Game Day: Yankees Baseball: The Greatest Games, Players, Managers and Teams in the Glorious Tradition of Yankees Baseball

by Athlon Sports, Yogi Berra (Foreword)

Whether rediscovering the best team moments, or initiating into the histories and traditions of Yankees fandom, this book about the New York Yankees is both a useful resource and cherishable memorabilia. Packed with anecdotes of past and current players, explanations about the beginnings of rivalries and traditions, detailed histories about the greatest players and moments in the franchise’s history, lists of the greatest teams ever and year-by-year statistics, this collectible book is the primary source for anyone eager to be an expert regarding anything about the Yankees. The book captures the essence of the pride of every true Yankees fan: pinstripes, “the house that Ruth built,” Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak, “the straw that stirs the drink,” Billy Martin hired and fired (five times), Derek Jeter, the Subway Series, the Iron Horse, and Don Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series.
