Spend and evening with
DAVE ANDERSON
Discussing & Signing His New Book
Experience a century of the pride, power, and pinstripes of the
Yankees, Major League Baseball's most successful team, as told through the
stories of their hometown newspaper, The New York
Times.
The New York Yankees are the most storied franchise
in baseball history. They consistently draw the largest home and away crowds of
any team, command the largest broadcast audiences in baseball, draw the greatest
number of on-line followers, and routinely sell more copies of books and
magazines than any other professional sports team.
The New York Times
Story of the Yankees includes more than 350 articles chronicling the team's
most famous milestones—as well as the best writing about the ball club. Each
article is hand-selected from The Times by the peerless sportswriter Dave
Anderson, creating the most complete and compelling history to date about the
Yankees.
Organized by era, the book covers the biggest stories and
events in Yankee history, such as the purchase of Babe Ruth, Roger Maris's 61st
home run, and David Cone's perfect game. It chronicles the team's 27 World
Series championships and 40 American League pennants; its rivalries with the
Brooklyn Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox; controversial owners, players, and
managers; and more. The articles span the years from 1903—when the team was
known as the New York Highlanders—to the present, and include stories from
well-known and beloved Times reporters such as Arthur Daley, John Kieran,
Leonard Koppett, Red Smith, Tyler Kepner, Ira Berkow, Richard Sandomir, Jim
Roach, and George Vecsey.
Hundreds of black-and-white photographs
throughout capture every era. A foreword by die-hard Yankees fan, Alec Baldwin,
completes the celebration of baseball's greatest team.
