The Yankee Years Review-it sucks

The authors don’t even have the integrity to proof read it or have someone who is a baseball fan proofread it.  On page 212 talking about game 7 of the 2003 ALCS, it says Nick Johnson hit a double off the green monster.  I should not even have to tell anyone of the error in this.  Especially in the context of this book and when 2 pages before they are talking about how the World Series logo is being painted on the grass at fenway.

In addition, Joe Torre did not write this book, he is quoted in this book.  The book is not in the first person and the mistake mentioned above makes me wonder about all the facts in the book.  Also, Torre seems very upset in 2003 when David Wells did not even read the book he supposedly wrote.  Lump Verducci and Torre in with Ben Mezrich and the guy from Oprah and there is no integrity in writing anymore.
