A "New York Times "bestseller Enormously entertaining . . . Explores the question of whether a baseball lifer can actually be a tragic figure in the classic sense a man destroyed by the very qualities that made him great." "Wall Street Journal" Bill Pennington gives long-overdue flesh to the caricature . . . Pennington savors the dirt-kicking spectacles without losing sight of the man.

From his hardscrabble youth to his days on the Yankees in the 1950s and through sixteen years of managing, Martin made sure no one ever ignored him. Drawing on exhaustive interviews and his own time covering Martin as a young sportswriter, Pennington provides an intimate, revelatory, and endlessly colorful story of a truly larger-than-life sportsman.
