Damned Yankees

Descripción

This book is a first-hand, behind-the-scenes account of how chaos, confusion, and craziness pervaded the once proud and mighty New York Yankee franchise and doomed it to a decade of decay. The man to think is a man of action and vision, a volatile and exacting shipbuilder from Tampa named George Steinbrenner. He bought the team in 1973, rebuilt it into a World Series champion, and then plunged it into a state of constant turmoil that hopelessly destroyed its quest for sustained success. This explosively revealing, mercilessly hilarious dissection of the "Bronx Bombers", by two of the most experienced and insightful reporters of the game, is a book George Steinbrenner is going to hate- and baseball fans are sure to love. -- from Book Jacket.
