"I have been a major league manager for 11 years.   I had the pleasure of managing Doug for 3 of those years in Philadelphia.  Dougie was always extremely articulate and well spoken and it certainly comes across in his book.   He was the smartest guy on our team, the most humble, and he could lay out base hits with anyone in the league!  He was a joy to be around.   As good as he was in center field I didn't doubt he would be even more successful off the field!"

Terry Francona, Manager, Boston Red Sox

"Doug Glanville is as deep a thinker as any baseball player I've known.   His insights about the game and the business are worth the attention of any baseball devotee."

Michael Weiner, Union chief, MLBPA

"For anyone who loves to know what goes on behind-the-scenes in baseball, Doug's book is a front-row seat to all the action -- on the field, in the clubhouse, and the business side of the game."

Allyne Price, Player Relations, MLBPA

"On a shelf cluttered with the boastful and self-seeking,  Doug lifts the blanket concealing the true game and reveals an insight and perspective unlike any other you will find. Penetrating and honest, Doug takes you into the genuine, unveiling what few have the privilege to experience. A book both umpires and players can agree on."

Michael Weiner, Mike DiMuro, MLB Umpire

"The Game from Where I Stand is a great book showing that professional athletes are human. It gives true perspective of a major leaguer mindset on and off the field during what is a grueling season."

Derrek Lee, Player - Baltimore Orioles

"The Game from Where I Stand is a "reality" book that shows that the glamorous perception of the job comes with a lot of responsibility, personal sacrifice and commitment, with no room for shortcuts. Doug is the right person to expose this side of the game."

Edwin Rodriguez, Manager, Florida Marlins

"As someone who has enjoyed the good fortune of being able to spend a life working in the game of baseball, I can honestly say that Doug takes you on a realistic journey on what goes on inside.  Baseball fans of any level will come away with a true feeling of what being in the game is really like"

Frank Coppenbarger, Philadelphia Phillies Director of Team Travel & Clubhouse Services

"As a former GM with nearly 20 years in MLB front offices, I have learned to consider every piece of information in order to build the best team possible. Doug offers tremendous insights about the game. Even more compelling is his ability to humanize his journey as a player. We all know that the game is not easy and that the players are human beings. This book illuminates many of the challenges, thrills and emotions involved in professional baseball."

Josh Byrnes, Special Assistant to the GM, San Diego Padres
