"""If you're a Yankees or Mets fan, there's a lot here for you.""—Andy McCue, NINE: A Journal of Baseball History and Culture ""Road to Nowhere is an excellent history of NYC baseball in the early 1990s. With its thorough use of primary and secondary sources, it should be of interest to baseball history scholars and baseball fans alike.""—Anastasia L. Pratt, Journal of Popular Culture “The battle for New York has always been a rich part of the city’s baseball tapestry, and there was a time it seemed the Mets would own its soul forever. In Chris Donnelly’s meticulously reported and wonderfully written book Road to Nowhere we learn just how the Yankees regained their swagger—and, just as important, their sway over the best baseball town of all.”—Mike Vaccaro, New York Post columnist and author of 1941: The Greatest Year in Sports “What a gift Chris Donnelly has given to baseball fans in New York and all those who live and die with the Mets and Yankees. Road to Nowhere is an insider’s look, chock-full of entertaining anecdotes and revealing details based on extensive research, of the period in the early and mid-nineties when the Big Apple became a Yankees town once again. Colorful, legendary characters abound in a delicious tale of baseball in Queens and the Bronx.”—Andrew Maraniss, author of Singled Out: The True Story of Glenn Burke “Chris Donnelly is an utmost authority on New York baseball during the 1990s. In Road to Nowhere, he has written the definitive book tying in the end of a mostly glorious 1980s decade. . . . It is a beautifully written book with plenty of fresh content from those who played on these two New York teams. A must-read for any baseball fan interested in that period.”—Erik Sherman, author of Two Sides of Glory: The 1986 Boston Red Sox in Their Own Words"
