Customer Reviews

Great gift

I bought this for my 8 year old son, who is a die-hard Yankees fan, and he loves it! Every page has a quote from a Yankee legend. There are great pictures on every page as well. My son particularly likes the end of the book which lists 10 reasons to hate the Red Sox!

A Must-Have for Every Yankee Fan

Regardless of when you became a Yankee fan (it could have been the Babe, the Clipper, the Mick, Yogi, Donnie Baseball, or Derek) this is a "must have." Brief (one page, usually) photos and stories about the most illustreous team in American sports history are outstanding, and I'd quibble with only a couple of comments here and there. By the way, it's a great book for thos opportunities when you only need a couple of minutes to read something other than an old magazine, if you get my drift. Any Yankee fan would love it as a gift - if they have not already purchased one for themselves.

Yankees Fans will enjoy this book!!!

My young Yankees fan got this book for Christmas. I caught him with it the other day -- reading each of the reasons to love the Yankees. My Yankees fan is only seven -- but it's a book that can be enjoyed by the young and old alike, as long as you Love the Yankees.

An interesting fact book

I got this book for Christmas. It makes a nice gift for a Yankee fan. It has a lot of interesting facts dating back to the beginning of the team. Also, the photos are pretty cool. I wish it was longer though. For those interested in reading a full book about the recent dynasty years, check out "The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty".
