Review
What this country has long needed is a good Yankees encyclopedia. Mark Gallagher has done a beautiful job. he begins with a spirited history of the Yankees, a team that (despite a few insignificant recent blips) stands as a peerless standard of excellence. Biographies of the 180 most notable Yankees extract their statistics with the team from those of the rest of their careers, and there is a listing for everyone who ever played for the team along with a chronological section on managers, which unaccountably fails to explain why kid Eberfield (1908) was called "the Tabasco Kid." There are terrific season-by-season summaries, a long section on the World Series and Yankee statistics in every conceivable category. -- The New York Times Book Review April 7, 1996 Richard Gid Powers

A Great Reference For The Ultimate Yankees Fan,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Yankee Encyclopedia (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
The updates get better and better every year. And why not so does the team. Have a question about the Bronx Bombers? Well if it can be answered here it can't be answered anywhere. Highly recommended by BehindtheBombers.com The Official Website of the Yankees Fan.
