Love'em or hate'em, there's no denying that the New York Yankees
have won twenty-six world championships. No other team comes close
to matching that record. Some clubs are fortunate enough to
assemble a team that can be called a dynasty, most never come close
-- the Yankees have had five.
Long before the 2000 World Series trophy was awarded, Alan Ross,
a lifelong Yankees fan, began compiling a unique, concise treasury
of quotations about the Yankees by the players, coaches, and
sportswriters who called Yankee Stadium home. The result is an
eloquent collection of pinstripe pride that should swell the heart
of every Yankees fan. Sentiments from heroes past and present echo
through the pages, from Ruth and Gehrig to Stengel and Mantle to
Torre and Jeter. Not only are the voices heard of the greats whose
names appear on the monuments beyond the left-center field fence at
Yankee Stadium -- Ruth, Gehrig, Dickey, DiMaggio, Mantle, Maris,
Berra, Ford, Munson, Guidry, Jackson, Hunter, and Mattingly -- but
also those of other Yankee heroes such as Charley Keller, Spud
Chandler, Joe Gordon, Tommy Henrich, Vic Raschi, Allie Reynolds,
Bobby Murcer, Bobby Richardson, Tony Kubek, Joe Pepitone, and
Sparky Lyle.
This tribute to the Yankees also includes a brief history of the
team, statistics from the successful World Series campaigns, and
the lineups that amassed this legacy. In the end, it is a
celebration of the greatness of the Yankees that spanned a
century.
This is the kind of book a fan reads over and over. After all,
that is the way their Yankees seem to collect world
championships.
