520    "The untold story of the time when the New York Yankees 
       were a laughingstock--and how out of that abyss emerged 
       the modern Yankees dynasty, one of the greatest in all of 
       sports. The New York Yankees have won 27 world 
       championships and 40 American League pennants, both world 
       records. They have 26 members in the Hall of Fame. Their 
       pinstripe swag is a symbol of "making it" worn across the 
       globe. Yet some 25 years ago, from 1989 to 1992, the 
       Yankees were a pitiful team at the bottom of the standings,
       sitting on a 14-year World Series drought and a 35 percent
       drop in attendance. To make the statistics worse, their 
       mercurial, bombastic owner was banned from baseball. But 
       out of these ashes emerged the modern Yankees dynasty, a 
       juggernaut built on the sly, a brilliant mix of 
       personalities, talent, and ambition. In Chumps to Champs, 
       Pennington reveals a grand tale of revival. Readers 
       encounter larger than life characters like George 
       Steinbrenner and unexplored figures like Buck Showalter, 
       three-time manager of the year, Don Mattingly, and the 
       crafty architect of it all--general manager, Gene Michael,
       who assembled the team's future stars--Rivera, Jeter, 
       Williams, O'Neill, and Pettitte. Drawing on unique access,
       Pennington tells a wild and raucous tale"--|cProvided by
