Billy Martin

Baseball's Flawed Genius

Bill Pennington

The life of baseball icon Billy Martin is explored in this New York Times bestseller by Bill Pennington. Despite his reputation for brawls and rabble-rousing, Martin was widely considered a baseball genius. In this intimate and endlessly colorful story, Pennington delves deeply into Martin's hardscrabble youth, his time on the Yankees in the 1950s, and his 16 years of managing. Drawing on exhaustive interviews and personal experience covering Martin as a young sportswriter, Pennington provides a thorough and fascinating portrait of a true larger-than-life sportsman.
