Excerpt

Over the last decade, the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles have been two of baseball's most dominant teams. Playing in the same division, they have won a combined eight division titles, six league pennants, and three world championships. Even in years when they have not won, they have seldom been very far from the top. But even though both are consistent winners, their methods of getting on top and staying there have been drastically different. Comparing these two methods--one slow, careful, and reliable; the other fast, not so careful, and risky--shows why the Orioles will be winning long after the Yankees have sunk to the bottom of the league.
