Customer Reviews

Viva los Yanquis!

I won't be long-winded, but this was a pretty terrific scoot. I've never read any of Bill Granger's other work, but the guy at least knows his baseball dialogue and how to keep a story moving. Is it implausible? Yes. Is it occasionally a bit silly? Yup. Is it also a damned funny book that just about any baseball fan or Yankee hater (and let's face it, folks -- those are realyl one and the same) will enjoy? Absolutely.

PR Malato's Review

As a guy that eats up anything that has even the slightest link to baseball, I was intrigued by this novel when my buddy Jake gave it to me to read. I hate the real life Yankess, and since this book was a satire of George Steinbrenner and the Yankee orgainization, I took great pleasure in reading Granger openly mock "the mystique." Though the plot is pretty bizarre - the owner selling the whole team and bringing in a bunch of Cuban ringers - it is entertaining and funny thoughout. If you follow Major League Baseball, you will love this book. If you don't, then you should probably pass it up.

Like a "Semi-tough" for baseball fans & George haters

This is a very enjoyable read. Not as off the wall as Dan Jenkins' classic "Semi-Tough", but still well worth picking up. Maybe not new, but still a good one to read & pass to a buddy. Campy, this one's for you, I'm putting my copy in the mail. You can read it at the Humboldt Crabs games!
