About covers it all.

About covers it all. And this is the book that says it all. Best book to remember the House that Ruth Built and many others occupied. good pictures, informative and very well put as in the stories.

WOW

Joe Torre wrote the forward and speaks about being at Yankee Stadium when Don Larsen pitched a perfect game against the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956. I was just 10 years old then and I also saw that game. Like Joe Torre I also saw David Wells and David Cone pitch perfect games. I saw Roger Marris hit number 61 and many great plays and victory celebrations. In this book, baseball players and athletes in other sports, fans, media folk share their memories. Their stories stir up memories and make me thankful to all the players on Yankee teams who work so had to be the best and who bring such joy to their fans and add to that positive energy that resides in the stadium.
