A MUST for any Yankee fan. The pictures are worth the price, but even though the story is very funny, and somewhat unique, it was not much of the publication. I would have liked to have read more, and I'm sure that the author could have provided it.

What a great tale by a great fan of the Yankees. Fine shots of yesterday's stars. A fun read. Arnie did something that most of us could only dream about but could never pull off. It took a load of brass. A lifetime worth of memories. Thanks for sharing, Tokyo.

Started with good potential for stories about Yankees and photography and photographing in places most of us will never have access to, but in the end, disappoints. I am guessing that Arnie could continue and finish the book with the same gusto as he started. There is good potential.....

There is a very funny story to go with these priceless pictures of our beloved New York Yankees. Toke strikes the right cords with his humorous stories and wonderful on field shots . This is an entertaining and very fun read.

Just finished my first reading of this book. As an ardent Yankee fan, I didn't want the book to end. The pictures are phenomenal and having lived through the era the author wrote about, it brought back memories that i haven't thought about in years. As time progresses I know I will digest every picture slowly to bring back my own memories of having watched the games. By the way, the story of the author's travels through time, and how he was able to take these pictures is almost as good as the pictures that follow.

Remarkable not only for the access to the "boys in pinstripes", but also for the timing and memorable expressions of some wonderful years.
