Also discussed are major developments in the way baseball management throughout the years changed from a batting average focused market to the in-depth statistical-based approach centered on base-percentage, as well as covering issues such as the "Steroids Era". Torre has received criticism for revealing certain things that went on in the clubhouse after he emphasized loyalty between Yankee personnel. In the book, Torre said he felt that Cashman "betrayed" him in negotiations with the Yankees following the 2007 season. Torre also stated that teammates had referred to Alex Rodriguez as "A-Fraud." In response to the criticism, Torre said he was proud of the book and he did not violate the sanctity of the clubhouse.
