Bob 'Bull' Watson built his career on the strength of the qualities that earned him his nickname. Hard-working. Persistent. Consistent. Determined. From the beginning, there were obstacles, a difficult climb out of the minors, a host of costly injuries, and the racism that was an accepted part of American culture during those early years. His biggest battle, however, came in 1994, when, after becoming the first African-American general manager in baseball history, he learned that he had prostate cancer. In Survive To Win, Watson chronicles those years, from his earliest baseball memories to a Los Angeles sandlot to the Yankees' triumphant 1996 season.
