I especially liked how Sherman's time line of events. Each time a significant moment of the season occurred, Sherman reminded the readers of an event that was occurring in the news at the time. I kept thinking, "How could that have been 13 years ago? It seems like just yesterday."
All in all, a great book! I enjoyed David Cone's foreword as well. I highly recommend it for any fan of the 1996 New York Yankees.
