From the Author
In writing A YANKEE CENTURY, it was in a way like competing with myself. I had written the highly successful A YANKEE ENCYCLOPEDIA as well as NEW YORK CITY BASEBALL, had written for YANKEES MAGAZINE for almost two decades and followed the team for more decades that I can remember. So in writing A YANKEE CENTURY - - all of this history came into play. I fashioned a book that is history, trivia, dates, profiles, oddities - a book that I believe will appeal to all Yankee fans and baseball fans - there is something to learn and enjoy on each page. I learned a lot in doing the book and I knew a lot before I started.
With its mix of archival photos, charts, lists, stats - as well as more than 100,000 words written by me - -and me alone -this is a book I am very proud of.
