Yankee Classics, World Series Magic from the Bronx Bombers, 1921 to Today (Innbundet (stive permer))

A recognized sports authority, Les Krantz has worked for the Chicago Tribune, Chicago magazine, Esquire, Ski, and Gold. He is the author of many sports books, including Yankee Stadium: A Tribute, Dark Horses and Underdogs, Reel Baseball, and Not Till the Fat Lady Sings. Reggie Jackson, a baseball Hall of Famer, played 5 of his 21 major league seasons in New York and led the Yankees to 3 World Series. He set numerous records and placed himself firmly in the annals of memorable baseball moments with his three-home-run performance in the 1977 Fall Classic.

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 been 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.
