A memoir from one of the most beloved and colorful figures in Toronto Blue Jays history.
John Gibbons shares his story from being raised in a military family to serving as the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays for over 11 years in two separate stints. Gibbons led the Jays to the American League Championship Series in 2015, ending a 22-year playoff drought. The team did it again in 2016. Through his memoir, Gibbons reflects on an on-field career that didn't pan out, but a managing career that did.
