Product Description

Baseball fans will relive the past 50 years of America’s greatest pastime through the eyes of the Yankee Hater. This book chronicles the year-by-year account of each baseball season with little or no mention of the success of the New York Yankees, but rather a highlight of their failures. This is the Yankee Hater’s narration of 50+ years of baseball, life and everything in between.

AUTHOR BIO: For over fifty years Gene Hutmaker has observed baseball from every possible vantage point - a player, coach, umpire, and most importantly, a lifelong fan. His ability to recall obscure facts and stats has earned him the moniker ‘The Baseball Rainman’. He recently retired from the U.S. Postal Service after 40 years and is a Viet Nam Army Veteran. He is married to Josephine (37 years and counting) and has two sons (both Yankee fans), co-author Michael, a University Dean, and Christopher, a former All-State baseball player and Wall Street Executive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Baseball Book!, March 26, 2006

By	Baseball Fan (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This book is great for anyone who loves baseball - or just loves to hate the Yankees. It's fun to read and is filled with lots of baseball history and interesting stories. There is a lot of detail and a very funny perspective that you don't find in other books on the sport.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of statistics and humor. And not just for the Yankees haters!, October 1, 2006

By	Mark J. Renna - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a Yankees fan I thought I would HATE this book. But I was drawn into the stories behind each of the Yankees failures. The author does a terrific job of combing Baseball facts and his humorous perspective through the eyes of a Yankees hater surrounded by Yankees fans.

I recommend taking a serious look at "Banned in the Bronx: The Yankee Hater Memoirs 1953-2005" whether you are Yankees fan or just cannot stand them. Good read! A must for Red Sox fans!!!
