To mark the 100th anniversary of America's most storied baseball franchise, authors David Hickey and Kerry Keene salute a very special Yankees fraternity. The Proudest Yankees of All celebrates the 39 players, managers, and team executives who have been elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame for the baseball feats they achieved during their tenure with this storied ball club and over their careers. Ruth, Gehrig, Grove, Mantle, Jackson, McCarthy, Stengel, MacPhail and more are gathered in this one-of-a kind blue and white pinstriped reunion. It's an entertaining and informative reference and tribute to the men who most define Yankees excellence.

The poems of David Hickey's first collection, In the Lights of a Midnight Plow, glitter and startle. His is a writing deftly musical, where every detail and image has been carefully weighed, honed with a knife's edge and poet's ear to fit just so. The subjects are diverse, though his aim, always, is true: whether writing about nature, farming or domestic concerns, there is intelligence, beauty, humour and originality. Most importantly, there is language, the sparkle and sheen of it, the rhythm, all of which tells us that a new and important voice is at work here.
