@kjcullinan 2) The more I think about it, the more I think Matt Christopher is a good way to go Plus, I don't see a good David Wright biography for kids

@nuccim I liked Mariano Rivera's book and Paul O'Neill's first book though they tell very different life stories Also Bill Madden on Steinbrenner and Robert Creamer or Leigh Montville on Babe Ruth. Jonathan Eig on Gehrig (My book's not a biography, but also consider The Yankees Index)
