Inside the Empire The True Power Behind the New York Yankees eBook Bob Klapisch Paul Solotaroff Reviews
- This was supposed to be an insiders look at how the Yankees operate. It started out that way and then segued into a recap of the 2018 season. A recap where the author somehow managed to forget that the Yankees were held tightly to a below $200M budget, of which roughly $21M was for a man who never played. I would love to have seen the story of how Ellsbury was signed after Cano went to Seattle. However when comparing how Boston fielded the better team [which they did] it might have been useful to mention that Boston allowed itself $40M more in payroll that the Yankee ownership allowed themselves. Not only wasn't this mentioned, but the whole logic of getting below the limit was never really discussed. Strange. Hence 4 stars instead of 5. I enjoyed the book but it was not the book I thought I was buying.
- Some interesting stories about how cashman rose to complete control of team, but other than that it seems like a 200 page slobfest over how “cool†aaron Boone is and how amazing cashman is. It’s like if Fox News wrote a book about president trump. Lots and lots of spin with some nice tidbits thrown in about torre, jeter and current players.
- Through most of the book, I had to remind myself that the Yankees won 100 games. Sanchez was a few feet short from winning game 4 of the ALDS but you're left with the feeling Stanton was a complete bust. If we had Martinez the Yankees would have won. Boone was a refreshing change from Girardi but Girardi would not have backed down from Cora. The most interesting sections dealt with the new business model that the Yankees have initiated, due to Cashman's vision and Hal's business acumen. Starting off with educating their young international players in English and how to deal with the press and incorporating good nutritional guidance, the Yankees will certainly continue to have good young players come up through their system.
- When reading sports books like this I don't expect more than a light read on the 10th or 11th grade level, this book reads at that level but is so poorly but together and comically one-sided it was a chore to get through the second half of what should be a 3-hour read. The entire gist of the book all post 2000 Yankees except the "Core Four" were bad guys who were overpaid and couldn't perform in New York and cost the Core Four titles. The authors make a point to cherry pick A-Rods 2005 & 2007 playoff stats but ignore his 2009 playoffs where he nearly single-handedly carried the team. Joe Torre is a bad manager because he was more interested in celebrity and money. Joe Girardi is bad manager because he wasn't friends with everyone. Aaron Boone is a great manager months into his career because he's friendly with the team. The 2018 Yankees are "real" Yankees because they came through the Yankee system and aren't free agents who dare to make a lot of money. The "new" Yankees are all about developing players the "Yankee way" and not overpaying for free agents. Well except for Stanton, he's a great guy and hard worker, but he makes a lot of money, but Cashman fleeced Jeter anyway in taking Stanton because Cashman is the smartest guy in the world. Stanton can never be Judge though, because Stanton isn't a real Yankee and is super rich and dresses too flashy. Judge, in his second season of which he missed half is held up as one of the great all-time leaders in sports , comparable to Jeter, Brady, Montana, Messier. There's any entire chapter devoted to fawning over Randy Levine and his ability to screw over the city and tax payers by getting incredible concession in building the new stadium. The running theme of this book is trying to make Cashman into a Billy Beane/Moneyball type hero. Far too much of the book is dedicated to Cashman's genius into remaking the team by building a team of "quants" that use data to analyze players, exactly what every other team except maybe the Pirates has been doing for 15 years. The final agony in slogging through what I expected to be an easy read is the authors trying to shoehorn terrible and obvious jokes in as often as they can (and awkwardly using parentheses to do so) If this was designed to be a Yankee propaganda book for kids and dumb people, it's fine. If not, it's an embarrassment.
- I first heard about this book in an interview the author did with a local radio station. I thought it was going to be the real dirt on what was going on inside the empire with Jeter and Torre. It started off talking about that stuff, but then it went into pretty much a detailed run down of the Yankees season ranging from the lowest rung semi pro squad up to the big league team. I liked learning some of the stuff about what the club does for the latin american prospects, but I was looking to read more about how much of a prima-donna Jeter really was.
- The book had some good inside stories but they were things that could have been covered in a 4 or 5 part series in the Sunday paper or Sports Illustrated. I got through it pretty quickly and was left wanting more. Maybe more of a history of George Steinbrenner's motivation behind his moves. Also would have enjoyed knowing more about how Cashman did things on a day to day basis.
- Really haven't read a sports book quite like this. If you are interested in learning about the inside culture of the most iconic baseball team in history, I'm sure you will like this. It feels like the author took his time writing it and the editing was crisp, which is refreshing for a sports book these days.
- Absolute garbage of a book. I agree with every negative comment that other people have said in previous reviews. I saw these authors interviewed on the Michael Kay show and believed Michael,s hype about this being a great book and I pre-ordered it right then. Do not waste your money. If you really want to read this just wait for it at the library or Goodwill stores- there will be plenty of them donated after other people read them and realize they wasted their hard-earned money on this garbage. Life-long Yankees fan here, who has read many baseball and Yankees books and this was an absolute waste of my money. I just hope I save others from wasting the money for which they work so hard.
