TALES OF THE BOSS, Part 24: @[email protected] asked how George Steinbrenner would’ve enjoyed a world of social media. In truth, he’d never have lost his fascination for the back page, but you’d be glued to your @GMSIII_TheBoss account, too.

Coach @[email protected] for the win! The Boss would’ve loved him, no questions asked.

TALES OF THE BOSS, Part 22: On NPR’s “Skin in the Game,” @[email protected] and @[email protected] asked if it ever seemed like writing about George Steinbrenner felt like urban mythology. It did. And I used an analogy Buffalo sports fans might appreciate.

“Bosses of the Bronx” origin story! On @[email protected] I spoke with @[email protected] and @[email protected] about why I chose to write a book about the Steinbrenner years with the #Yankees. Fun stuff.

TALES OF THE BOSS, Part 20: The #Mets won Tuesday night, ending a 12-game losing streak. The longest skid the #Yankees ever had on George Steinbrenner’s watch was 9, in the lost season of 1982. That must’ve been a fun time to be around The Boss.

On “The PosCast,” Michael Schur and Joe Posnanski asked about the twist of fate and quirk of law that may well have been the reason the Steinbrenner family was able to retain control of the #Yankees after the Boss’ passing.

On “Baseball Night in New York,” @[email protected] asked me for my favorite George/Billy/Reggie story. I’m partial to the time a well-timed newspaper strike spared a #Yankees PR man from the Boss’ wrath — and the unemployment line.

Coming soon, and thanks in large part to the kindness and wonderful word-of-mouth of so many of you, the second printing of #BossesOfTheBronx with a new addition at the top that, honestly, I’ll never grow tired of looking at.

TALES OF THE BOSS, Part 18: George Steinbrenner and I had very few things in common. One we definitely did: an affinity for making the back page.

TALES OF THE BOSS, Part 17: Darryl Strawberry benefited from George Steinbrenner’s second chances several times jn the 90s and from The Boss he learned the lesson of paying that kindness forward,as I detail in Tuesday’s New York Post.

On “Yankees Nation” @[email protected] asked about the Steinbrenner #Yankees origin story. From the money George Steinbrenner was introduced on Jan. 3, 1973 everything changed around the franchise.

Which group of #Yankees champs would George Steinbrenner say was his favorite, the ’70s vs the ’90s? Well, he always did enjoy sparring on the back page. Only one of those groups shared that amusement with him.

“New Orleans Yankees”? Historically jarring nickname. Could have happened if CBS went with the highest bidder instead of George Steinbrenner’s group, as I told @[email protected] on “Good Day New York.”

TALES OF THE BOSS, PART 14: Long before the newspaper folks thought to call George Steinbrenner by the more headline-friendly “BOSS,” that’s how he referred to himself because … of course he did.

Was looking at 2nd hand books, the "book club" sort of books, and found that #HollywoodMovies, #USStyle covers and "#NYTBestSeller listed" are now grouped by my aesthetic along with the #EntertainedTopNazis artists.
Doubtless #VonKarajan had musical talent. But so many others do too.
And they don't arrive with a heavy ethical burden.So I didn't buy any of the US-tainted books.
Wondering if this'll spread to the #PopMusic I listen to.

I've never bought a book bc it was a #NYT best seller #NYTBS . I've bought a lot of books in my life. Surely every book in the bookstore isn't a NYTBS.
But I get the feeling it's important to be a NYTBS if you're an author.
Can an author explain to me why?
Not sure about this reply from #veniceai

Great article (as usual) by @pluralistic on "bestselling" books, botshit, and bezzles:

Aside from all the death/funeral related content I consume, I typically read about 100 novels a year. Some stand apart from the others and bear multiple rereadings and recommendations. These are three, united by a theme of righteous feminine rage. They even follow a path through womanhood:
Nightbitch - the childbearing years, standing up against societal expectations and raging against the patriarchy
Lessons In Chemistry - the working mom years, standing up against societal expectations and raging against the patriarchy
The Change - the post menopausal years, standing up against societal expectations and raging against the patriarchy
I’m so glad books like this exist. I’m grateful to authors who prove that we can break free from internalized misogyny and embrace our rage. It’s not unfeminine to be angry, and we can be powerful at age stage of life.
Special thanks to Kirsten Miller (for the book mail and the kind words), Rachel Yoder (for responding to my fangirling and expressing interest in my own work), and Bonnie Garmus (whom I have not yet reached out to but admire nonetheless). Write on!

First questionable decision of 2023: I stayed up til 2am to finish reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. 😵💫 No regrets 😁
How have I not read this book already?! I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. It went far beyond the typical Hollywood love affairs and paparazzi I expected. There were recurring themes of loss, disenfranchised grief, and assisted death, plus interracial and LGBTQ relationships despite spanning a few decades that weren’t notable for acceptance. The author really drew me in and compelled me to keep reading. I *may* have teared up a bit at the end. Very well done.
Have you read this one? What did you think?
