    The 1980s New York Yankees were loaded with talent - their always-outspoken owner made sure of that. But somehow, someway, it did not all add up - resulting in one of the few decades in Yankees history that did not include at least one World Series championship. However, the '80s weren't a complete washout, as it contained quite a few classic Yankee moments, including a no-hitter, a 300th win for an eventual Hall of Fame pitcher, welcoming two of the biggest stars in all of baseball aboard, and the emergence of a popular, homegrown first baseman. 'Just Out of Reach: The 1980s New York Yankees' is the first-ever book to focus solely on this decade of the team. Featuring nearly 30 all-new, exclusive interviews with players and those close to the team, the book is a fly-on-the-wall view of what was going on behind the scenes and on the field. Set up in the oral history format, 'Just Out of Reach' reads like a documentary, but in book form.

    MLB.com - Paul Hagen
    "An absorbing recollection of now-it-can-be-told, behind-the-scenes flashbacks organized loosely by years and individual personalities. More than 25 observers, ranging from Hall of Famer [Goose] Gossage to role players such as Barry Foote and Brian Fisher, as well as a broadcaster, newspaper reporter, sports memorabilia store owner and a stand-up comedian who's a Yankees fan share their stories of an era that has been largely overlooked. Until now."
    Newsday - Neil Best
    "There is a clear nostalgia sweet spot for the book, namely Yankees fans younger than me who don't clearly recall the teams of the mid-to-late 1970s and those old enough to know Yankees history did not begin in 1996. Prato has assembled an impressive array of players from the era, many of whom don't mind being honest about those times now that enough years have gone by."
    PinstripePassion.com - Mike Lindsley
    "Greg's book signifies the 1980's to a tee. The compilation of interviews describes an ego-filled, frustrating time for Yankee fans that turned in the 90's, but unfortunately, didn't get our hero Don Mattingly a title in the 1980's."
    WFAN - Demetri Adarahtas
    "I think 'Just Out of Reach' is a great read for Yankees fans and baseball fans alike. It's also a really nice trip down nostalgia lane for anyone who grew up as a NY sports fan in the 80's."
