SKIPPER Why Baseball Managers Matter and Always Will

by | Read by Bob Souer

Contemporary Culture • 12 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2025

This audiobook dives into the details of managing a baseball team, examining not only some managers of a couple of generations ago, but also today's skippers. Miller's discussion of the evolution of the game is all about analytics, and narrator Bob Souer drives home that point with his clear, slightly deep voice. He meets the topic head-on--like a fastball whizzing toward the plate. The discussion focuses on psychology and adaptation, and the anecdotes are well told. Thankfully, Souer doesn't imitate any of the managers or players quoted. Instead, he plainly delivers a fine performance of an interesting microcosm of baseball.
