"... Famous Double-Play Members Joe Tinker And Johnny Evers Didn't Talk To Each Other For 33-Years."

"Apparently Tinker claimed a taxi for himself, leaving Evers on the sidewalk... They went into the Hall of Fame together. Pretending to get along is one of the most useful lessons sports can give us." Joan Ryan, "Intangibles."

This is a classic example of "task-based chemistry." Just part of this fascinating new book on team chemistry -- as applicable to you and your co-workers as to next year's World Champions. There's plenty written about Big Data baseball, here's the often ignored flipside. Plus a number of behind-the-scenes stories I hadn't heard about the SF Giants and Warriors. Joan Ryan: smart lady and talented writer. I highly recommend this book.
