Touching All the Bases
Few athletes have lived a story as riveting—and as revealing—as Dave Winfield. In Touching All the Bases, the Hall of Famer pulls back the curtain on his life in the game, giving an unvarnished account of his childhood in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the bright lights of Yankee Stadium, where his decade-long clash with owner George Steinbrenner became one of the most infamous feuds in sports history.
This is not just another baseball memoir—it’s a reckoning with power, loyalty, commitment, and the costs of standing tall when others expect you to bow. -
