- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Enjoyable. A few great stories that I hadn't heard before, but mostly a fun romp through my baseball watching past which I mostly remember. If a book is ever written on those Gabe Paul tapes, now THAT would be awesome.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A fabulous view into the life of one of baseball's greatest legends, STEINBRENNER: The Last Lion of Baseball by Bill Madden served as an inspiration for the on-again-off-again relationship of Queen Morgan le Fay and the love of her late-twenty-first-century life, Sandy Carter in my sequel to Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
