* New Tony LaRussa bio on the way

November 11, 2008

From Triumph Books. I guess Three Nights in August doesn’t qualify as an actual biography:

Two-time World Series champion Tony La Russa has been one of the most important figures in baseball for the past 30 years, but he has never been the subject of a biography before.

Tony La Russa: Man on a Mission by Rob Rains will be the first biography to examine the exceptional manager’s life and career that has spanned 30 years in Major League Baseball. Rains spent exhaustive time researching La Russa’s past, interviewing all key figures in La Russa’s life, particularly the current and former players, coaches, managers and executives who know La Russa so well.

In 1979, La Russa took over the Chicago White Sox. Since then he’s become known as one of the smartest men in baseball. Learn how and why the Cardinals’ skipper became so popular—and despised—in Tony La Russa: Man on a Mission which will be available in stores everywhere in March 2009.
