Description
Taking baseball fans behind the microphone, into locker rooms, and through the most memorable season in Texas Rangers history, this firsthand account from announcer Josh Lewin is both insightful and entertaining. Recounting the Rangers'' struggles during their pivotal 2010 season-when the Rangers team was up for sale, drugs and alcohol threatened the team''s biggest star and their manager, and reaching the Fall Classic for the first time-Lewin''s bird''s-eye view of Rangers baseball reveals an intimate and surprising portrait of a team that went from league joke to a serious contender in the World Series. Witty and original, Josh Lewin provides an engaging but balanced account of one of baseball''s elite franchises.
