Career in Baseball Operations

With my career goal being to work in a baseball operations department for a MLB team, Mr. Geivett's story and advice throughout the book has provided me with an insight to the daily operations. I have learned so much from his book, and I highly recommend his book to any aspiring baseball operations associate!
