Description: In Mover and Shaker Andy McCue presents for the first time an objective, complete, and nuanced account of O{u2019}Malley{u2019}s life. He also departs from the overly sentimentalized accounts of O{u2019}Malley as either villain or angel and reveals him first and foremost as a rational, hardheaded businessman, who was a major force in baseball for three decades and whose management and marketing practices radically changed the shape of the game.
