What would you do if you discovered that a colleague of yours was cheating? And what if that colleague, in this case a fellow umpire, was your mentor who taught you everything you know by guiding you, advising you, even berating you when necessary. In short, caring for you. Do you expose the truth or do you shut your eyes?

UMPIRES is not your typical sports film. While it does present the game of baseball from the point of view of the men behind the mask, it is primarily about character, betrayal and ethics.

My Life in Yankee Stadium is a peek behind the scenes from a vendor who worked 2500 games at the world’s most famous ballpark. The quirky co-workers, the bizarre assortment of fans, and the character of New York City itself all come alive as Zully gives the unique perspective that only an insider has. Also an actor, Zully shares funny and entertaining stories about various celebrities as well, whether on a movie set or in the stands.

“As a life-long Dodger fan, I found My Life in Yankee Stadium a great read. It is funny, heartwarming and a great look at baseball from the perspective of the guy selling refreshments. You will love this book!” …Larry King

“EVERYTHING, and more, much more, about Zully the Zany, a ballpark vendor, actor, and lover, who worked alongside Ali, Pope John II, U2, not to mention the time he gave Dustin Hoffman a beer and got a Broadway audition.”…-Dave Kindred, author and legendary sportswriter

“A GREAT read!”…Ron Blomberg, former Yankee and author

"An excellent writer...Interesting entry into the stadium...Great anecdotes."…Stephen Phillips… Host of the Leadoff Spot on MLB NetworkRadio Sirius XM.

“Most interesting… an honest memoir… hilarious…extremely well-written. I didn’t think a vendor’s stories could take up so many pages or be so interesting, but that’s what I think makes a good book -- when someone surprises me -- and he did.  Great job!…Judge, 27th Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards

“If you think you know everything about the Yankees, this is the last frontier. Stewart J. Zully entertainingly unveils all that goes on behind the scenes, getting peanuts, popcorn and Cracker Jack to hungry Yankee Stadium customers. It’s a profession as old as baseball, of which we knew little unless we worked there. Now, we know it all.” …Marty Appel, NY Yankees public relations 1968-77, author
