Let me just start off with， I’ve always been a huge Yankee fan。 Through the magical 1990’s Yankee years， Paul O’Neill was my favorite player。 When I saw he wrote a book， I was excited to read it。 I’m so glad I did。This book is filled with O’Neill’s memories and hitting techniques。 He has a huge baseball history and has stories to tell about his interactions with such baseball greats as Pete Rose， Derek Jeter and Joe Torre。 It’s a fun book to read and I felt myself reliving the ‘90’s。 A great tim Let me just start off with， I’ve always been a huge Yankee fan。 Through the magical 1990’s Yankee years， Paul O’Neill was my favorite player。 When I saw he wrote a book， I was excited to read it。 I’m so glad I did。This book is filled with O’Neill’s memories and hitting techniques。 He has a huge baseball history and has stories to tell about his interactions with such baseball greats as Pete Rose， Derek Jeter and Joe Torre。 It’s a fun book to read and I felt myself reliving the ‘90’s。 A great time to be a Yankee fan。As I read the book， I felt as if O’Neill was in my living room sharing stories from his baseball career。 I totally enjoyed this one。 I think many Yankee fans will too。FTC Disclosure: I voluntarily reviewed a free Advance Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher。 I was not required to write a positive review。 All opinions expressed are my own 。。。more

As any fan of the Yankees knows the history of the game sometimes rivals the playing of the game at any given moment。 Paul O'Neill proves that with his story。 From the first time at the plate in his first MLB game to the last one before his retirement， it was his love of the game and the players he played with that made him on of the best player in pinstripes。 His interactions with his teammates that play out within the chapters was a joy to read and the entire book is filled with the best of ba As any fan of the Yankees knows the history of the game sometimes rivals the playing of the game at any given moment。 Paul O'Neill proves that with his story。 From the first time at the plate in his first MLB game to the last one before his retirement， it was his love of the game and the players he played with that made him on of the best player in pinstripes。 His interactions with his teammates that play out within the chapters was a joy to read and the entire book is filled with the best of baseball。 。。。more

As a life long New York Yankees fan I had high hopes for this book about one of the most recent Yankees from the last dynasty。 Unfortunately， I found the book to be somewhat dull and almost painful at times。 The writing style left much to be desired as it did not translate into an interesting history of the players career。 New York Yankee fans may want to give this book a spin， but if you are not a Yankee fan I would recommend a pass。
