Everyone has something to prove

In the summer of `77, New York was a city in crisis. Terrorized by the Son of Sam serial killer, divided by a bitter mayor's race and devastated by rampant arson and looting following a paralyzing citywide blackout, the Big Apple found renewed hope and inspiration in the on-and-off field exploits of baseball's most storied franchise, The New York Yankees. Although deeply embroiled in an explosive three-way power struggle between meddlesome owner George Steinbrenner (Oliver Platt), combative manager Billy Martin (John Turturro) and egocentric superstar slugger Reggie Jackson (Daniel Sanjata), the Yankees managed to overcome their personality clashes and capture their first World Series championship in 15 years and, in doing so, helped win the hearts of New Yorkers struggling to recover from the most tumultuous year in the city's history. Based on the best selling novel, this inspiring 8-part miniseries is jam-packed with gripping drama and excitement.
