Item description from seller

[xi] 295 [5] pages. Bibliography. Chasing Steinbrenner: A chronicle by sportswriter Rob Bradford of the efforts of Boston Red Sox GM Theo Epstein and Toronto Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi to build competitive teams against the New York Yankees' financial dominance, focusing on their use of financial sense, scouting, and statistical analysis (sabermetrics) in the early 2000s. The book explores the rivalry in the American League East and the new generation of GMs challenging the Yankees. Rob Bradford has covered the Boston Red Sox for more than twenty years, covering Major League Baseball for the Lowell Sun, Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, Boston Herald, and WEEI. He has written two books: Chasing Steinbrenner: Pursuing the Pennant in Boston and Toronto and Deep Drive: A Long Journey to Finding the Champion Within,the best-selling autobiography of World Series MVP Mike Lowell. 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. First U.S. Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
