Why is Rivera on the cover? - By: Paul White, 02 Aug 2008 
On reading this book you get an understanding of why Mariano Rivera is on the front cover. Because this book is less about THAT baseballl game, & more about the lives of the people involved. And to that end, Rivera comes across not only as a great player but also as a great person.
The story is one of dignity in defeat. And Rivera has it.
The book is a joy because it confirms or destroys, in equal measures, your long held views of the biggest stars in the game, & does so by weaving their life stories around their involvement on that night at the BOB.
You reallly won't take long to read it.
A Fine Read - By: Mr. P. J. Oxenbury, 15 Jan 2008 A highly detailed & fascinating insight into the New York Yankees of the late 90's/early 00's. Buster Olney has obviously done a tremendous amount of research into the topic & it has paid off with a well informed narrative centred around the Yankees World Series game 7 defeat to Arizona Diamondbacks.
The stories Olney relates give a wonderful insight into characters like Steinbrenner, Cashman & Clemens, add to this a few humourous anecdotes (especiallly surrounding David Wells) & you have a must read for Yankee fans & haters (such as myself!)
Enlightening! - By: Neil Martin, 12 May 2006 A fantastic insight into the experiences of the Dynasty of the late 1990's, & a butal account of that November night in Arizona...
