The deeply personal story of a
friendship between two teammates, and
of a human bond which ultimately
transcends the game itself. As
back-to-back No. 1 draft picks for the
New York Yankees, Ron Blomberg and
Thurman Munson made for an odd couple.
One was a good-looking, gregarious kid
from Atlanta who cheerfully talked
anyone's ear off at the slightest
provocation; the other was a dumpy,
grumpy dude from the Midwest rust belt
who was about as fond of making idle
chit-chat as he was of shaving.
Despite the surface differences, the two men would form a close attachment
as they ignited a youth movement with
the 1970s Yankees. Now, over 40 years
after Munson's shocking death in a
plane crash at age 32, Blomberg
opens-up to author Dan Epstein about
the beloved Yankees captain in an
extraordinary memoir that reaches far
beyond baseball.
By turns hilarious and heart-breaking, the book shares tales of clubhouse
hijinks during the infamous Bronx Zoo
era, adventures on the road, and even
rubbing shoulders with mobsters.
Blomberg also offers a fascinating
glimpse into baseball history,
including the first-ever strike and
lockout, the escalation of the Yankees
-- Red Sox rivalry, and the start of
full-scale free agency. This
illuminating remembrance of Munson is
filled with untold stories about his
analytical-yet-hard-nosed approach to
baseball, as well as his kindness and
generosity off the field.
