CLUBHOUSE CONFIDENTIAL: A YANKEE BAT BOY'S INSIDER TALE OF WILD NIGHTS, GAMBLING, AND GOOD TIMES WITH MODERN BASEBALL'S GREATEST TEAM By Luis Castillo & William Cane **Mint Condition**.
Reviews"Castillo goes by the name Luigi and it wasn't long before Jeter amended that to Squeegee...Castillo was in Fenway Park when fans threw bottles on the field and the game had to be stopped. He was in Atlanta when the Yankees won the first two games of the World Series. He had seen how the death of their fathers had affected Scott Brosius, Luis Sojo and Paul O'Neill. He was in Yankee Stadium Wednesday night, when Curtis caught the final out [of David Cone's perfect game]. --Buster Olney, New YorkTimes"A bat boy must be pretty famous if the fans in the bleachers chant his name." --Derek Jeter"He's a good kid, he's seen it all, and he's got good stories to tell." --David Cone
