In "My 30 Years In Dodger Blue" Fred does not attempt to mask his hurt and disappointment, but that is far overshadowed by the insight he provides the reader into the goings-on in baseball's top management, as well as a peek into the interpersonal relationships of some of the game's biggest names.
Fred Claire started his Dodger career as a rookie publicity man and rose to become General Manager. He addresses that climb with uncommon candor, pointing out his failures as well as successes, but the bottom line is that he helped put together a team that won the World Series in 1988.
