About this listen
Longtime baseball writer Scott Miller returns to the show to discuss his new book, “Skipper: Why Baseball Managers Matter and Always Will.” Miller’s book is a deep dive into the ongoing struggle for control that often takes place behind the scenes between Major League Baseball managers and the ownership groups, and now, their data analysts. Through stories about managers past and present, Miller explains what managers used to be and what they are in today’s baseball.
Scott Miller is an award-winning veteran national MLB writer who has been a contributor to the New York Times, the national baseball columnist at Bleacher Report and CBSSports.com, and covered baseball extensively for the Los Angeles Times and St. Paul Pioneer Press before that. He has been honored several times as one of the top baseball writers in the nation by the Associated Press Sports Editors.
Managers mentioned in this episode include but are not limited to Sparky Anderson, Dave Roberts, Lou Piniella, Jim Leyland, Dusty Baker, Earl Weaver, Bruce Bochy, Aaron Boone, Ned Yost, Bud Black, and countless others.
