Before they acquired Babe Ruth or won a single championship, the
New York Yankees (nee Highlanders) were a team that inspired the
strongest of feelings in baseball circles. Stars such as Jack
Chesbro, Hal Chase, and Brooklyner Willie Keeler drew loud
followings, and the team made loyal fans of those who disliked the
cross-town Giants or Dodgers. Even Ban Johnson prized the
franchise, which gave his upstart American League a foothold in the
nation's most populous city. Baltimoreans, on the other hand,
nurtured an animus toward the team, which only a few years earlier
had been called the Orioles. And former Orioles manager John McGraw
hatched a plan, along with Giants owner Andrew Freedman, to
sabotage the new club. This heavily illustrated volume combines a
fully documented history of the deadball-era Yankees with 195
photos of the people, places, and events that figured prominently
in the story.
