Safe by a Mile
Metro was just a journeyman player who, after coming up for a  cup of coffee, had a long career as a scout, teacher, and  sometime manager. He will never make the Hall of Fame, and yet  his insights into the game of baseball are valuable. This thick  book is especially strong on minor league baseball during the  last half-century, as the peripatetic Metro seems to have  visited every small town ballpark imaginable and come away with  a tale to tell.
