#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“George Will on baseball. Perfect….A book of surpassing enthusiasm and intelligence.”
—Los Angeles Times
Now with a new introduction, George F. Will’s classic bestseller, Men at Work, is back. The renowned author, political pundit, and diehard sports enthusiast discourses on the Great American Pastime in a work that stands with The Boys of Summer, Summer of ’49, All My Octobers, and The Glory of Their Times as one of the finest baseball books ever written. The New York Times Book Review calls it, “an excellent book about excellence,” while the St. Louis Post-Dispatch promises that, “anyone who truly loves the game…will find Men At Work thoroughly rewarding.” No doubt about it, George F. Will has hit a grand slam home run!

Reviews
In this book for the hard-core baseball fan, Will persuades such notables as Tony La Russa, Orel Hershiser and Tony Gwynn to offer details on the finer points of the game. "The author tends to retell well-known baseball history a little too often," said PW. "But as a sports journalist, he shows himself to be a master at enticing players into particularly enlightening discussions."
