The New York Yankees have been written about, analyzed, scrutinized, and celebrated more than any other sports franchise. Their unmatched 27 world championships and long list of Hall of Famers and equally long list of colorful characters have inspired the literary- and not-so-literary-minded from the world of sports and the world of letters to pen some of the greatest pieces of sports writing over the course of more than a century. The Yankees Baseball Reader brings together the best works of journalism and literature to tell the story of this legendary franchise. It offers the musings of classic sportswriters like Grantland Rice and Damon Runyon and modern-day wordsmiths like Roger Angell and Thomas Boswell, and features excerpts from the great baseball biographers. The players themselves share their perspectives from memoirs by such Yankee legends as Mickey Mantle and Joe Torre to tell-alls by Jim Bouton and Sparky Lyle. And the humorous musings of Casey Stengel and Yogi Berra are an essential part of team lore. Newspaper accounts of the most memorable moments from Yankee history, as well as views from the other side the Yankee haters round out this essential reference for any fan of the Bronx Bombers."
