One Last Strike: Fifty Years in Baseball, Ten and a Half Games Back, and One Final Championship Season Paperback - 2013
by Tony La Russa
La Russa, the winner of four Manager of the Year awards--who led his teams to six Pennant wins and three World Series crowns--chronicles one of the most exciting end-of-season runs in baseball history. He reveals with fascinating behind-the-scenes details how, under his expert management, the St. Louis Cardinals emerged victorious in the 2011 World Series.
From the rear cover
After thirty-three seasons managing in Major League Baseball, Tony La Russa thought he had seen it all--until the 2011 Cardinals. Down ten and a half games with little more than a month to play, the Cardinals had long been ruled out as serious postseason contenders. Yet in the face of those steep odds, this team mounted one of the most dramatic and impressive comebacks in baseball history, making the playoffs on the night of the final game of the season and going on to win the World Series despite being down to their last strike--twice.
Now La Russa gives the inside story behind this astonishing comeback and his extraordinary career. One Last Strike is a passionate, insightful look at our national pastime that takes you behind the scenes of the comeback no one thought possible and inside the mind of one of the game's greatest managers.
