No other franchise in the history of sports can boast the tradition and worldwide appeal of the New York Yankees. The list of legends who have donned the blue-and-white pinstripes over the years is as long as one of Mantle s epic tape-measure home runs, and the names themselves have become synonymous with everything we love about baseball. From Ruth and Gehrig to DiMaggio and Berra to Jackson and Steinbrenner to Jeter and Johnson, For the Love of the Yankees provides a history lesson on Yankee baseball over the last century. These legendary figures are lovingly represented by the colorful illustrations of Mark Anderson and the lyrical text of Frederick C. Klein. For the Love of the Yankees is an ideal way for different generations of the Yankee faithful to share their passion for the greatest baseball franchise of all time.
