Download Damned Yankees: Chaos, Confusion, and Crazyness in the Steinbrenner Era AudioBook Free
New York Daily Media reporter Madden and Klein, of the Newark Star-Ledger, who have protected the Yankees for years, here get together on a brief history which could send fans to their handkerchiefs and opponents into laughter. The authors chiefly discuss the period 1977 to 1989, when main team owner George Steinbrenner changed a stable, conservative, successful franchise into a team characterized by "chaos, misunderstanding, and craziness'' to the point that some top players refuse to sign with the team. Control of the Yankees, claim Madden and Klein, has been ruled by the whims of a tyrant; because of this, the time they survey has seen 18 professionals, 11 presidents, 10 PR agencies and innumerable here-today, gone-tomorrow players.
