Billyball

By Billy Martin with Phil Pepe

Doubleday & Co. © 1987 • First Edition

Love him or hate him, Billy Martin was always major league news. One of the most colorful and unquestionably one of the most controversial figures in the world of professional sports, Martin could always be counted on to speak his mind -- loud and clear!

Now, in this insightful volume, Billy Martin, former major league baseball player and manager (most notably with the New York Yankees) settles the score on the greatest love of his life: baseball.

Here, in his own inimitable style, he gives us a winning lineup of inside information and heated opinion on just about everything that is baseball. From players, owners, and coaches to strategy, the art of managing, and his own turbulent, lifelong affair with the sport, Martin's outspoken perspective offers a refreshingly singular slant on America's favorite national pastime.
