Confession: I hate the Yankees! However, I would still recommend reading this. While in some spots, it delves a little too deeply into the world of statistics and biomechanics, it offers a picture into an era of baseball. It chronicles the beginning of the Steroid Era and its aftermath, along with shifting philosophies in baseball regarding player evaluations. While focusing on the Yankees, it discusses baseball as a whole, including how the Red Sox acquired some of their best players and how the management rebuilt the franchise into a powerhouse to threaten the Yankees. It was also really nice to see appearances from some of my favorite Indians, Omar Vizquel, Kenny Lofton, Manny Ramirez, and of course, Grady Sizemore! If that is not enough, it's worth reading the entire book just to read about A-Rod getting a cup of coffee.
This book gave a fascinating glimpse of some of the things that went on behind the scenes during Torre's tenure. I found the events surrounding the Kei Igawa disaster very interesting. I realize this book stirred up a lot of controversy between Torre and the Yankees, but I didn't find there to be very much inflammatory material here. There is a detailed description of how Torre's departure went down that doesn't paint Cashman and CO. in a very flattering way, but that was about it.This is a great read for any Yankee fan, or for any baseball fan.
