I'm no Cardinals fan. I grew up a Cubs fan but a good friend gave me this book. What I enjoyed was the chance to get a better picture of a turning point in Cards history. It was fun to see how Herzog came in and cleaned house and shaped a pivotal period, most notably bringing in Ozzie Smith. Like any coach autobiography, it's not real illuminating or revealing. It's just intended for superfans or baseball fans.
Great baseball book.
