As the strength and conditioning coach for the Yankees for parts of three decades, Jeff Mangold was firmly embedded in building the dynasty of the 1990s and 2000s. Mangold had a front-row seat to the daily drama of Steinbrenner's revolving door of managers—Yogi Berra, Billy Martin, and Lou Piniella—during his first stint with the team in the 1980s. Then, when he returned to the Yankees in 1998, he joined a juggernaut of a team and was tasked with maintaining the health of a star-studded roster including Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera.

 

In Power and Pinstripes: My Years Training the New York Yankees (Triumph Books, May 11, 2021), Mangold shares priceless stories from his 14 seasons behind the scenes in the Bronx, including:

 

  • A heartfelt foreword from 13-time All-Star and first-ballot Hall of Famer, Mariano Rivera, closer for the Yankees from 1995 to 2013
  • Working with the revolving door of Yankees managers during his first tenure with the team
  • How he ended up with Mike Piazza’s broken bat during the 2000 World Series
  • Personal tales of finding his way with stars like Dave Winfield and Ron Guidry and motivating personalities like David Wells
  • Mangold’s relationship with Yankees skipper Joe Torre during the team’s dynasty years of the early 2000s
  • Insight on the thorny scandal with Roger Clemens and other Yankees when they arrived at spring training with their own personal strength coaches in tow

 

Yankees fans will not want to miss Power and Pinstripes: My Years Training the New York Yankees, which gives readers a unique perspective on the franchise during one of baseball's most exciting and controversial eras.
