Inside the Empire: The True Power Behind the New York Yankees

A riveting look at the inner workings of the New York Yankees, the world’s most famous and wealthy sports franchise. Even die-hard fans don’t know what really goes on behind closed doors. They read tabloids, blogs, and listen to radio shows, but they don’t understand the internal power politics that executives face daily.

This book goes deeper than ever before. With access to Brian Cashman and other top officials, Authors Bob Klapisch and Paul Solotaroff reveal crucial stories like how Cashman tricked Derek Jeter to land Giancarlo Stanton, why Joe Girardi was fired, why Aaron Boone was hired as manager, and how Cashman survived in the cutthroat world of George Steinbrenner. General managers are tight-lipped for good reason. This book shows how baseball really works.
