The Complete NEW YORK YANKEES (Leather, 2001) Derek Gentile (Easton Press)

Description: The Complete New York Yankees is a colossal collection of anything and everything you could ever want to know about the legendary Bronx Bombers. With comprehensive statistics for every Yankee who's ever played the game, along with fascinating stories, lists and biographies, it's the most thorough and electric look at the team of Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and Jeter ever published.Nearly a century ago fans were introduced to the New York Highlanders-soon to be renamed the "Yankees"-and they've been the most dominant franchise in professional sports ever since. In the Complete New York Yankees, Derek Gentile takes a sports reporter's look at the team. His history of the franchise, along with biographies of the 100 greatest Yankees of all time, is filled with seldom-told stories and little-known details about the many amazing ballplayers who have played for the New York Yankees over the past century.The complete career statistics capture every number, for every year, for every player who has ever worn the Yankee pinstripes, including all the vial numbers that baseball obsessives covet-from the number of stolen bases Queenie O'Rouke nabbed in 1908 (4), to the total homers Babe Ruth gave up during his year as a pitcher (10), to the number of strikeouts Catfish Hunter threw in 1975, his first year as a Yankee (177).But more than just the definitive resource for history and statistics, The Complete New York Yankees collects the fun, the frivolous and the fantastic, with features like "Superstitions and Rituals," Yankees on the Silver Screen," "Ten Players You Didn't Know Were Yankees," and "Yankee Bad Boy."From Biographies of the legends to stories of the all-but-forgotten, The Complete New York Yankees: The Total Encyclopedia of the Team is the definitive resource for Yankee fans-and anyone who loves baseball.
