United States Of Baseball - Thoughts on the State of the Game

Advance Praise / Early Reviews

"A great book for those Yankee fans who aren't afraid to think differently about things they thought they knew . . . a must read."

-Ross Sheingold, 'New Stadium Insider'

"Interesting, fascinating . . . check out this book!"

-Ron Barr, Sports Byline USA

"One of the most original, thought-provoking Yankee books I’ve ever read. Great job, great read."

-Larry Millian, WSPL Miami

"I can’t say I agree with everything in it, but there’s no doubt that this one is excellent. Well worth any Yankee fan’s read."

-Rich Marazzi, ‘Inside Yankee Baseball’

"Simply one of the most fun, readable baseball books I’ve ever come across. ‘The Truth About Ruth (And More)’ is terrific."

-Vinny Aceto, WNYC

"‘The Truth About Ruth (And More)’ is breezy and light, yet extremely informative. It explodes many of the myths that have formed around the team over the years, but it also confirms many of the things I had suspected . . . all of the arguments are backed up by solid research and statistics, yet never gets bogged down in minutiae."

-Chris Lucas, YES Network

"Peter Handrinos' detailed account of Yankee history is chuck-a-buck full of terrific tidbits and fun-filled facts. It's also a terrific work of journalism."

-Peter Golenbock, author of 'The Bronx Zoo' and 'George'

"Yankees fans should really enjoy this."

-Dave Pinto, 'Baseball Musings'

"The book will appeal to Yankee fans of any age demographic. Old school can revisit what they think they know. New school gets a dose of memory lane. It's all good."

-Mark Serio, 'Baseball Hot Corner'

"Informative, fun . . . perfect for Yankee fans of all ages. I've already recommended it to several family members and friends."

-Dan LaTorraca, 'Pinstripes, PA'

"Anyone with an open mind and an interest in opinion- favorable or not- will enjoy reading ‘The Truth About Ruth (And More)’. This is a fresh and easy to read yet also engaging and informative."

-Steve Lombardi, 'Was Watching'

"I thoroughly enjoyed the book. You can tell that Handrinos did some thorough research and does an excellent job of keeping emotion away from facts. There's no doubt that he's a Yankee fan, but that does not make him get too sentimental, and that's what makes this book great."

-Roberto Alejandro
