Halfway into Joe Torre’s book “The Yankee Years” I feel utterly deceived from all the hype about his book and the comments that were released to the media. This book is more stats and technical details on certain games that I already know than it is gossip, heartfelt experiences and after hours antics as the sleeve of the book mentions. Not only did the media make a big deal but I am currently not sure who actually wrote this book entirely.. was it Joe or Tom Verducci alone? It’s sporadic in its tale jumping from one subject to another than back to the original with no consistancy in it’s chapters. I wish Joe Torre wrote this on his own. If your going to pass on a book to the media as a gossipy type or “your experience”book then make sure it is that. I found this book to be a bit technical but there were several parts I found to be interesting and felt like it came from Joe Torre directly.  I can say this after reading Paul Oneill’s book and noticing a difference.

 So on that note the book has been released to the public.
