...late this winter did Steinbrenner finally agree to talk to the author about his life. Unfortunately, the postscript that relates their nine-hour conversation does little besides confirm what Schaap has already made obvious: that the 51-year-old owner has always been obsessed with his public image and paranoid about his detractors...
