Reviews
"Full of rich, detailed reporting ... One doesn't have to be a Yankees fan to enjoy this book, but a fan of baseball and good writing." -- John Feinstein, author of A Season on the Brink "In rich detail, Joel Sherman examines the architecture of a modern dynasty: the art, the science, and yes, sometimes the amazing luck. The '96 Yankees, rife with characters and comebacks, provide fertile ground for Sherman's sharp reportorial skills." -- Tom Verducci, Sports Illustrated "Sherman's fly-on-the-wall familiarity with his subject results in countless revelations, many of which will surprise even hard-core Yankees fans." -- Chad Finn, Boston Globe "A superb account of the making of a champion, with inside info about Joe Torre, Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter, and many behind-the-scenes players. It's the type of info you don't see in most baseball books." -- Jon Heyman, Newsday.com

Synopsis
Veteran "New York Post" columnist Joel Sherman tells how a down-and-out manager named Joe Torre, working with young, untested players like Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera, won the 1996 World Series and a total of four championships in five years., A 10th anniversary celebration of the 1996 Yankee season--the season that sparked a dynasty--teeming with revelations and glorious memories for baseball fans everywhere In the fall of 1995, the New York Yankees suffered a crushing game 5 defeat to the Seattle Mariners--ending their championship dreams. Remarkably, this loss and the end of Buck Showalter's role as manager would lead to one of the most respected team dynasties in sports history. Now veteran New York Post columnist Joel Sherman, who has spent more time with the Bronx Bombers in the past 15 years than any other writer, tells how a down-and-out manager named Joe Torre, working with young, untested players like Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera, would win the 1996 World Series and a total of 4 championships in 5 years. Along the way, Sherman captures the drama and behind-the-scenes intrigue of a season that started in disarray but would quickly highlight some of the most talented players in Yankees history. Using hundreds of interviews and years of on-the-spot reporting, Sherman re-creates one of the Yankees' greatest years as only he can. "To be properly told, the story of the dynasty's beginning must be told by an insider, someone who can take the reader behind the headlines and box scores to the true pulse of the team. . . . Joel Sherman is that insider."--Sports Illustrated baseball writer Tom Verducci, A 10th anniversary celebration of the 1996 Yankee season-- the season that sparked a dynasty-- teeming with revelations and glorious memories for baseball fans everywhere In the fall of 1995, the New York Yankees suffered a crushing game 5 defeat to the Seattle Mariners-- ending their championship dreams.
