Description

Even the most famous of teams has been misremembered, misrepresented, misunderstood, and otherwise missed through history's many tellings and retellings, and this book is an entertaining antidote to all the above concerning the New York Yankees. With surprising analysis and gleeful wit,it examines everything from the underestimated to the overrated, along the way providing perspectives on the Bronx Bombers' authentic legacy in terms of stats and society, performances and personalities, comparisons and culture.
