Harvey Dorfman rose from a childhood sickbed to his place of world renown in the field of sport psychology. A goalie on a national co-champion college soccer team, the coach of a high school basketball team that won a state championship, and the recipient of four World Series rings (three with Oakland, one with Florida), he here presents his final anecdotal recollections, including those from fourteen years spent in the dugouts of three major league teams. This third and last volume of a trilogy closes in 2010.Cover Photo by Bill Gozansky —- billgozansky.com/contact.asp
