Joey Gmerek (Author photograph). xii, [2], 288, [2]. Index. Embossed stamp of previous owner on rep. Sports writer Richard Lally focusses much of his efforts on his main passion: baseball. After collaborating with former pro player Bill Lee on Lee's autobiography, The Wrong Stuff, Lally wrote Pinstriped Summers: Memories of Yankee Seasons Past, a book that focuses on the team's history from the time the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) bought the team in 1965 until the 1982 season. During this period, the Yankees experienced great success, winning four American League pennants and two World Series. They also experience "down" years, including a last-place finish in 1966. In Long Balls, No Strikes: What Baseball Must Do to Keep the Good Times Rolling Lally collaborates with former player-turned-television commentator Joe Morgan to discuss the growing popularity of baseball during the 1998 season as the home-run competition to break Roger Maris's record grew between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. The book also suggests changes to the sport, including increasing the number of blacks in management, seeking new talent in the inner cities, and having teams share profits equally. Lalley turned his focus to the Yankees once again with his book Bombers: An Oral History of the New York Yankees, this time covering the team from Babe Ruth's arrival in 1920 to the 2000 World Series championship team. In an interview with Lally, Rob Neyer asked how Lally avoids the pitfall of rehashing old stories. "To make the cut for the book, a story had to offer a fresh perspective on an event or player," Lally explained. No sports team in history has a following quite like the New York Yankees. And with good reason. With thirty-seven pennants and twenty-five World Series victories, the Yankees aren't just the most successful baseball team of all time, they're the most successful franchise in the history of sports. Featuring more than one hundred authentic voices from Yankee history, Bombers tells their colorful history, from the unparalleled abilities and appetites of Babe Ruth to the professional excellence that characterizes the current dynasty. Here you'll find stories about all the Yankee legends, including DiMaggio, Mantle, Maris, Martin, and Jackson, as well as new information about current key figures like Jeter and O'Neill. Bombers is the story of the team as recalled by the people who actually created the history. Through painstaking research and probing interviews, Lally reveals the real story behind Ruth's called shot and the truth about the Giants' sign stealing in the '51 Series, and offers a new perspective on the 2000 Subway Series. Yankee fans will love Bombers, but this is a book for all baseball fans, one that illuminates baseball history the way it happened on the field, in the stands, and in the hearts of players and fans., Crown Publishers, 2002, 3, NY: Vehicle Editions, 1978. 1st Edition .

Satisfaction Guaranteed. "I wish to provide an honest portrait of myself and of my times so that you judge for yourself what kind of man I am. "My name is Joe Bonanno, I am seventy-eight years old and a grandfather. I've often been described as a gangster, a racketeer, a mobster. . . "I'm supposed to be, or to have been, or to have wanted to be the 'boss of all bosses' . . . whatever that means. At one time or another, I have been accused of trying to 'take over' New York, California, Arizona, Wisconsin, Colorado, Alaska, and choice provinces of Mexico and Canada too. "Whatever your opinion of me, the truth is that I am the last survivor of an extinct species and of a bygone way of life. I have known people from both extremes of life. I have seen virtue and I have seen depravity. My life is full of ironies. Very often, when I review my life and juxtapose all its diverse elements, all I can do is laugh - the sardonic laughter of one who has seen much and has lived to tell the story. It was a triumph in itself to have survived the Volcano - my figurative name for New York City. Most of the old boys died in the conflagration. I'm still here." With these words begins the autobiography of Joseph Bonanno. There have been countless fictional and imaginative accounts of life within that "society of honor" in which Bonanno has been for over fifty years a controversial, major figure and played a dominant and often decisive role. But never before has one of the most famous and powerful men in that shadowy, fascinating world which outsiders have come to call "the Mafia," or dismissed as "organized crime," told his own detailed and unvarnished life story. Here is the autobiography of the man who has been called "the Father of Fathers" and whose career spans the era from the roaring twenties - the time of Capone, Masseria, Maranzano, Prohibition, and the Castellammarese War - to the present. Bonanno gives an extraordinary and intimate picture of that Sicillian society in which he came of age: a society of terrible pride, of deeply rooted traditions, of vendetta and omerta, of violence and sudden death. Bonanno explains the history of that tradition and way of life - his own father left a seminary in Sicily to avenge his brother - which he writes of with pride as "a society of men of honor and respect." He describes his role in establishing "The Bonanno Family" in Brooklyn, and his rise to a position of power among the Five Families of New York - and eventually in the national affairs of "the other Fathers" of his world. He deals in detail with the workings and the rivalries of "The Commission," and tells for the first time the inside story of the Apalachin meeting - and of his own kidnapping by the rival Family of his cousin Stefano Magaddino, which is and was a front-page news and drama. He explains the intrigues behind the murder of Albert Anastasia; and he gives the reader the whole complex history of the change that took place in his tradition with the rise to power of Charlie "Lucky" Luciano who, in contrast to other Fathers, treated "the Tradition" as a business - a development that brought to an end the Families' longstanding opposition to narcotics. His cast of characters includes such figures as Joseph Kennedy, Frank Costello, Vito Genovese, Joseph Profaci, Willie Moretti, Tommy Lucchese, "Lucky" Luciano, Carolo Gamibo - and all the men Bonanno respected, or opposed, or took counsel with over the years. Bonanno narrates in detail: *his beginnings in America, in the era of Prohibition. . . *his experiences as a "soldier" and right-hand man of Maranzano, during the Castellammarese War. . . *the attempt to ambush Al Capone's men in a New York office building. . . *the uneasy truce after the murder of Maranzano, and the attempt by Luciano to subordinate the Bonanno Family to his own. . . *the "trial" of Tommy Lucchese before the Commission. . . *the efforts of Stefano Magaddino, through the Commission, to discredit Bonanno and control his Family. . . Finally, he tells the story of his own life: his family, his decision to retire to Arizona, the long difficult years during which he and his sons have been the target of continuing investigation and controversy. A Man of Honor illuminates for the first time that "closed" society which, however much it is feared and misunderstood by outsiders and the federal government, represented an expression of the deepest ethnic roots of the Sicilian people, who brough to America their own traditions, in which loyalty, honor and family ties were paramount - and death the ultimate sanction for failure to respect them..

Joseph Bonanno provides a unique view of life inside the Mafia, describing the organization and its important figures and his vision of this closed society as a confederacy of men of honor. Joseph Charles Bonanno (born Giuseppe Carlo Bonanno; January 18, 1905 - May 11, 2002), sometimes referred to as Joe Bananas, was an Italian-American crime boss of the Bonanno crime family, which he ran from 1931 to 1968. Bonanno was born in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily. At the age of three, Bonanno immigrated to New York City with his family, for about 10 years before he moved back to Italy. He later slipped back into the United States in 1924, by stowing away on a fishing boat bound for Florida. After the Castellammarese War Bonanno took control of most of the crime family, and at age 26, Bonanno became one of the youngest-ever bosses of a crime family. In 1963, Bonanno made plans with Joseph Magliocco to assassinate several rivals on the Mafia Commission. When Magliocco gave the contract to one of his top hit men, Joseph Colombo, he revealed the plot to its targets. The Commission forced Magliocco into retirement, while Bonanno fled to Canada. In 1964, he briefly returned to New York before disappearing until 1966. The "Banana War" ensued and lasted until 1968, when Bonanno retired to Arizona. Derived from a Kirkus review: "Where judgment of my conduct is concerned, I'll take my chances with God." That's really the bottom line of this no-regrets autobiography of the man who served for close to 40 years as "Father" of a New York-based organized crime family. Bonanno paints himself as "the last survivor of an extinct species and of a bygone way of life." He may well be right. Born into a "leading family" of the Castellammare area of Sicily, expelled from an Italian merchant marine academy three years later, the young Bonanno landed in America, an illegal immigrant, and rapidly made his way up through the ranks of the Maranzano "family" amid the chaos of the gangland "Castellammare War," becoming Father of his own family in 1931 at the age of 26. Bonanno always considered himself a man "of the old Tradition," whose family operated on certain firm principles irrespective of what the law said or where a fast buck could be made: e.g., no dealing in narcotics or prostitution, no shooting of police or reporters. As the decades passed, this conservative style became less in tune with that of other members of the "Commission," the quasi-official ruling body of the Sicilian crime families. Commission members had to be on their toes: quite apart from the slings and arrows of normal political maneuvering, one could easily wind up dead. Bonanno's impressions of some of the dramatis personae: Capone--a non-Sicilian and "never representative of our Tradition;" Luciano--"the forerunner of things to come"; Gambino--"a squirrel of a man, a servile and cringing individual"; Valachi--"an unreliable interpreter of events." By the Sixties, Bonanno felt that the old Tradition "deteriorated. . . and became a byword for gangsterism. . . a grotesque parody of itself," and he began spending more time at the Tucson home to which, after several heart attacks, he later retired. Bonanno confesses to nothing (he calls his recent conviction a case of "speculation based on circumstantial evidence"). But there are some fine small snapshots in this personal album: the young Bonanno taking his future father-in-law for a spin in his roadster, with his bride-to-be relegated to the rumble seat; the kidnapped Bonanno interrogated for months in a remote farmhouse by his cousin, the Buffalo family leader, an erstwhile Commission ally; the on-the-lam Bonanno, cornered by his own German Shepherd, who no longer recognizes him; the devout Bonanno, chatting with Billy Graham. Despite some stiff prose here and there: valuable as an insider's political history of the New York mob--and impressive as a personal statement by a man who, within the context of his Tradition, feels he has earned the book's title., Books<
