Seller's Description:
As New in As New jacket. Signed by Author Signed by both authors on title page. After eras marked by the greatness of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and others, 1964 brought the purchase of the New York Yankees by CBS and the beginning of an almost-decade-long atrophy. It was not until after George Steinbrenner and a group of investors purchased the team in 1973, ushering in the Bronx Zoo era, that the Yankees again rose to the levels of success they had previously enjoyed. But those dark years from 1964 through 1973 were not a total waste, not a time of sorrow and humiliation that should be stricken from the record books and the memories of countless fans. Quite the contrary. This era featured some of the best players in Yankees history: Mel Stottlemyre, Whitey Ford, Al Downing, and even players from the Yankees' previous dynasties, including Mantle and Roger Maris. But a lot of the action during this time was not on the field; it was behind the scenes, out of the public's eye. Only one player was present to see the prosperity of the early 1960s, the tragic decline of the late '60s and early '70s, and the rise of the Bronx Zoo: Roy White. In "Then Roy Said to Mickey...", White provides a fascinating array of stories from the Yankees' residence in the dumpsters of baseball and triumphant tales from the last five years of his career when the team's star rose again. White gives the reader an insider's point of view and provides previously untold tales that bridge the gap between the phenomenal Yankees of the early 1960s to their reemergence as a baseball powerhouse in the mid-1970s. For every fan of the Yankees--even for those who would rather forget that 1964 through 1973 ever happened--"Then Roy Said to Mickey..." does an exceptional job of culling the best stories from Roy White's days on the team, told in the captivating and honest style unique to the man who lived through it all. From the Back Cover "I threw 10, 000 sliders as hard as I could and never had a sore arm. I swung at three curves from Al Jackson, and that was my career."--Dooley Womack on the injury that eventually ended his pitching career "Houk was amazing. I hit about nine homers in spring training of 1963, and the writers were asking Ralph how he thought I might do for the season. He said, `Joe ought to hit about.270 or.280, with maybe 27 or 28 homers, drive in 90 or so. ' I ended the season hitting.271 with 27 homers and 89 RBIs."--Joe Pepitone reflecting on Ralph Houk's almost preternatural baseball insights "The sale of the Yankees to CBS hurt. Many scouts left. The Yankees used to sign the best of all the players, until the draft began. Then they only got one shot for a really prime prospect, and they didn't have the scouts to draft well. They got complacent, didn't change with the times."--Al Downing.
