Whether you're a Yankees fan or not, you can't help but to love the history of the game, the team, and the stats. Growing up as a Yankees fan, I happened to see some of the great games that were talked about in the book. The size of the book may scare some, but once you get into reading, it is filled with fun facts, articles, and commentary by players present and past, managers, and other players for other teams who have a begrudging respect for the Yankees.

I'd recommend this book to any Yankees fan, or anyone who loves the game.

I really liked this, but man was it dense. However, reading about the illustrious history of the Yankees was a perfect escape for someone who watches every game of the current last place 2023 New York Yankees.

This book provides a great overview of every season of Yankees baseball from their founding in 1903 through the publication date in 2011. I was especially interested to hear about the pre-Babe years, which are seldom talked about. The research and historical content is first rate. The one issue with the audiobook was mispronunciation of a lot of names.

I read this for my 2020 Reading Challenge and the prompt was A book you picked because the title caught your attention. I actually found this book in the Barnes and Noble in Baltimore while I was there for a Yankees Game. I really enjoyed reading this I just wish the chapters had been divided by decades and were labeled accordingly.
