Book Reviews of The Yankee Years
Book Review: "The Yankee Years" is insightful, not vindictive
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been anxiously anticipating this book for quite some time, and now that it has arrived I am not disappointed. Let me be clear on one thing, despite the recent attention in the media about the criticisms of Alex Rodriguez and Jason Giambi and members of the Yankees front office, what stands out even more in this book is Torre's love of the Yankees, his respect for our captain Derek Jeter and our legendary closer Mariano Rivera, and all those who make up Yankee Fandom.
It is a deeply moving, thought provoking book -- not a rash vindictive accounting on Torre's part, but a careful consideration of his time with the Yankees.
I highly recommend this book to any baseball fan. Joe Torre is a class act and this is a great book that offers amazing insight into the most historic franchise in professional sports.
I enjoy reading as much as I can on the Yankees. I can also highly recommend with 5 star ratings these two fantastic books for all baseball fans, but especially for Yankee fans:
New York Yankees: An Interactive Guide to the World of Sports (Sports by the Numbers)In this Sports by the Numbers title you will find many of the moments Torre discusses in his book, written in a creative and unique format that is a great read for any Yankee fan.
Confessions of a She-Fan: The Course of True Love with the New York Yankees And you have to love Jane Heller -- she's hilarious.
Yankee fans, three great books you have to read.
