By	Susan (Pleasant Valley, NY) - See all my reviews

This compendium of stories is sure to delight the baseball fan in any house (even if they're not rooting for the Yankees)! Some of the stories were laugh-out-loud funny. A great gift idea.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Stories, June 2, 2003

By	Randy Given (Manchester, CT USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tales from the Yankee Dugout: A Collection of the Greatest Yankee Stories ever Told (Paperback)

These are decent stories, generally a paragraph or two per subject and several pages per person (see the Table of Contents online). Most of them are entertaining and make for quick reading when convenient.
