10 of the Yankee Secrets Revealed in this Tell-All Book
1) Steinbrenner installed at least 7 ‘live’ video cameras hidden in the ceiling of the team’s clubhouse to spy on his team and employees.
2) On-duty stadium cops (NYPD) gambled with players and employees in after-hours poker and blackjack games in the clubhouse.
3) Batboys aged 14 & 15 were routinely sent to the off-track betting office to place bets on horse races for team manager Joe Torre & coach Don Zimmer.
4) A batboy linked to a bookie regularly placed wagers on sports events for players and employees during game days in the clubhouse, using a phone connected to the stadium switchboard.
5) Employees including batboys forged autographs for players who refused to sign baseballs; they also had a black market for forged baseballs.
6) Some players injected themselves with steroids in clubhouse toilet stalls. A few players provided urine samples for players being tested for steroids.
7) Some players, married or not, engaged in sexual activities with female stadium employees, security guards and groupies on the stadium premises.
8) Two players were once found engaging in homosexual activity in the clubhouse sauna at the end of their first season with the team.
9) Neither the players nor Steinbrenner paid for the food consumed by the players in the clubhouse; Nick Priore paid for all of it but was never reimbursed.
10) Steinbrenner condoned his players smoking pot and drinking on charter flights on road trips, whatever made them happy; some players drank in the clubhouse before, during and after games.
