The visiting clubhouse in San Diego was soggy, sweaty and sticky after the 1998 Yankees swept the Padres in four games and celebrated winning their 24th World Series title. The players raised bottles of Champagne, sprayed the bubbly on each other and reveled in a baseball season that might have been more memorable than any in history. Jack Curry was part of that unforgettable scene as a reporter, navigating around the clubhouse to ask the same, pertinent question.

Keenum shares stories from every stage of his life, starting out as a ball boy for his father’s college team in West Texas, going on to win a state title in high school, and rewriting the NCAA record book at the University of Houston. A devastating knee injury almost derailed his football career, but helped him get closer to the woman who would soon become his wife.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Andrew Marotta uses short athletic stories to drive home leadership principles. Having a story that you can remember to help you lock the leadership principles in your mind is huge. This book is enjoyable, and you will learn something in the process. From my perspective as NCAA National Coordinator of Officials, using officiating related stories has the added benefit of allowing the listener to know that officials are real people too. Enjoy the book; I know I did." (J.D. Collins, NCAA National Coordinator of Officials)

Who would have guessed that such different men could have become such a tightly bonded pair? Few did guess it. Now Russell tells it.
