The New York Yankees history is filled with great achievements,
outstanding performances, and unprecedented success. For more than
40 years, from 1921 to 1964, the Yankees and their fans had much to
cheer about the team won 29 pennants and 20 world championships and
featured such greats as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey
Mantle, Bill Dickey, Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford. Yankee haters
waited endlessly for thefall of the seemingly unbeatable team from
New York, and finally, in 1965,the Yankees began to flounder. The
team didnt win anything for the next eleven years.
Each losing season, from 1965 through 1975, is fully covered in
this book. The author maintains that in their long losing streak
and mediocrity, the Yankees somehow acquired a more endearing
quality that had not previously existed. The team that had once
offered its fans Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle and other greats
now offered Bill Robinson, DannyCater, Jerry Kenney and Jake Gibbs,
and standouts Bobby Murcer, Mel Stottlemyre, Thurman Munson and Roy
Whitemen who knew the Yankees long and glorious history, but also
knew first-hand the decade of frustration and disappointment that
Yankees players and fans had to live through.
