Book excerpt: "(The Least Among Them) is the ultimate insider book." - Marty Appel "This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball's power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond." - Jonathan Eig The Least Among Them is a most special baseball book that looks at the New York Yankees history in an original, unique, and never before written manner.

Download or read book New York Yankees and the Meaning of Life written by Derek Gentile and published by MVP Books. This book was released on 2009-04-15 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love ’em or hate ’em, the New York Yankees have long been a dominating presence on the baseball diamond for decades. And everyone has something to say about them, especially some of the franchise’s own sages, like Casey Stengel, who “couldn’t have done it without my players.” Or the inimitable Yogi Berra, quoted so often that he felt compelled to say, “I didn’t really say everything I said.” From Stengel and Berra and Babe Ruth to Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, and Reggie Jackson, the Yankees have had more than their share of wise-cracking characters and eloquent gentlemen over their long and distinguished history. And the Bronx Bombers have gotten as well as they’ve given, inspiring memorable remarks from everyone from Ernest Hemingway and Joe E. Lewis to James Thurber, Jimmy Breslin, and George W. Bush. Gathered here are the wittiest, pithiest, and most philosophical writings, quotes, sayings, and quips ever brought to bear by the Yankees. Illustrated with a lavish collection of photographs and images from today and yesterday, the book will delight not only the Yankees’ legions of ardent defenders and detractors, but any fan of baseball and the bon mot.

Download or read book The Postwar Yankees written by David George Surdam and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yankees and New York baseball entered a golden age between 1949 and 1964, a period during which the city was represented in all but one World Series. While the Yankees dominated, however, the years were not so golden for the rest of baseball. In The Postwar Yankees: Baseball's Golden Age Revisited, David G. Surdam deconstructs this idyllic period to show that while the Yankees piled on pennants and World Series titles through the 1950s, Major League Baseball attendance consistently declined and gate-revenue disparity widened through the mid-1950s. Contrary to popular belief, the era was already experiencing many problems that fans of today's game bemoan, including a competitive imbalance and callous owners who ran the league like a cartel. Fans also found aging, decrepit stadiums ill-equipped for the burgeoning automobile culture, while television and new forms of leisure competed for their attention. Through an economist's lens, Surdam brings together historical documents and off-the-field numbers to reconstruct the period and analyze the roots of the age's enduring mythology, examining why the Yankees and other New York teams were consistently among baseball's elite and how economic and social forces set in motion during this golden age shaped the sport into its modern incarnation.

Download or read book The 1928 New York Yankees written by Charlie Gentile and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1927 New York Yankees are often considered one of the best Yankee teams of all time—perhaps one of the best major league teams ever. Yet often overlooked is the Yankee team that followed. The 1928 Yankees started the season on track to meet and even surpass the records and accomplishments of the season before. Many players from the 1927 “Murderers’ Row” were still there, including Bob Meusel, Earle Combs, Mark Koenig, Tony Lazzeri, Lou Gehrig, and Babe Ruth. The 1928 New York Yankees: The Return of Murderers’ Row tells the story of this underrated squad that endured a roller-coaster season of ups and downs to ultimately win the World Series. The baseball world, frustrated by the Yankees’ dominance the previous year, rejoiced when the team stumbled badly during the 1928 preseason. Their elation turned to gloom when the Yankees charged out of the gates to start the regular season on top of the standings. In spite of holding a commanding fourteen game edge over the second place Philadelphia Athletics midway through the season, the Yankees saw their lead disappear with just three weeks remaining. Manager Miller Huggins pulled together his patchwork pitching staff and banged-up regulars and reserves to mount a nail-biting fight to the finish. Highlighted by numerous images of the key players for the Yankees, this detailed and thoroughly researched book provides an intimate look into a season to remember. The 1928 New York Yankees includes a discussion of the best teams in baseball leading up to the 1928 season, along with historical background on the country’s condition in the 1920s. From the Yankees’ preseason trip to Florida through their dominance, collapse, and subsequent rise, this bookwill entertain and educate all fans and historians of the national pastime.
