Jorge Posada has come out with a new book on his career with the Yankees. Check out the link below from today’s New York Daily News:
SU was always a big Jorge fan. Tough guy, really cared about winning and losing, played with a lot of heart and fire. From the attached article, you can see that he was not a happy camper the last few years, and he was especially unhappy having Joe Girardi as his manager. He took the catcher’s job from Girardi in the late 1990s and he clearly did not enjoy playing for him at the tail end of his career.
But way too much whining about batting lower in the order, not being allowed to catch anymore, no team spirit, etc. Writing a book like this only tarnishes his image and makes him look bad. Fans were left with a very postiive view of him as a “true Yankee” (whatever that means) and a warrior. It is good to see that he still hates Pedro Martinez.
SU says leave with class. Not everyone gets to have the lovefest in their last season like Mariano and Jeter. This book was a mistake.

Unfortunately, I think that these days the publishers insist that the author include some sort of “dirt”, so they can use that more controversial content as a marketing tool. It works; look what we’re talking about. My guess is that material of the type cited in the article is a very small percentage of the book.
We read Posada’s other book in my house: http://www.amazon.com/Play-Ball-Jorge-Posada/dp/141699825X/ref=la_B001JRXJC4_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1431396932&sr=1-1
Much more positive.
