# 6: October Men
October Men: Reggie Jackson, George Steinbrenner, Billy Martin, and the Yankees' Miraculous Finish in 1978 by Roger Kahn
A baseball book, written by the great Roger Kahn (Boys of Summer). Lots of it is about Roger Kahn and all the ballplayers, managers, executives, and sportswriters that he knows. And the rest of it is about the 1978 New York Yankees. I got the book for my Dad, a huge baseball and Yankees fan, and read it on the way down to Buenos Aires.
It was a light, good read. I am fascinated by sports and getting an inside glimpse into such classics as Billy Martin, Reggie Jackson and Thurman Munson is always good fun. It reminded me quite a bit about when I first learned about baseball from my dad - I mean the year after this one was the seminal one in my baseball history: the 1979 World Series champ Pittsburgh Pirates! "We are a family"
