George purchased the team for $8.8 million and quickly became known as \"The Boss\"--a hands-on owner whose relentless pursuit of victory defined an era. Under his leadership, the Yankees captured seven World Series championships, became a global sports brand, and consistently dominated the sports pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet as veteran \u003cem\u003eNew York Post\u003c\/em\u003e columnist Mike Vaccaro reveals, the story of the Steinbrenners and their team is much bigger and more complex--a drama of Shakespearian proportions, combining tragedy and great comedy. In this charming book written with all the candor and verve of the best press box reporting, he goes beyond the headlines to chronicle the complete saga--from the times King George went mad and was eventually banned to how Prince Hal, living in the long shadow of his father, has struggled to put his own unique stamp on the Pinstripe realm. He chronicles the infamous headline-making disputes between the team's managers and its mercurial owner, a man whose autocratic disposition would eventually get him banned from the game and earn him a place in pop culture lore with the hit sitcom \u003cem\u003eSeinfeld.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fun and wild remembrance of innings past for every Yankee fan and a must-read grudge list for every Yankee hater, \u003cem\u003eThe Bosses of the Bronx\u003c\/em\u003e is a larger-than-life true tale of success, suffering, sacrifice, and downright silliness that captures this great franchise and the game of baseball itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Vaccaro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.39w x 1.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780063414778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2026 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eVaccaro, Mike:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Vaccaro\u003c\/strong\u003e has been the lead sports columnist for the \u003cem\u003eNew York Post\u003c\/em\u003e since November 2002.
