Olney almost had a minor confrontation with a Yankee prospect at the time known more for his football play, Deion Sanders.

Olney had attempted to do a piece on Sanders, but was blown off.

In return, Olney wrote what he called later in his career an unflattering piece on Sanders.

Sanders replied to Olney by writing on a baseball "Keep writing like that your whole life and you'll always be a loser."

2001

The book also considered why the team lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2001 World Series and why it didn't win a championship between 2001 and 2003.

Since leaving the Times, Olney has become a constant on the ESPN family of networks.
