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.
