Description
Joe Torre's New York Yankees were on the brink of collapse when he took over as manager in 1996. Eighteen years without a World Series title had seen seventeen previous managers come and go, all fired by George Steinbrenner.
Under Torre's leadership, the team experienced a remarkable resurgence, winning four World Series titles and setting a new standard for success. But managing a team like the Yankees is not just about winning - it's about navigating complex personalities and relationships. In this book, Joe Torre and Tom Verducci take readers behind the scenes of the dugout, clubhouse, and front office to reveal what made the Yankees so successful.
