The Yankees: An Authorized History of the New York Yankees

Rating:
Summary: Great pictures, however, too many mistakes in information!
Review: Being a Yankees fan, I could not wait to get my hands on this book. This book apparently wasn't reviewed too well by the editors, or whoever. The first two page picture of Ruth, Gehrig, Combs, and Lazzeri has a caption stating "1931 World Series"; a page with Gehrig, Lazzeri, and Meusel's pictures on it incorrectly identifies Meusel (stating Mark Koenig); Gehrig's 1927 salary was $7,500, not $8,000 as stated; the regulars on the 1927 team batted .327, not .320; etc. The book has great pictures, but as for the actual information, it lacks a tremendous amount of accuracy.
