 Dugout Wisdom November 3, 2008
Barry Suttle
Dugout Wisdom is a nice little book filled with inspirational stories and insights into the backgrounds of baseball players, managers, and executives. A very positive aspect of this book is that proceeds go to help scouts. On the postive side, it is a good book to use as a time killer, when you just have a moment or two because each "chapter" is only 1 or 2 pages. It is convenient that way. There are also some truly inspiring stories of how these baseball lifers' lives were changed by an incident or person. Each chapter ends with the name of the scout who signed the player. I thought that was a neat touch. br / On the negative side, the stories mostly seem a little shallow, almost as if it were written for a 5th grader. As a matter of fact, I would recommend it for a younger reader, to be sure. Overall, the book is a pleasant read with a positive message. But ultimately, I was slightly disappointed. The stories left me wanting more details. The stories would have been so much more effective if they had taken the time to go into more depth.
Dugout Wisdom isn't about successful Baseball personnel - It's about successful Men in Baseball Uniforms!! September 15, 2008

Over my 30 Year career Coaching in Professional and Olympic Sport (24 in Baseball and the last 6 in Cricket)I've encountered countless 'How To' Books. Unquestionably though 'Dugout Wisdom' is far and away the BEST I've ever perused! br / br /Each and every Page is a new and exciting experience of common sense methods on how any person can live their life to their absolute fullest. It's TRULY a life changing Book with life changing concepts - All one has to do to is apply them and they're guaranteed to flourish in their personal and professional journey! br / br /Dan Migala should be highly complimented on this innovative and highly inspiring Book of LIFE LESSONS! br / br /Sincerely, br /Mike Young br /Australian Cricket Fielding Coach br /Former Minor League Manager (Baltimore Orioles and Cleveland Indians)
The ultimate father-son book! September 15, 2008

Each night when I tuck my young boys into their bunk bed, they ask if I will 'sit with them'... some nights my patience is fried, but many nights I say 'ok, get to sleep and I'll sit down here for a few minutes.' I open the closet door a bit and lie on the floor of their room, with a sliver of light allowing me to open up a book and read. br / br /It has become one of my favorite times of the day... a rare 15 minutes of complete quiet while two of my favorite people fall fast asleep nearby. br / br /Recently it has allowed me to read nightly excerpts from Dugout Wisdom and can't help but think what a perfect book it is, in many ways... but especially for those few quiet minutes of my day. It is that rare kind of book that sparks a new thought, re-focuses me on what's important or inspires me in some small way. It also reminds me of the role that baseball has played in bonding me with my father as well as with my own sons. Great job! I recently bought an extra copy to send to my dad... I guess I'll have to buy another couple soon to inscribe to my sons. br /
Truly a life lesson a gift to share! September 3, 2008
Lynn Hajduk (Chicago, IL)
Dan Migala's book was truly inspiring and a wonderful gift to share with so many that are struggling with attaining their dreams. It was important to read that so many of the players struggled through adversities but never gave up. Many people today need to know that anything you really want always comes with a price. I think Dan's book showed that well. I wish it could be translated into a book for young children to read and learn from as well. Maybe that dream is already happening!
Brilliantly uplifting August 11, 2008
Sarah B. Worner (Chicago)
If you need something to get you motivated in your dreams - this is a great place to start. The stories in this book really make you feel like you can do anything if you just put your heart into it. Dan does a great job compiling these stories into such a unique book.
