First of all...Wow, this book was amazing. I have always been a yankees fan. This book truly was the best book that I have every read that had it all. It had stats for number Junkies like myself, It had stories as well. There is so much info in this book it is mind boggaling. This book is a must buy for any yankees fan, or any baseball fan for that matter. This book is well worth the money.
