Book Description

January 1, 1998
This ultimate book for the Yankee fan includes every player who ever played for the Yankees even for a single at bat, every statistic--both career and with the Yankees--and every important moment in Yankee history making this the most thorough and eclectic look at the team of Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, and Jeter ever published. Fascinating stories, lists and biographies offer a complete and insightful overview of the team through its history. All the vital numbers that baseball obsessives covet are here, from the number of stolen bases Queenie O'Rourke nabbed in 1908 (4), to the total homers Babe Ruth gave up during his years as a pitcher (10), to the number of strikeouts Catfish Hunter earned in 1975 (177). More than just an incredible collection of baseball numbers, this Yankees tribute reminds fans of blockbuster trades, great players who got away, notable accomplishments by some un-notable Yankee players, and more.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

The Complete New York Yankees is a colossal collection of anything and everything you could ever want to know about the legendary Bronx Bombers. With comprehensive statistics for every Yankee who's ever played the game, along with fascinating stories, lists and biographies, it's the most thorough and electric look at the team of Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and Jeter ever published.

Nearly a century ago fans were introduced to the New York Highlanders-soon to be renamed the "Yankees"-and they've been the most dominant franchise in professional sports ever since. In the Complete New York Yankees, Derek Gentile takes a sports reporter's look at the team. His history of the franchise, along with biographies of the 100 greatest Yankees of all time, is filled with seldom-told stories and little-known details about the many amazing ballplayers who have played for the New York Yankees over the past century.

The complete career statistics capture every number, for every year, for every player who has ever worn the Yankee pinstripes, including all the vial numbers that baseball obsessives covet-from the number of stolen bases Queenie O'Rouke nabbed in 1908 (4), to the total homers Babe Ruth gave up during his year as a pitcher (10), to the number of strikeouts Catfish Hunter threw in 1975, his first year as a Yankee (177).

But more than just the definitive resource for history and statistics, The Complete New York Yankees collects the fun, the frivolous and the fantastic, with features like "Superstitions and Rituals," Yankees on the Silver Screen," "Ten Players You Didn't Know Were Yankees," and "Yankee Bad Boy."

From Biographies of the legends to stories of the all-but-forgotten, The Complete New York Yankees: The Total Encyclopedia of the Team is the definitive resource for Yankee fans-and anyone who loves baseball.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift for all yankee fans, May 23, 2001
By 
David E. Levine (Peekskill , NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Complete New York Yankees: The Total Encyclopedia of the Team (Hardcover)
This great volume has a history of the Yankees, profiles of great players, stories of great moments in team history, etc. It is loaded with trivia and team records. It also has the complete career stats for everyone who has ever worn a Yankee uniform. Even if someone had a great career for another team, if he briefly played for the Yankees, his entire major league stats are included and the stats which pertain to the games he played as a Yankee are printed in bold type. If there was a fairly obscure player who you recall from a Yankee team years ago, his stats are there. This book is loaded with great information and you will spend many enjoyable hours leafing through it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pass, July 6, 2003
By 
Randy Given (Manchester, CT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Complete New York Yankees: The Total Encyclopedia of the Team (Hardcover)
Pass on this book. Although not everyone can tour Yankee Stadium and ask any question they like (and get very good answers), I expected a lot when I looked at the table of contents for the first section. Unfortunately, the answers are skimpy and insufficient, especially considering that the subtitle claims to be "the total encyclopedia of the team". Not hardly. The latter section of statistics may be useless, dated or just good for historical purposes. I would pass.
