No other team has come close to dominating baseball like the New
York Yankees, with 26 World Series wins and 38 American League
championships. No wonder no other team has a frac tion of baseball
books published about them. Bill Madden adds another to the lengthy
list with Pride of October: What it Was to Be Young and a Yankee.
From Phil Rizzuto and Whitey Ford to Lou Piniella and Paul O'Neil,
17 former Yankees and one Yankee widow, reveal their memories about
their careers. The wide range ofYankee seasons is reflected in all
the players selected, so questions range from the reality of Babe
Ruth's "called home run," to Pichardthe shocking final inning of
the 2001 World Series loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks with the
"unbeatable" Yankee reliever Mario Rivera on the mound. In the
pregame clubhouse meetings, the normally reserved Rivera surprised
his team mates by saying "We're going to win, but no matter what
happens, it's in God's hands." Don Mattingly reflects on his 13
fine seasons with the Yanks without a single World Series ring to
show for it. Yogi Berra, Madden claims, when asked directions to
his home for the interview replies, "When you get to the house,
you'll see it."
