Description:

Love 'em or hate 'em, the Yankees have been as much a part of the October World Series landscape as falling leaves. This comprehensive, year-by-year history of baseball's most storied franchise is a treasure trove of breezy writing, nostalgic photography, thorough bibliography, and enough team statistics to overload a disk drive. Yet what puts The Yankees in a league of its own is its magnificent series of essays on some of the most colorful personalities ever to stride onto a ball field by some of the best scribes ever to haunt a press box: Grantland Rice on Babe Ruth, Paul Gallico on Lou Gehrig, Red Smith on Casey Stengel, and that's just the start. It's this kind of packaging that's making Temple University Press's Baseball in America and Baseball Encyclopedia series--the lineup also includes volumes on the Cubs, White Sox, Phillies, Braves, and Indians--real winners.
