"""I could almost feel my hair growing; almost like my head was on fire,"" David Cone said of the eighth inning of his perfect game. ""The emotions just knowing this is my last chance.""I looked myself in the mirror. I went into the clubhouse.
I changed jerseys every inning. I had cut-off T-shirts that I would change every inning. Did the same thing in the ninth.""This is your last chance.
Don't let it slip away. Get it done.""It was incredible. I was pacing around the clubhouse.
Usually there are clubhouse kids, coaches running in and out. But it was just a dead city. Everybody had scattered.
This was just me in the mirror, looking back at each other.""That's what Game of My Life: 20 Stories of Yankees Baseball is about, 20 Yankees looking into the mirror for moments that reflect their favorite game and just what made them come through to capture their piece of the pinstriped tradition.Most of the Yankees' biggest names and games are here, like Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto, Reggie Jackson, all the way to Derek Jeter, Paul O'Neill and Joe Torre. Through personal narration as well as a look at the events surrounding the individual games, these Yankees offer you a look inside at just what has made them the most successful franchise in sports history.Often, the tales are personal, such as Torre overcoming an abusive father, Yogi hitting two home runs for his hospitalized mother or Jorge Posada capturing the career that escaped his father, a political prisoner in Cuba. Jackson wouldn't limit his choice to the obvious three-home run game, instead thoughtfully reviewing an entire year that challenged him as a player and person, the brash star butting heads with his new Yankee teammates and manager Billy Martin, who Jackson once told ""all that drinking must be going to your head"" during a dugout confrontation.There are surprise picks and behind-the-scenes looks at some of the biggest moments the Yankees have had, including the classic showdowns with Boston in '78 and 2003, Don Larsen's perfect game and O'Neill's Yankee Stadium good-bye at a time the city clung to the things it had known a month after the Sept.
11 terrorist attacks. When these Yankees look in the mirror to explore their favorite games, they come out telling you what made them like the reflection, even if some of their choices may surprise you.2004. 266 Pages"
