Praise for Winners"We're all winners, as Dayn Perry serves as our
trusted guide on this idiosyncratic but profoundly informative
walking tour of the great teams and players of the last few
decades."
-Rob Neyer, ESPN.com "Dayn Perry's really got something here. Part
history, part handbook, Winners is an essential read for anyone
trying to understand how great teams get that way."
--Joe Sheehan, BaseballProspetus.com"We look at baseball from so
many angles today that we too often forget the point is not to look
at the game from an interesting view for its own sake, but to learn
how it works, in the service of learning why teams win. Any fan who
wants to know will find their answers in this book."
--Tim Marchman, baseball columnist, The New York Sun"Dayn Perry
crafts a lively narrative that blends astute analysis with clever
storytelling. He gets to the bottom of what makes a great team
tick."
--Kevin Towers, General Manager and Executive Vice President, San
Diego Padres
