First published 2019
The New York Yankees open their doors to reveal what actually happens when cameras stop rolling. Bob Klapisch uses the 2018 season as his window into baseball's most valuable franchise. General Manager Brian Cashman speaks candidly about roster decisions. Manager Aaron Boone discusses clubhouse dynamics. Stars like Giancarlo Stanton and C.C. Sabathia share their perspectives on pressure and expectations. Owner Hal Steinbrenner and team president Randy Levine offer insights from the executive level. Klapisch moves between the dugout, locker room, and boardroom to capture authentic conversations and decision-making processes. The book functions like a documentary series, showing how a major league organization operates when the public isn't watching. Readers see the real personalities behind carefully managed media appearances and discover the internal conflicts that shape a championship-caliber team.
