Anotácia knihy

One of the most influential and controversial team owners in professional sports history, Walter O'Malley (1903-79) is best remembered - and still reviled by many - for moving the Dodgers from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. Yet much of the O'Malley story leading up to the Dodgers' move is unknown or created from myth and there is substantially more to the man. When he entered the public eye, the self-constructed family background and early life he presented was gilded. Later his personal story was distorted by some New York sportswriters, who hated him for moving the Dodgers.In Mover and Shaker Andy McCue presents for the first time an objective, complete and nuanced account of O'Malley's life. He also departs from the overly sentimentalised accounts of O'Malley as either villain or angel and reveals him first and foremost as a rational, hardheaded businessman who was a major force in baseball for three decades and whose management and marketing practises radically changed the shape of the game.
