Summary:
In the fall of 1992, America'
s
National Pastime is in crisis. The team owners are at war with each other, their decades-long battle with the players has turned America against both sides, and the players' growing addiction to steroids threatens the
game
's very foundation. It is a tipping point for
baseball
, a crucial moment in the
game
's history that catalyzes a struggle for
power
by three strong-willed men: Commissioner Bud Selig, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, and union leader Don Fehr. It'
s
their uneasy alliance at the end of decades of struggle that pulls the
game
back from the brink and turns it into a money-making powerhouse that enriches them all. This is the real story of
baseball
, played out against a tableau of stunning athletic feats, high-stakes public battles, and backroom political deals--with a supporting cast that includes Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire, Joe Torre and Derek Jeter, George Bush and George Mitchell, and many more. A rigorously reported book and the must-read, fly-on-the-wall, definitive account of how an enormous struggle for
power
turns disaster into
baseball
's Golden Age. Jon Pessah was a founding editor of ESPN the Magazine.
