ISBN:  9780316185882 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  648 p., [8] p. of plates : col. ill. ; 24 cm. Notes:  Includes index. 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.
