Summary: It will seem dated now, but it was funny when it came out
Review: A fictitious account of the year that Sparky Lyle operated the Yankees. It spoofs the first fifteen years of the Steinbrenner era. That's why it's dated. Steinbrenner was well known for ignoring his baseball people back then, and doing boneheaded things like trading Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps. It's funny because, his intentions to the contrary, Lyle likewise ignores his baseball people in the book. I think he ends up with six left-handed hitting first basemen.

Summary: The best Sports Fiction that I have ever read
Review: Not only was he a great closer for the New York Yankees, Sparky Lyle spins the most hilarious yarn that I have ever read.For baseball fans, especially Yankee fans which I am not, this is a must-read. Rarely do I laugh out loud when I'm reading, but Sparky made me chuckle throughout the entire read. I'm waiting for Sparky's second fiction to come out.
Rating:
