The New Yankees Century: For the Love of Jeter, Joltin' Joe, and Mariano
Alan Ross
As surely as leaves change colors in autumn, the New York Yankees are associated with baseball's Fall Classic. From 1921 through the 2005 postseason, no team has made more appearances in the World Series than the legendary Bronx Bombers. Yankee icons stand in an awesome line of fabled accomplishments: Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Dickey, Ruffing, Mantle, Berra, Ford, Rizzuto, Jackson, Munson, Guidry, Hunter, Mattingly, Williams, O'Neill, Martinez, Jeter, Rodriguez, Rivera...a seemingly endless procession of pinstripes that knows no equal in any major sport. Winning 26 world championships, including the unparalleled stretch from 1949 through '53 in which the Yanks took five straight World Series crowns, they also took four of five world championships from 1996 to 2000.
The New Yankees Century is the story of New York Yankees baseball as told by the Yankee players, coaches, opponents, fans, and the media. It salutes the great pinstripers, the unrivaled championship teams, major moments, rivalries, the venerable near-sacred field of play — Yankee Stadium — the fans, the traditions. Special chapters include the Yankees' all-time team, complete world championship rosters, and a shrine of tribute to the immortal No. 7 — Mickey Mantle.
