The Yankee Years (Abridged) Audiobook

" The book bored me. Can't be sure if it was the reader or the content. I suspect it was a bit of both. "

" not the best piece of literary genius ever put on paper, but provides a great look at the yankees under joe torre. a 7.5 out of 10 "

" How much of this was actually what Joe Torre said? Pretty little. Very repetitive stories throughout the book almost as if to fill the pages. Definitely need to read the books centered on the steriod era and the revenue sharing transition in baseball in order to gain a better perspective on what the Yankees have gone through. Overall interesting to learn some new things about Damon and the relationship between Torre and Steinbrenner, but other than that, nothing overly exciting. "

" Interesting. As a Mets fan I can respect and appreciate Torre's accomplishments, but I have to admit some of this sounds like he took the opportunity to purposely make some people sound bad (like A-Rod and Cashman) , while painting a rather unflattering picture of Steinbrenner as well (not that I don't think it's deserved). A good read that any real baseball fan should enjoy. "

" Looking forward to this one! This should be revealing! "

" Joe Torre basically threw everybody under the bus. Especially A-Rod, not that he didn't deserve it. Don't go by me though I'm very anti-Yankee. "

" Only if you are a true fan of baseball. There are alot of play by play breakdown of games and situations. Not for the casual fan. "

" Interesting read, but sometimes seemed to lend itself to sensationalism. And the book sometimes seemed to be less about Torre and more about the Yankees themselves....still a fun read. "

" There are a lot of bad baseball books out there. This is not one of those. Joe orre's view of his Yankee years is nicely wrought. One of the better works of this genre. . . . "

" Good read. Interesting to see how he felt as mgt. wanted to get rid of him. His perspective of Cano was dead-on! "

" Great book. Very insightful for Yankee fans and haters alike. "

" i listened to this and really enjoyed it. maybe i didn't know all of the players they referencedbut i enjoyed it none the less. "

" If you like baseball or just sports, this is a very interesting book. A little repetitive, as the main themes are repeated over and over. But the individual stories about all the different players are fascinating. "

" Amazing! One of the best baseball books I have read. Loved all the behind the scenes stuff and the interviews with the Yankee players. "

" Really interesting insider's view "

" I love it when sports personalities spill all their collective beans in a memoir. You could say its the most effective form of accountability there is in baseball these days. "

" Fantastic. Quick read and very informative. Any Yankee fan will love this. "

" Enjoyed it, not all about NY. Language way rough for me. "

" Definitely more Tom Verducci than Joe Torre. I enjoyed this book, but much of what was written was already covered in Buster Olney's book, the Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty. "

" I love this book not only because the yankees are my favorite team, but because I learned things that i never knew before about the yankees. "

" That the Yankees are not as organized as everyone thinks! "

" I liked this book because I felt Torre is fairly open and honest about his experience. The book also deals more with the current trends in baseball than I thought it would and I really liked that side of it. "

" Its exciting and informing! "

" I am not a Yankees fan, but I really got into this book. I loved the stats. "

" Good read. Interesting to see how he felt as mgt. wanted to get rid of him. His perspective of Cano was dead-on! "

" Solid baseball book that gets into the mind of former Yankee manager Joe Torre. As a non-Yankee fan, I still was able to get a lot of enjoyment, and glean insights that I otherwise would not have learned. "

" I liked this book... I am not a Yankees fan, but it was nice to go behind the scenes. Really interesting information about clubhouse chemistry, the demise of Steinbrenner too. "

" I am not a Yankees fan, but I really got into this book. I loved the stats. "

" Didn't pull any punches and exposed some of the larger egos in baseball over the past 15 years. "

" I love these book because Joe Torre went behind the scene with the yankees and talked about how he was treated and how he felt being the coach of the New York Yankees. By the way i am a Yankees fan so I recommened this book to those who love the yankees. "

" I was pretty against this book when it first came out. After finally reading it though, I have to admit, it was good . There were stories that might have not been told otherwise. While it did create some controversy (ie-Arod) it was interesting and I'm glad I read it. "

" This book went on too many tangents "

" A really interesting book that is not exactly what was advertised, and pleasantly so. Instead of a Joe Torre Yankee memoir it is a 1996-2007 era of baseball history book by a good sports writer with a special focus on the Yankees and insights from Joe Torre. "

" A MUST READ BOOK JOE TORRE IS AMAZING,, GREAT BOOK AND GREAT LESSON A ROD #1 "
