The way home: My life with the Yankees

Now, in this anticipated book spanning great memories, Jorge Posada details his journey to the finish line, sharing a remarkable generational story of his journey from the ball fields of Puerto Rico to the house that Ruth built. Offering a behind-the-mask view unlike any other, Jorge analyzes the key moments and plays of the teams that forged a legacy that came to define the baseball Yankees for a generation. With "pitchbypitch" recall, Jorge looks back through the years, explaining how being part of the Core Four alongside Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, and Mariano Rivera helped reestablish the Yankees as a dynasty and win five World Series. Beyond his stellar career, Jorge also shares his life in its entirety for the first time, examining how his extraordinary journey to the big leagues began in the most unexpected ways. Digging into his cultural roots in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba, Jorge illuminates three generations of cherished father-son relationships that have made him the man he is today. At the center of this profound bond he shares with his father and namesake, Mr. Jorge, who escaped Cuba and eventually shaped his son into a ballplayer, honing his talent and instilling in him what was needed to fulfill his childhood dream of playing in the Bronx.
