The Last Manager by John Miller
A concise biography of Earl Weaver, who managed the Baltimore Orioles from 1968–1982 and helped reshape modern baseball. The book describes his early use of data and tools—emphasizing on-base percentage, defense, strike-throwing, radar technology, and strategic position changes like moving Cal Ripken Jr. to shortstop—and shows how his fiery, theatrical personality and contentious relationships with umpires and players combined with tactical innovation to produce sustained team success.
