DiManno is author of several books, including Glory Jays: Canada's World Series Champions, a 1993 book about The Toronto Blue Jays' World Series-winning season,[4] Rosie and the Leafs, a 2000 book about the Toronto Maple Leafs,[5] and Coach: The Pat Burns Story, a biography of National Hockey League Pat Burns.[6]
