The New York Yankees. One hundred seasons of baseball. One hundred years of tradition. Lavishly illustrated with more than 175 photographs, many from the Yankees own archives, some never seen before, this dazzling volume captures a century of baseball with the Bronx Bombers-the glorious championships, intense rivalries, and unparalleled players who have thrilled millions of fans year after year. From the record-breaking 1927 Yankees with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig to the ongoing legacy of Joe Torre and his four World Series victories, here is an inimitable portrait of America's team. Taking you where no other book has gone before-onto the field and into the bullpens and locker rooms-this winning book features notable essays by leading writers like Leonard Koppett and Robert Creamer, along with dozens of candid, first-person accounts and reminiscences from the players themselves. Specially designed by Rare Air Books, the company that produced Michael Jordan's bestseller For The Love of the Game, this amazing tribute is brimming with some of the most astonishing athletes and accomplishments ever-including Joe DiMaggio's fifty-six game hit streak, Roger Marris' sixty-one homers, and Mickey Mantle's Triple Crown season. Like the Yankees themselves, this book is sure to be a classic.
