Synopsis

What is the difference between a promoter and a hustler? Bill Veeck asks. Well, lets look at it this way. Neither one of them is an advertiser. An advertiser pays for his space. A promoter works out a quid pro quo . A hustler gets a free ride and makes it seem as if hes doing you a favor. Keep this in mind as Veeck, one of baseballs all–time characters and certainly its best–ever hustler, draws on an apparently bottomless well of stories, anecdotes, theories, and attitudes involving the often bizarre world of major league baseball. And, of course, hes never afraid to speak his mind.

The Hustlers Handbook is a rich, hilarious, flagrantly outspoken lesson on how to operate as a hustler in the corporate jungle of modern baseball.
