Yankee fans are forever, but it's especially exciting to revel in the Yankees' past accomplishments while basking in the glow of their 1997 season exploits. Yankee historian Harvey Frommer has compiled the definitive record of Yankee baseball, from their 1903 beginnings through their 1996 World Series championship. There are chapters on the great Yankee teams, their ballparks and games, their owners (with all the Steinbrenner stories you can stomach), their worst rivals, their past greats, and complete statistics on every player through 1996, plus hundreds of photos--from their early pinstriped years to the present. Now that this spectacular season is over, it's time to luxuriate in the names, details, and aura of the Yankees' past.

Book Description
The New York Yankees are both the most popular and successful franchise in baseball history. The Bronx Bombers have won 34 American League pennants and 23 World Series championships, and have boasted such legendary performers as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, and Reggie Jackson. The 1996 team added the latest chapter to their illustrious history with a thrilling World Series championship. Those great players and teams can all be found in The New York Yankee Encyclopedia, the most complete record of Yankee baseball ever published.
