All Roads Lead to October: Boss Steinbrenner's 25-Year Reign over the New York Yankees

by Maury Allen

For three decades brash Yankee owner, George Steinbrenner and his team have grabbed headlines, signed superstars, gotten into fights, changed managers, won and lost games, and become a New York institution.. Now, sportswriter Maury Allen takes you behind the scenes to chronicle George's reign--and how the Yankees went from being the Bronx Zoo to the classiest, most successful organization in baseball today.

Here are inside stories on Yankee greats including babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and Joe DiMaggio, and revealing, in-depth portraits of current superstars such as Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, El Duque, Roger Clemens, David Cone, Daryl Strawberry, Mariano Rivera and Joe Torre. Along the way, we are treated to some amazing on-the-field--and off-the-field--action as seen by a journalist who has known three generation of Yankees up-close and personal. Exciting and irreverent, All Roads Lead to October is the definitive account of twenty-five years of baseball glory--New York Yankee style.

Lots of good stories about the Yankees of the 70's and 80's. Even sprinkled with some faces of the 60's. I didn't know that Thurmond Munson was the nicest guy. Reggie was hated by everyone, especially Billy Martin. Ricky Henderson was called "hammy" because he sat out so many games with a hamstring problem.

A review of the Yankees under Boss Steinbrenner. An entertaining read.

[Jeff · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good stories told in disjointed fashion by insufferable, egotistical writer.

[Linda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read this baseball book because Steve Kline was mentioned in it because he played for the yankees and he is local and gave Derrick, my son, some pitching lessons. That being said it was still a very good book.
