THE FAMOUS CLUTCH PLAYER COMES THROUGH WITH A SMASH BOOK!
Sweet Lou is a candid look at the exciting playing and private lives of Lou Piniella. The legendary Yankee clutch hitter and current manager takes us inside the most controversial team in modern baseball-the world of pennant drives, temper tantrums, glories and tragedies of the explosive boys from the Bronx: George Steinbrenner, Thurman Munson, Billy Martin, Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, Sparky Lyle, Craig Nettles and many more.
Sweet Lou recounts his run-ins with Earl Weaver in the minors to his Rookie-of-the-Year season with the Royals to his years as a Yankee slugger, coach and manager. He tells what it takes to hit a ninety m.p.h. fastball, to sit in the minors and wait for the phone call that may never come, to battle for your position every spring against the young guys, to play through pain and manage through mayhem.
Sweet Lou is a book filled with fun and fury, the raucousness of the clubhouse, the thrill of the game-a book, like its author, that is the class of the league.
