Bill Geivett, who worked in baseball operations for 28 years, penned a book with advice on how to get a job in the industry:
Geivett said the book targets not only the aspiring baseball professional, but the sports management professor who can use it to supplement coursework and the fan who is interested in the game’s inner workings. Geivett aspired to do so without the book coming off as a dry instruction manual.
“There is a great story about F.P. Santangelo getting called up to the big leagues,” Geivett said. “I’ve got stories about myself and Tommy Lasorda, a lot of stories mixed in there, so it’s not the type of book where I’m just telling you how it’s done and trying to give you a lot of details to remember.
“I’m giving you the situations where hopefully you’d think along the lines of your perspective, and you come up with the answer. I can’t come up with that for you, because the game changes all the time.”
