My Untold Story about the Games People Play

There are very few major personalities in the world of sports who have so much to say about our National Pastime. And even fewer who are as well respected as Bill White.

Bill White, who's now in his early 70s, was an All-Star first baseman for many years with the St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies before launching a stellar broadcasting career with the New York Yankees for 18 years. He left the broadcast booth to become the President of the National League for five years.

A true pioneer as an African-American athlete, sportscaster and top baseball executive, White has written his long-awaited autobiography in which he will be candid, open and as always, most forthcoming about his life in baseball. Along the way, White shares never-before-told stories about his long working relationship with Phil Rizzutto, insights on George Steinbrenner, Barry Bonds, Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson, Bob Gibson, Bart Giamatti, Fay Vincent and scores of other top baseball names and Hall of Famers.

Best of all, White built his career on being outspoken and the years fortunately have not mellowed him.

UPPITY is a baseball memoir that baseball fans everywhere will be buzzing about.
