The jacket flap claims that "Torre's invaluable insight will provide readers with the tools they need to develop a winning outlook, and to get the most out of themselves and their colleagues, whether in sports, business, or life. As a player, Torre earned nine All Stars selections and was voted NL MVP in 1971. His greatest success as a manager came with the Yankees, helping the team win four World Series titles (1996, 1998-2000). Torre is the only individual in baseball history with at least 2,000 hits as a player and 2,000 wins as a manager. . Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Dust Jacket Included.

Description
New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Co, 1926. Hardcover. xv, 427p., plates and maps as called for, a hardbound first edition (first, per Zempel & Verkler) in remarkably good condition, just two quarter-inch droplet stains to the otherwise blank back cover. Blue cloth boards titled and figured in black and yellow, picture-images on cover and spine, Fraser's maps are well-drawn and the illustrating photographs seem uncommon; plates like all leaves here are in fine shape, endsheets are clean, sound and unmarked, book itself square and tight. Flaws: beyond the droplet stains mentioned above, corner-tips fractionally turned, top and tail rims a little crimped, spine panel faintly greyed with handling, still a very good, pleasing copy. Not by an aficionado of flight; author's menu shows her to be strictly a popularizer, if a good one. She did homework for this her latest effort, obtaining uncommon photos and inside stories. But her earliest books were "The Practical Book of Home Repairs" and "The Young Citizen's Own Book"; and the late ones stuff like "Heroes of the Wilds" and "Heroes of the Sea
