The Greatest Team In Baseball

Time has come and passed, with teams handing the World Series trophy over to the next team the next year. There are no true dynasties anymore. Back in the 20's through the mid 60's, the New York Yankees were the team to beat, every year. And now, once again, the New York Yankees are the epitomy of greatness. Names like Ruth, DiMaggio, Mantle, Maris, and Jeter have all walked through the hallowed corridors of Yankee Stadium, calling it their home. No team in any sport has recorded as many world championships as the Yankees have. Beginning with the trade involving Babe Ruth in 1920, within three years they had won their first World Series, traveling to the beginning of the new era with Jeter, the Yankees have been spectacular. In this book, the essence of the true, pinstriped summer boys is captured in breathtaking photography. I have yet to find a photography book that makes me feel like I'm there, to take the pictures like this one has. If you are a Yankee fan, or even if you're not, this book will change entirely the way you see the boys in pinstripes.

It shows the viewer what kind of team it takes to win 25 World Series, what kind of team, year in and year out, is outstanding. The Yanks are a team you love or you love to hate. If you are a sports fan of any kind, this book will surely change the way you view the boys in pinstripes.
