review 1: I was a kid during the glory days of the New York Yankees during the late '90s. My dad is a Bronx Boy and my mom was a Dodgers fan until they abandoned her and my home of Brooklyn. She became a Yankee fan after that. Needless to say, I was raised in pinstripes. This book is a great inside view of the man running the team during the dynasty of 1996-2000 and beyond. Any baseball fan will love to see the inside of the Yankees former manager and any Yankee fan will love this book.
review 2: It's not that this isn't a good book. It's very entertaining and some parts are even very illuminating. But this book is very unfair in many ways and if you're Tom Verducci (i.e., a journalist), you cannot write this book without interviewing some of the people talked about here... more and giving them a chance to give their side of the story. That's just not fair and ultimately it hurts your very cause. And how come the Red Sox get credit for using "moneyball" methods but when the Yankees try to do the same thing they're becoming obsessed with numbers and forgetting the human element of things. That's just not fair. I could go on. less
