The Yankee Princess, written by Jennie Paul tells the inside story behind Gabe Paul’s NY Yankees, Cleveland Indians, Cincinnati Reds and Houston Astros in the context of their love/hate story in this first ever biography on her Dad.

PR Newswire — December 4, 2009

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ — Four-time Baseball Hall of Fame Nominee Gabe Paul owned and ran four major league baseball teams and is directly responsible for as many pennants–3 for the NY Yankees and one for the Cincinnati Reds. The Father Daughter connection in this love hate story about a woman coming into her own as her Dad was making his dream to own and run a winning baseball team come true, combined with the inside story on George Steinbrenner, Reggie Jackson, Howard Cosell, Billy Martin and Catfish Hunter make a great story that will appeal to baseball fans, reporters, historians, and men who relate better to baseball than their daughters.

Peter Golenbock will be writing the foreword for The Yankee Princess, written by Jennie Paul with Jody Lynn Smith, and it is expected to be released during Spring Training 2010. It will correct many misconceptions about what really happened when Gabe Paul helped the Yankees reverse a 15-year losing streak with two successive World Series wins and one championship loss to his first team,the Reds. This legacy-making accomplishment would not be repeated until the year he died and Joe Torre secured his first of three wins.

Thoroughly researched and inclusive of first-hand real life accounts, conversations, personal letters and newspaper clippings, it will win over the fans and help fathers and daughters find new ways to accept each others’ strengths and weaknesses, while enjoying one of America’s greatest past times.

Gabe Paul is widely known for his uncanny ability in filling seats and running teams like the Indians and the Reds on a cleat string, while leading the way in trades that won ballgames and rule changes that made the sport what it is today. He was an advocate for night baseball, the dissolution of the reserve clause, dividing the leagues into divisions, allowing designated hittes and requiring players to bring their gloves in from the field.
