Critics Review
“Now Piniella is telling his life story with Bill Madden, who told the story of Lou’s first ‘Boss’ so perfectly in Steinbrenner: The Last Lion of Baseball. It’s a Hall of Fame book about a baseball life, nicely framing four great decades of the national pastime.” – Dan Shaughnessy, writer for the Boston Globe, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Francona, and winner of the 2016 J. G. Taylor Spink Award
“Lou Piniella was one of the smartest and gutsiest managers I’ve ever known, and I watched him close up with four different teams. He was also one of the funniest, and this book combines both.” – Bill Parcells
“There are not many who have led a baseball life–as both a player and a manager–as eventful as Lou Piniella’s, and together with Bill Madden, Lou has covered every bit of it here…. It’s all here, a sweet baseball life as told to a Hall of Fame baseball writer.” – Bob Costas
