

by Buzz Bissinger

Description

Over the course of a pivotal three-game series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs, this intimate work reveals the strategy, psychology, and emotion hidden beneath every pitch and decision. With unprecedented access to Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and his team, it explores how lineups are shaped, risks are weighed, and athletes are guided through the relentless pressures of a major-league season. Combining meticulous reporting with vivid storytelling, the book examines leadership, competition, teamwork, and the elusive human elements that statistics alone cannot capture. It offers both a compelling portrait of professional baseball and a revealing study of the art of management.
