More Steinbrenner Biographies On The Way

Via the Philly Inquirer:

New York Daily News columnist Bill Madden has signed a "major league deal with HarperCollins to do the definitive portrait" of Yankees boss George Steinbrenner, says the News. Not to be outdone, Random House has signed novelist Norris Church, who was married to Norman Mailer for 32 years, to write another bio of G.S.

Looks like Peter Golenbock will have some company. I would love to see someone like Kevin Kerrane or John Helyar do a book on Big Stein too.

Actually, the guy who should write the book on George is Gene Monahan. He's the only guy to be with the Yankees during every single year that Steinbrenner owned the team. And, I'm sure he knows things that no one else knows. Now, Monahan doing a tell-all would be something - but, it will never happen...at least, not in the near future.

Didn't I read somewhere that Gene Monahan was summoned by George to give give him shots of B12 (in the ass). As I recall George would even have Monahan do this while George had people in his office.
