About this ebook

“Having covered the Yankees for thirty years, and with access to previously unavailable material, Madden provides a definitive and captivating biography.” —Kirkus Reviews

2010 Winner of the Baseball Hall of Fame J. G. Taylor Spink Award

If you love the New York Yankees, arguably the most storied franchise in all of sports—or even if you’re just a fan of baseball history, or big business bios—this biography of the larger-than-life team owner for the past four decades is a must for your bookshelf. For more than thirty years Bill Madden has covered the Yankees and Major League Baseball for the New York Daily News, and he brings all his insights and inside connections to Steinbrenner: the definitive biography of one of New York’s most intriguing and long-standing sports figures, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.

“Riveting . . . Reading the book feels like the literary equivalent of passing a traffic accident; it is all but impossible to turn away.” —The New York Times



“Definitive, indispensable . . . A vivid and entertaining portrait.” —Sports Illustrated

“[Madden] offers an insider’s look at how Steinbrenner has run his team, even finding unexpected—certainly underpublicized—humanity in his subject.” —Booklist

    A fabulous view into the life of one of baseball's greatest legends, STEINBRENNER: The Last Lion of Baseball by Bill Madden served as an inspiration for the on-again-off-again relationship of Queen Morgan le Fay and the love of her late-twenty-first-century life, Sandy Carter in my sequel to Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
