As any fan of the Yankees knows the history of the game sometimes rivals the playing of the game at any given moment. Paul O'Neill proves that with his story. From the first time at the plate in his first MLB game to the last one before his retirement, it was his love of the game and the players he played with that made him on of the best player in pinstripes. His interactions with his teammates that play out within the chapters was a joy to read and the entire book is filled with the best of baseball.

Growing up in Cincinnati I loved watching Paul O'Neill play with the Reds. I was sad to see him go to the Yankees but his career and hitting really took off after that trade. I also sad I couldn't see him play regularly against the Reds anymore. The book is a nice memory trip filled with good stories and plenty of names that I know. I am pretty sure anyone who doesn't follow baseball, especially in this era, would have a hard time getting through this book.
