Scorned skipper Joe Torre is blasting the Yankees - calling many of his former players prima donnas, confessing he stopped trusting the powers that be years before he left the team and charging that general manager Brian Cashman betrayed him. In an explosive new book called "The Yankee Years," Torre gets most personal in his attacks against Alex Rodriguez, who he says was called "A-Fraud" by his teammates after he developed a "Single White Female"-like obsession with team captain Derek Jeter and asked for a personal clubhouse assistant to run errands for him. Link I'm a little surprised seeing Torre come out with this book now, but he's earned the right to say what he wants about the Yankees. The way Torre's contract and departing with the Yankees was not a clean cut and could have been handled a lot better. Just another reason to hate the Yankees.
No reasons are needed by Yankee haters. A book about how great and good things were wouldn't sell 20 copies.
I'm sure all the info is legit and true. I'm just not a fan of tell-all books. It can't be that people are suprised about the things Torre is bringing up.
