For two and a half decades, Yankee boss George Steinbrenner has gone out of his way to find new ways to make baseball both interesting and infuriating. What can you say about an owner who ... - pays gambler Howie Spira to try to track down unsavory information on outfielder Dave Winfield? - fires Dick Howser, the manager who guided the New York Yankees to their best regular-season record since 1963? - leaks uncomplimentary facts about his own players to the press? - nurtures a codependent relationship with the late Billy Martin, eventually hiring (and firing) the Brash One five times? - composes, and distributes to the New York media, a press release attacking his own manager, Lou Piniella, for missing a phone call? - so enrages Yogi Berra that the Hall of Famer has sworn never to reenter Yankee stadium until someone else owns the team? - goes through managers the way other people go through Kleenex? - leads Jay Leno to call Saddam Hussein the "Steinbrenner of Iraq"? Well, there certainly is one thing to say: George Steinbrenner is the most hated man in major league baseball. With this book in hand you will find yourself laughing, crying, and cursing -- sometimes all at once. And remember... The only good thing about having power is that you can use it to help other people. - Steinbrenner expounding his personal philosophy, circa 1982 Okay, George, and I'm sure you have a bridge to sell us.

Download or read book Core Four written by Phil Pepe and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the careers of four instrumental players who turned around the Yankees ball club, this book shares behind-the-scenes stories from their early days together in the minors through the 2013 season, and follows them on their majestic ride to the top of the baseball world. At a time when the New York Yankees were in free fall, having failed to win a World Series in 17 years and had not played in one in 14 years—the Bronx Bombers' longest drought since before the days of Babe Ruth—along came four young players whose powerful impact returned the franchise to its former glory. They were a diverse group from different parts of the globe: Mariano Rivera, a right-handed pitcher from Panama, who was destined to become the all-time record holder in saves and baseball's greatest closer; Derek Jeter, a shortstop raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, who would become the first Yankee to accumulate 3,000 hits; Jorge Posada, an infielder-turned-catcher from Puerto Rico, who would hit more home runs than any Yankees catcher except the legendary Hall of Famer Yogi Berra; and Andy Pettitte, a left-handed pitcher born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who would win more postseason games than any player in baseball history. Together they formed the “Core Four,” and would go on to play as teammates for 13 seasons during which time they would help the Yankees advance to the postseason 12 times, win the American League pennant seven times, and take home five World Series trophies. This book follows these phenoms from the minor leagues to the present, detailing their significant contributions to a winning major league franchise. This 2014 edition updates readers on Jeter's struggles with injuries and recovery, Rivera's final season, and Pettitte's and Jeter's plans moving forward.
