Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, and Roger Maris were the beginning players who created the awesome history of the New York Yankees. Founded in 1901, the Yankees began their rise to fame. Early on, over a forty year period they won the World Series twenty times. No other team has duplicated this feat. Today, they are a force to be reckoned with in Major League Baseball. Throughout the history of the Yankees they have been known for the big hitters in their history. Until just recently Roger Maris's record of sixty-one home runs in a season was one of the longest standing records in sports history. Open this title in the "Team Spirit" series and you are treated to the excellent writing of author Mark Stewart. With his usual flair, Mr. Stewart is able to turn simple factual information into colorful history. As with other books in the series, different sections meshed with abundant photographs allow readers to stay entertained as they read. This book is a good addition to any nonfiction library collection.
