Schuerholz in Print

This time it's John S. writing a book about his forty year career in baseball front offices. While this book will inevitably be billed as the anti-Moneyeball book of the new Millenium, Schuerholz says that it's not the focus of the book. Instead, he says that the book is more about the inner-workings of the general manager job in baseball.

Schuerholz is easily the best currently active candidate for enshrinement in the Hall of Fame as a general manager. The most recently serving general manager who is in the Hall of Fame is Lee McPhail Jr. who served as the Yankee GM through the 1973 season. Since 1974 no other general manager who's worked in baseball has found their way into the Hall.

Schuerholz's stellar record first in Kansas City and then Atlanta (not to mention his Oriole beginnings in the late 60's) are certainly Hall of Fame worthy.
