New Book on the 1996 Yankees
As most of you already know, I co-host a 100% commercial-free, no one makes a dime from it, Sports Talk radio show on Long Island. Last night, Joel Sherman from the New York Post was our guest. He has a brand new book out called Birth of a Dynasty, all about the 1996 Yankees.
He spoke with us for 62(!) commercial-free minutes and the interview (but for 2-3 questions at the very end) is all Yankees talk.
Here is the link:

Here is what was discussed (in chronological order):
--A discussion of how everything was aligned right that year --Jim Leyritz --The deals that were never made --Bill Livesey --George Steinbrenner & his GM’s --Joe Torre’s “Calm Bombs” --Joel’s use of what was going on in the real world at the time, as sort of a touchstone --“The Shadow Cabinet” --Clyde King’s early thoughts on Derek Jeter --Mariano for Felix Fermin?!?! --The 1992 Draft and how the Yanks got Jeter --Derek Jeter’s 1st Minor League season --Bernie Williams --Funny story about Bernie & Juan Gonzalez --Bernie becoming a switch hitter --Jeter and Bernie in Brian Butterfield’s Boot Camp --Tino Martinez --“National League style” --Strawberry and Fielder being added to “Bronx Bombers” --David Cone --The Braves looking like the Team of the Decade until that point --Buck Showalter --Joe Torre’s history --Arthur Richman --Brian Cashman’s role back then --Denny Neagle --Smoltz & Glavine commenting on Leyritz’s homer off Wohlers --The Orioles & Davey Johnson --Frank Torre on Joe Torre --Jeffrey Maier --Paul O’Neill --Jimmy Key --Ruben Rivera --Mel Hall being mean to a young Bernie Williams --Is the Dynasty over? --Joe Girardi --The Steroid Era --Dwight Gooden today --Randy Johnson --Tradewinds & the Farm System --Mets & El Duque --Can the Yanks still win it all this year? --Carlos Delgado --Barry Bonds --Will Andy Pettitte’s best friend be a Yankee this year? --Will a member of the Dynasty manage the team someday? --What is David Cone doing today?
As always, thanks and I hope you enjoy. And, please tell a Yankees fan friend, as well. Audio of Joel Sherman Interview
