Bombers Broadside 2008: An Annual Guide to New York Yankees Baseball [Paperback]

Cecilia Tan (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 28, 2008

Most preseason annuals only provide a page or two of Yankees coverage and always leave you looking for more, but now there’s a publication that goes beyond the basics and provides the through and intensive treatment of the Yanks that diehard fans crave.

Bombers Broadside 2008 gives you a report on the 2008 Yankees through scouting reports from real working major league scouts. This insider information is exclusive to Bombers Broadside 2008, and will get you up to speed on the new team quickly. Also included is an analysis of Joe Torre’s reign in New York, and where that stacks up with some of the other great managers in baseball history. Further, you’ll get a look at Yankees history, including a tenth anniversary look back on the record-setting 1998 season, one of the greatest in the team’s proud history. The book also evaluates the entire organization, including the team’s top prospects and a look at the production the Yankees have gotten out of the minor leagues in recent years. Moreover, the fallacy of the bankrupt Yankee farm system is explored, along with the emergence of young Yankee players like Robinson Cano, Philip Hughes, and Melky Cabrera.

It’s all packed into more than a hundred pages of ad-free, full-color Yankees information that is unlike anything else available.

I've also edited many anthologies including Women of the Bite, Cowboy Lover, Sex In The System, Wicked Pleasures, SM Visions, for many different publishers, and many many books and ebooks for the independent publishing house I founded, Circlet Press. Those include Best Fantastic Erotica, Erotic Fantastic, Like an Animal, Like Crimson Droplets, and many others, both for Kindle and in paperback.
