One of the best managers in the early years of professional baseball, Frank Selee (1859-1909) built two great teams. The Boston Beaneaters of the 1890s won five National League pennants during his tenure. The Chicago Cubs won four National League pennants and two World Series immediately after his period as manager--mostly with players he assembled.

This biography tells the story of one of baseball's notable nice guys, who honed his craft to succeed in a ruthlessly competitive business.
