"A fine biography, impressively researched and well written. Corbett captures the full Paul Richards - a true Texan, a complicated, flawed man who was something of a baseball genius, A major figure in American baseball history, Richards is in danger of being forgotten, and he shouldn't be. Corbett's biography keeps his achievements alive for new generations of baseball fans." - Charles C. Alexander, author of Spoke: A Biography of Tris Speaker "Paul Richards taught me more baseball than any manager I ever played for. He was a leader and was my mentor on the field and in the front office. I looked up to him and believed in him and my faith was always rewarded. Corbett gives Paul his due at long last." - Eddie Robinson, four-time American League All-Star, former general manager of the Atlanta Braves and Texas Rangers "A remarkably thorough and well-researched study of a significant figure in baseball history." - Judith Testa, author of Sal Maglie: Baseball's Demon Barber "A fascinating study of one of baseball's most fascinating figures.
