Book excerpt: For generations becoming a major league all-star pitcher and playing for the New York Yankees have been wishful dreams for millions of hopeful young boys. The number who actually realized either of those dreams is extremely small. Jim Coates is one of the few who accomplished both and reached the pinnacle of Major League Baseball as a World Series Champion. Along the way, he was forced to face many painful hardships, disappointments and criticism, which all served to strengthen him and make him even more determined to come out on top. Always a Yankee is the inspirational story of a man who rose above his humble beginnings and made the most of the talents he was given.
