"Baseball insiders are calling it the best front office book ever written about sports, and it's a riot." - Larry King, USA Today
"If you want to know what the Yankees were like before (and during) Billy Martin's various turns at the helm, Now Pitching for the Yankees just might be the best place to start." Rob Neyer, ESPN.Com
"It's different, it's funny, and he knows his stuff." - Tim McCarver, Fox Sports Announcer, catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals
Starting as a college student sorting Mickey Mantle’s fan mail and rising all the way to director of public relations, Marty Appel offers a unique behind-the-scenes memoir of life with the New York Yankees from 1968-1977. Appel stood shoulder-to-shoulder with both the bench warmers and the superstars of the era, from tempestuous owner George Steinbrenner to future Hall of Farmer's like Yogi Berra and Reggie Jackson. With a new chapter looking back at his career in the last twelve years, as well as changes and milestones in the game he loves, Marty Appel paints a hilarious and poignant portrait of the Yankees.
“[Appel’s] love of baseball shines through here, and Yankee fans will lap up his humorous stories of Yankee greats and not-so-greats.” – Library Journal
"A poignant account of a fan turned public relations executive working for baseball's most glamorized team." - Baseball America.
