Summary:
For nearly five decades,
Lou
Piniella has been a fixture in Major League
Baseball
, as an outfielder with the legendary New York Yankees of the 1970s, and as a manager for five teams in both the American and National leagues. Piniella reflects on his storied career, offering fans a glimpse of life on the field, in the dugout, and inside the clubhouse. He played with the Yankees for 11 seasons, and during his career he compiled 1705 hits. He speaks from the heart about his teams and his players, offering a detailed, up-close portrait of the Bronx Zoo's raucous personalities such as Reggie Jackson and Catfish Hunter, as well as his close friendship with Thurman Munson and his unusual relationship with George Steinbrenner. He also delves deep into his post-Yankee experiences, from
winning
a World Series for the controversial owner of the Cincinnati Reds, Marge Schott, to transforming the perennial cellar-dwelling Seattle Mariners into one of the league's best teams. Throughout his time in the majors, Piniella has witnessed MLB grow into a multi-billion-dollar business. Piniella reflects on those changes, voicing his highly critical opinions on a range of controversial subjects, including steroids.
