Inside Stuff
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
There has been a geat deal written about Leo Durocher, but this book offers a tighter insight into who he really was than anything so far. It also gives the reader a flavor of the era, you can feel the energy and drum-beat of the 60s throughout. More than being a trip down baseball's memory lane, it provides solid answers and clear explanations as to why this very famous team performed (and didn't perform) the way it did.Well-researched and well-written, it provides insight from the inside.

i loved this book...partially because of its balance. on the one hand iy gives you the feel of the 60's and puts you into the cubs soap opera. on the other it provides hard info on why this team didn't get it done. so few books are balanced that way.

Leo Durocher is one of baseball's all time personalities, and this book did a great job of offering insights in to the life and times fo the man and his ballclub. Hopefully we'll get some more from Mr. Clarebaut on the great characters from baseball's past & present.

This is really an excellent book. It captures all the excitement of the period and provides real answers to why this team came up short. It's terrific.
With all that MAGIC and PASSION, why didn't they win?

DUROCHER'S CUBS is dynamite! It captures and actually recreates all the excitement and passion of those magical years for baseball fans, and still provides fresh and solid answers as to why this great team of half a decade fell short. The insights into Leo's personality were amazing. Thank you David Claerbaut!
