For the Good of the Game

For the Good of the Game is Bud Selig's insider account of his more than twenty years running Major League Baseball, a tenure defined by dragging a tradition-resistant sport into the modern era. Selig walks through the fights behind interleague play, the wild card, instant replay, and revenue sharing, while offering his fullest public reckoning yet with the steroid scandal that threatened the sport's credibility.

Part memoir and part institutional history, the book moves between locker rooms and boardrooms to show how contentious, incremental change actually gets made inside a century-old American institution.
