Les Krantz Yankee Classics

Annotation

No team, in any sport, enjoys a championship legacy as celebrated as the New York Yankees-and no book provides as thorough an exploration of that legacy as Yankee Classics. With year-by-year recaps filled with stories and photos, the book goes through all 40 World Series the Yankees have participated in, including the seven-game classics and the four-game cakewalks. Profiles of the biggest stars of the Fall Classic-from Ruth and Gehrig, to Berra and Mantle, to Jeter and Rivera-and detailed sidebars on the memorable moments, the October rivalries, and the lesser-known heroes round out this comprehensive look at an unprecedented sports success story.
