Thorne "The 10 Commandments of Baseball is a mix of professional baseball stories and the author's affectionate retelling of his own amateur baseball experiences. The book takes us back to great baseball moments that help us recall our own past victories, defeats, and laughs. Legendary manager, Joe McCarthy, penned the 10 Commandments of Baseball, way back in 1921. He managed his teams by these principles and was more successful than anyone before or after him. McCarthy earned the highest winning percentage of any major league manager ever. Over a span of 24 years, he directed the Chicago Cubs, the New York Yankees, and the Boston Red Sox. He was the first manager to win a pennant in both the National and the American Leagues. Winning seven World Series Championships; McCarthy had one of the most remarkable careers in all of sport. J. D. Thorne discovered McCarthy's Command- ments printed on an old keepsake card that was among his father's treasured belongings. Inspired by the underlying messages conveyed in the document, the author created a "10 Commandments" presentation that he made to the Positive Attitude Development class at the Federal Prison Camp in Duluth, Minnesota. The prisoners' enthusiasm gave witness to the power of the Commandments. Impressed by the common sense wisdom of the principles, J. D. Thorne composed this book."
