"Let me start by saying that the 1978 Yankees are my favorite baseball team ever. I was 13 in 1978, and these guys were my heroes. I read this book when it first came out in 1979, and loved it. Sparky was the "good guy", Reggie and George were the "bad guys." But now, reading it as an adult, Sparky was no hero either. Leaving the stadium during a game without permission, showing up late for spring training, certainly not the hero I'd seen him as in my youth.
That being said, his humor is engaging and he certainly pulls no punches. As a nice counterpoint to this book, I'd recommend Roger Kahn's "October Men" which an unbiased observers take on the '78 Yankees (and done by an accomplished author)."
"Spary Lyle's diary of the Yankees 1978 Season was not nearly as entertaining as Jim Bouton's "Ball Four", and his details of the 1969 season (only season) for the Seattle Pilots."
