When you love a baseball team, you love to know more and more about them. The following books are perfect for the Yankee fans library and belong on your shelves. Have a glimpse of what you are waiting for.
Bronx Bombers
This book, written in 2015, covers the Yankee’s great hitters and their hitting careers, but that’s not all. Most of us are elated when our favorite player hits a home run. Bronx Bombers takes us through the history of iconic home runs made for the team through the years. Remember Mickey Mantle’s 565-foot shot in Washington? How about Babe Ruth’s called shot in the 1932 World Series against the Cubs? Those homeruns and much more are found in the pages of Bronx Bombers.
The author of this book, Lew Freedman, loves sports and as a sportswriter, researched the rich history of the Yankees and gave us Bronx Bombers.
Yankee Legends
Pivotal moments, essential players, and key personalities is the theme of Yankee Legends. This book is a Hall-centric approach to the Bronx Bombers. You will find a treasure chest of tidbits and, of course, emphasis on all the pivotal points in pinstripe past. The interesting facts presented in Yankee Legends will cause any fan to look differently at the Hall’s hallowed Gallery where 16 of the 20 walls or alcoves are graced by plaques representing the franchise that had 27 world championships and counting entering 2018.
Written by a recipient of the National Magazine Award for General Excellence, Mark Newman had written for nearly two decades with Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLB.com).
As a baseball lover, Mark also brought us Diamonds from the Dugout, where he asked baseball personalities, “What hit meant the most to you and why?” This book is a collection of motivational lessons on achieving success in life, organized through stories shared by baseball greats as Derek Jeter, Stan Musial, Ken Griffey Jr., Pete Rose, Carl Yastrzemski, Wade Boggs, Frank Thomas, Mike Piazza, Cal Ripken Jr. among many more familiar names. Diamonds from the Dugout shares their answers and insights.
Yankee fans will love the rich information in these books. But any baseball enthusiast will love the selection of books from Bue River Press on baseball.
