Description
An inside look at one of baseball’s greatest teams, now with an exclusive chapter looking back on the changes in the game.
Starting as a college student sorting Mickey Mantle’s fan mail and rising all the way to director of public relations, Marty Appel offers a unique behind-the-scenes memoir of life with the New York Yankees from 1968-1977. Appel stood shoulder-to-shoulder with both the benchwarmers and the superstars of the era, from tempestuous owner George Steinbrenner to future Hall of Famers like Yogi Berra and Reggie Jackson. With a new chapter looking back at his career in the last twelve years, as well as changes and milestones in the game he loves, Marty Appel paints a hilarious and poignant portrait of the Yankees.
