Book Description
The New York Yankees ball club is perhaps the most celebrated team
in baseball history. Initially known as the Baltimore Orioles, the Yankees moved
to New York prior to the start of the 1903 American League season and were known
as the Hilltoppers or Highlanders for the first decade of their existence before
becoming the Yankees prior to the 1913 season. This day-by-day work chronicles
the team from 1903 to the present, focusing on both players and events involving
the Yankees. Noted are such milestones as significant trades and personnel
moves, administrative issues, player births and deaths, memorable games, and
miscellaneous facts. Value Priced at: $29.95 ~
