Overview
game of baseball. It was a time when baseball players enjoyed an elevated status as national icons, a time when men wearing baggy, flannel uniforms and sporting pancake gloves played for little more than āthe love of the game.ā In this striking and nostalgic volume featuring many rarely seen photographs, we meet the heroes that were the New York Yankees. The Yankees won 29 American League pennants and 20 World Series during this golden era, their diamond exploits thrilling generations of fans and their statistical achievements becoming familiar numbers in the lore of the game: Babe Ruthās 714 home runs; Lou Gehrigās 2,130 consecutive games played; Joe DiMaggioās 56-game hitting streak; Casey Stengelās 5 straight world championships; Mickey Mantleās 565-foot home run; and Roger Marisās 61 round-trippers. The tradition of excellence began in the 1920s with the Murderersā Row teams, named for their ākillerā batting lineups, and continued through the early 1960s, by which time the Bronx Bombers had established themselves as the most successful franchise in sports history.
