Very interesting -- this book was published in 2009 so it is much more up to date than his autobiography, which was published back in 1985. This book covers more of his managerial career. His autobiography covered more of his playing career.
This book is incredibly dense making it at times hard to read. The chapter that covers the Yankee years in around 100 pages.
I really had a hard time also with the depection of Piniella being treated badly by the Cubs.
