This great book it full of rich history. Much will be learned of early baseball history such as rules and the evolution of the uniform. More than the game details, the author details the social and political drama of the day. The reader becomes part of the history. A must read for all baseball fans.

Twentieth-century American history through a baseball window,
By A Customer
This review is from: New York Yankee Openers: An Opening Day History of Baseball's Most Famous Team, 1903-1996 (Paperback)
Whether you love the Yankees or hate them, you'll enjoy this team history that is woven into the fabric of americana. This is much more than another good baseball book. You'll feel as if you actually lived through the decades (1903-1996) and were fortunate enough to attend, listen to, or at least read the next day's newspaper describing each of the New York opening-day contests
