Right. For two and a half decades, Yankee boss George Steinbrenner has gone out of his way to find new ways to make baseball both interesting and infuriating. What can you say about an owner who ... - pays gambler Howie Spira to try to track down unsavory information on outfielder Dave Winfield? - fires Dick Howser, the manager who guided the New York Yankees to their best regular-season record since 1963? - leaks uncomplimentary facts about his own players to the press? - nurtures a codependent relationship with the late Billy Martin, eventually hiring (and firing) the Brash One five times? - composes, and distributes to the New York media, a press release attacking his own manager, Lou Piniella, for missing a phone call? - so enrages Yogi Berra that the Hall of Famer has sworn never to reenter Yankee stadium until someone else owns the team? - goes through managers the way other people go through Kleenex? - leads Jay Leno to call Saddam Hussein the "Steinbrenner of Iraq"? Well, there certainly is one thing to say: George Steinbrenner is the most hated man in major league baseball. With this book in hand you will find yourself laughing, crying, and cursing -- sometimes all at once. And remember... The only good thing about having power is that you can use it to help other people. - Steinbrenner expounding his personal philosophy, circa 1982 Okay, George, and I'm sure you have a bridge to sell us.

In a series of twenty-one original articles by legal scholars, editor Ettie Ward and the contributors examine both baseball law and baseball lore. By focusing on the famous New York Yankees, and incidents involving the team and the Yankee franchise, the book explores a wide range of legal issues as they relate to baseball. The chapters are organized so that the sports fan (even if neither a lawyer nor a Yankees' fan) is invited to read about sports and learn about the law. Baseball aficionados will enjoy the added insights provided by the discussion of various legal concepts, and lawyer sports fans will gain greater insight as to the application of familiar legal principles on and off the baseball diamond. The chapters cover some topics that would ordinarily be covered in a sports law course, as well as others that would not.

Download Why I Hate the Yankees Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Why I Hate the Yankees offers a humorous take on the most beloved--and at the same time, most reviled--franchise in American professional sports. The book attempts to answer the question: Do we hate the Yankees merely because they always win, or is there more to it than just that? The authors deconstruct the origins of the so-called Yankee mystique, offer countless examples of Yankee arrogance, and critique the Yankees' easy-way-out business model whereby they merely outspend other teams for talent. The authors leave no one exempt from blame, parodying the Yankees' fans, players, and overbearing owner, and questioning the motives of the national media and Major League Baseball. The tongue-in-cheek narrative is interspersed with revealing quotes from Yankee players, fans, media members, and other writers. A must-read for any hater--or lover--of the Yankees.
