For six extraordinary years around the turn of the
millennium, the Yankees were baseball's unstoppable force,
with players such as Paul O'Neill, Derek Jeter, and Mariano
Rivera. But for the players and the coaches, baseball
Yankees-style was also an almost unbearable pressure cooker
of anxiety, expectation, and infighting. With owner George
Steinbrenner at the controls, the Yankees money machine spun
out of control. In this new edition of The Last
Night of the Yankee Dynasty, Buster Olney tracks the
Yankees through these exciting and tumultuous seasons,
updating his insightful portrait with a new introduction
that walks readers through Steinbrenner's departure from
power, Joe Torre's departure from the team, the continued
failure of the Yankees to succeed in the postseason, and the
rise of Hank Steinbrenner. With an insider's familiarity
with the game, Olney reveals what may have been an
inevitable fall that last night of the Yankee dynasty, and
its powerful aftermath.
