From the Publisher:

When they write the story of the 1996 World Series don't be surprised if they write about the heart of a champion, like the Atlanta Braves, who year after year return to the fall Classic, of the strength of the best starting pitchers in Baseball. And the New York Yankees - a clever mix of youth and veterans - gritty, resilient and very likeable. Don't be caught off guard if the heroics of Bernie Williams and Jim Leyritz are recanted - or the medical miracle that brought David Cone from the operating room to the most important start of his career. The brilliance of Smoltz, Maddux and Glavine will be documentated - but so too will the efforts of Rivera, Wetteland and Lloyd.

When they write this story, don't be surprised if they mention Joe Torre - returning to his New York city roots to be in a World Series for the first time in his 4200 game career. Or his brother, Frank, who incredibly received a long awaited heart transplant on the eve of the decisive game six. When they write the story of the 1996 World Series, it will tell how the Yankees came to captivate a city by battling back from a 2-games-to-none deficit, to win four straight against the defending World Champions for its 23rd World title - it's first since 1978.

Yes, when they write this story, it will be about the heart of a champion. This is that story.
