Pennants & Pinstripes: The New York Yankees 1903-2002 Hardcover - 2002

by Ray Robinson; Christopher Jennison; Christopher Jennison (Joint Author)

In 2002, the New York Yankees will celebrate their one-hundredth anniversary-and what a first century they have enjoyed! Whether you love them or hate them, they are the most storied team in baseball history, having captured thirty-seven American League Pennants and twenty-six World Series championships. To commemorate this historic year, Ray Robinson and Christopher Jennison, who collaborated on Yankee Stadium, have pulled together a striking volume illuminating all of the greatest moments of the Bronx Bombers. All the great Yankee luminaries are here, from Babe Ruth to Bernie Williams, Lou Gehrig to Reggie Jackson, Mickey Mantle to Derek Jeter-with every Tom (Tresh), Dick (Howser), and Harry (Howell, the franchise's first winning pitcher) thrown in.

Featuring more than 150 photographs, contributions from experts such as Hall-of-Famer Yogi Berra and commentator Bob Costas, and picks for the "all-time Yankee team," Pennants and Pinstripes will be the ultimate tribute to the century's ultimate ball club-and a must-have for any baseball fan.
