Críticas
"Dierker's prose is witty and easy-reading."-"Publishers Weekly"
"ÝDierker¨ has a healthy perspective about the game and his role in it, as reflected in the title of this literate, humorous, and entertaining memoir. As he recounts his tenure as manager, he splices in anecdotes from his playing days, effectively contrasting the life of the ballplayer in both eras."-"Booklist"
"ÝLarry Dierker¨ came to be known as one of the brightest and most engaging minds in baseball . . . and his book shows why. It's an unvarnished insider's view of what goes on within the game at many levels and a refreshingly honest exercise in self-discovery. . . . Dierker's observations remain as fresh and as stimulating as they were when the book was first published in 2001." -- Dan McGrath "Chiago Tribune"
"A breezy collection of anecdotes and insights, carefully crafted and presented with a mixture of humor and thoughtfulness."
"Needless to say, a book entitled "This Ain't Brain Surgery" makes no pretence to scholarly profundity, but it is a witty, breezy, intelligent account of baseball as experienced by Larry Dierker." -- William M. Simons, "Journal of Sports History"
"It's a book that. . . has reenforced everything I love and have always loved about baseball. Above all else, baseball is a game that inspires wonder and Dierker -- former player, broadcaster, and manager for the Houston Astros--Illuminates that nicely."
" Dierker''s prose is witty and easy-reading. " -- Publishers Weekly
" A breezy collection of anecdotes and insights, carefully crafted and presented with a mixture of humor and thoughtfulness. " -- Richard Justice, Houston Chronicle
" There ' s a richness to the language in This Ain ' t Brain Surgery that isn ' t typically found in a book with an ex-player ' s (or ex-manager ' s) name on the cover. " -- Rob Neyer, ESPN.com

Reseña del editor
In a passionate, heartfelt autobiography, the humorous, honest, and well versed baseball icon candidly exposes his small beginnings, triumphant successes, initiation into the world of management, and how he remains "real" throughout the decades of the game.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Plenty of people were surprised when Larry Dierker was named the manager of the Houston Astros at the end of the 1996 season, but perhaps no one was more surprised than Larry Dierker. Despite his status as a fourteen-year ace starter in the big leagues (t Witty, forthright, and wonderfully well-read, Dierker was that rare manager who knew how to work hard and have a good time doing it. Dierker shares his singular take on the daunting task of trying to manage 25 men with agents, cell phones, and titanic egos. This item is printed on demand.
