Review
"This is the saga of the brash brat of baseball. In more than 500 pages, Golenbock presents seemingly every detail of Billy's bullying, boozing, and barroom brawling. This is a pathetic story of competitiveness and self-destruction, of a man whose life had meaning only on the playing field. To a lesser extent, it is the story of the even more odious George Steinbrenner, owner of the Yankees and Billy's adversary. Golenbock gives us a vivid
glimpse into professional sports at their ugliest." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
