--Proud to be a Yankees fan..
--Proud to be a part of the human race..
--Proud of these men and their families...
--Proud of their talent and the way they use it...
--Proud of their relationship as teamates and examples...
--Proud that Major League baseball has such men as these in its ranks. Winning only makes their story better. It has nothing to do with their qualities as a human being, husband, father, role model (even though they don't want to be seen in that light) and as a competitor...
Yes, they are human, but they are exceptional men, especially in sport of Major League Baseball...They are a credit to all who raised them, coached them, trained them and to the game as a whole...
They continue to give us hope and a reason for loving the game. In a world of bad, it is rewarding and reassuring to see and read something good and refreshing, something about the way baseball and baseball players could and should be...
A tip of the cap to the Core Four, Pasada, Pettite, Jeter and the Mighty Mo...
They deserve it and the reason for that tip of the hat is far more important than World Series rings.
Having won (and winning) those only makes their story better.

If you're a true yankee fan, and especially a fan of the core four, it is the only way I see you tolerating this book. It is good for one go around but definitely not a book I would have on display on my bookshelf. It reads as a Yankees homage. So much so that my inner reading voice turned into John Sterling half way through page 1. The tolerance factor comes in two different forms. The fact that there is a bunch of information (most of which we already know) which is repeated in different pages. Which makes it seem as though the author was just trying to fill in empty space. And to me it seemed like there was really no direction in this book. Their 4 stories rarely intertwined. Which if that was the goal then they should have just named the book "Jeter, Posada, Pettitte and Mariano". You can definitely tell by reading this book that their were no interviews with any players, or their wives, or their old baby sitters. Just stories you could easily find on google. Which is what dissapoints me the most

not much more to say, other than i love these guys... i worked for their minor league team in Greensboro when Mariano, Derek and Andy played in the early 90's.... it's been great watching them become who they are after all these years....

I enjoyed the book mainly because I am a huge NYY fan.
The subtitle specifically says:"the heart and soul...". I'm afraid that the book misses that very point.
Statistics are a major part of the baseball experience, and the book is full of statistics. I would have preferred to read more about them as teammates. Perhaps, more interesting anecdotes would have given a more personal touch.
I doubt there will ever be a more impactful foursome on any team ever. Their legacy is powerful.

A must read for any Yankees fan. It gives a great descriptive background on Andy, Derek, Mo, & Jorge and follows them through their careers. I also enjoyed the blurbs on the various teammates they had during their dynasty. I don't know if any team will ever produce such quality players and keep them in this manner ever again.
