About This Book
The Bronx Zoo is Lyle's best-selling, highly-acclaimed collaboration with Peter Golenbock that, when originally release in 1979, was favorably compared with Jim Bouton's groundbreaking Ball Four as a hilarious but scathing baseball tell-all. Lyle was the 1977 American League Cy Young Award winner. His reward the next season? Being sent to the bench. The Yankees, the leader in the infancy (and today) of free agency, signing Goose Gossage as their closer. Things only went downhill from there and the 1978 season turned out to be one of controversy, firings, fights and acrimony. In short, it was a zoo. Like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Bronx Zoo doesn't lose anything over the years—it, in fact, improves with age.
