À propos de cet audio

This best-selling, highly-acclaimed account is a hilarious but scathing baseball tell-all. After being voted the 1977 American League Cy Young Award winner, Sparky Lyle was rewarded for his efforts by being benched. The Yankees, a leader of free agency, signed Goose Gossage as their closer. Things only went downhill from there and the 1978 season turned out to be one of controversy, firings, fights, and acrimony. In short, it was a zoo.

I liked this audiobook, but in spots, it kind of fell flat for me. Mr. Lyle's reading was genuine, and in the end, I am glad I listened to it, but I was in a baseball frame of mind. Given the content, there were a few interesting anecdotes I wasn't aware of, but overall most of the material isn't much new. George Steinbrenner was a tyrant, Reggie Jackson was full of himself, and Billy Martin battled alcoholism, but there were a few new tidbits.

Compared to Ball Four by Jim Bouton, I'd say this book was a step below that, but not by much.

I enjoyed it.
