Customer Reviews

Definitely in my top ten baseball books

Why isn't Billy Martin in the hall of fame? He was one of the best managers in the history of baseball. I can't imagine how great he would have been if Steinbrenner would have left him alone to do his job. You can see what a decent guy he was by reading his words.I can't believe he hasn't been inducted already. I guess it must be politics.

Billy Wears The Number Well

Written at the period of his tumultuous ride as manager of the Yankees, Billy Martin proves why he was the heart and soul of the club. It was during a time that interest in the Bronx Zoo was immense and numerous players were weighing in on the team. A book from Martin was a natural, and he tackles the issues inside the clubhouse and away from the ballpark in the candor that made him a baseball legend. To gain a greater appreciation of the times chronicled by Sparky Lyle, Graig Nettles and others, Number 1 remains a must for Yankee fans or those who want another angle to the story that played out daily in the New York tabloids.
