Summary: Madden's Collection from The Daily News
Review: New York Daily News sportswriter Bill Madden has provided us with a collection of his columns from the past 25 years. I like that the book is divided into chapters such as Remembered Friends, Scoops and Exclusives, Villains and Scoundrels, Tragedies and Travesties, and Colorful Characters to mention a few. I enjoy reading about events and people who were once part of the baseball scene that I remember. Most, but not all, involve the Yankees. You don't have to be a Yankees' fan, I'm not, but I still enjoy reading the articles of sportswriters in different parts of the country. If you are a fan of the Yankees, you will especially enjoy the book.

Summary: A highly enjoyable compendium especially for baseball fans
Review: The collaborative effort of sports journalist and baseball fan Bill Madden and the New York Daily News, Bill Madden: My 25 Years Covering Baseball's Heroes, Scoundrels, Triumphs And Tragedies collects Madden's most memorable stories from the "Daily News" archives. From World Series heroes to All-Star games, trades, hirings, firings, scandals, debuts, record-setters, Hall of Famers, the end of legends, and much more, Bill Madden surveys all aspects of the great sport and the dedicated albeit all too human individuals who devote themselves to it. A highly enjoyable compendium especially for baseball fans.

Summary: Great Sports Writing
Review: This is an awesome collection of baseball articles and columns from Bill Madden, New York's best sports writer. Baseball fans will love this book. There is a very interesting story on DiMaggio's relationship with his "long time friend and attorney" Morris Engelberg, who became the sold trustee for DiMaggio's estate when Joe passed away. Also, there are some good stories on Darryl Strawberry, Billy Martin, Fay Vincent, and, of course, George Steinbrenner. I highly recommend this book.
