The perfect gift for the diehard fan, an enviable treasure for yourself,
The Ultimate Yankee Book is the most current and comprehensive source
of trivia, people and stories from the team's creation in 1901 to today.
Harvey Frommer, the celebrated baseball historian and author of eight
books about the Yankees, including The New York Yankee Encyclopedia
and Remembering Yankee Stadium, has outdone himself this time around.
The Ultimate Yankee Book combines oral history with stories of
legendary figures and epic Yankee feats. Featuring an exhaustive
timeline, a challenging 150-question Yankee quiz, entertaining sections
on Yankees by the numbers and nicknames and profiles of dozens of Yankee
legends and luminaries, this is a book to treasure and turn to again and
again.
Yankee fans have bragging rights to call their team the greatest of all
time. Not only have the Yankees won the most World Series championships
and placed the most players in the Hall of Fame, but the franchise is
also the most widely featured team in news, social media and books. This
groundbreaking work gives fans what they love: the best stories and a
mother lode of data right through 2016. More than 125 archival photos
and images are a special feature of The Ultimate Yankee Book.
