| | Amazon.com: The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty: The Game, the Team, and the Cost of Greatness: Books: Buster Olney (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | Olney argues that the Yankee dynasty teams chose players not just for their talent, but for their fit and interaction with the team while in recent years, it has focused simply on stats. |
 | | One of the remaining Yankees, Derek Jeter, is quoted bemoaning at the end: "It's not the same team." Olney makes a convincing case for that non-quantifiable game element known as team chemistry, both its presence from 1996-2001 and its absence thereafter. |
 | | Nonetheless, an excellent account of the team by a man with a great baseball mind, as well as one who came to know the Yankee team of 1996-2001, its glorious run, and the internicine feuds that often divided members of that unforgettably dominant team. |
