The Dodgers and Me , first published in 1948, is Hall of Fame baseball player and manager Leo "The Lip" Durocher's account of his career with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Beginning with a history of the club and owner Charley Ebbets, to Durocher's arrival from St. Louis in 1938, the book details, in an often humorous manner, the rise of the cellar-dwelling Dodgers to their first pennant in 21 years. Manager Durocher goes on to detail the next five seasons of the team in this fascinating look at the Brooklyn Dodgers and major league baseball. Included are 10 pages of illustrations. Durocher, suspended for a year in a feud with Yankee owner Larry MacPhail, would return to the Dodgers in 1948 but was let go and hired by the rival New York Giants where he stayed until the end of the 1955 season. In 1966, Durocher returned to baseball as manager of the Chicago Cubs (1966-1972), and the Houston Astros (1972-73), before retiring. Durocher passed away in 1991 at the age of 86.

Seller's Description:
Fine in very good jacket. First edition (no statement as is correct). Light green cloth. 284 pp. Illustrated. Fine, bit of offsetting to the endpapers. In better than usually found original dust jacket, very good or somewhat better, minor wear to the extremities. Autobiographical account of one of baseball's most colorful figures, Leo "The Lip" Durocher, during his days with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Leo played for the Bums from 1939 to 1948, acting as player-manager during tha time. An advocate of bringing Jackie Robinson to the majors, Durocher would have been his manager had he not been suspended in spring training for the entire 1947 season for "unsavory relationships" with questionable characters.
