New York Yankees by Yankees (Paperback - Reprint)
The New York Yankees. One hundred seasons of baseball. One hundred years of tradition. This official book celebrates the most successful team in sports history. Lavishly illustrated and designed with more than 175 photographs from the Yankees’ own archives, some never seen before, this dazzling volume brings to life a century of baseball with the Bronx Bombers.

This winning retrospective captures the glorious championships, intense rivalries, and unparalleled players who have thrilled millions of fans year after year. From the unbeatable, record-breaking 1927 Yankees managed by Hall-of Famer Miller Huggins to the ongoing legacy of Joe Torre and his phenomenal four World Series victories; from such unforgettable players as the Babe, Lou Gehrig, and Yogi Berra, to today’s powerhouse hitters Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, and Jason Giambi; from the early magnificent days in the House That Ruth Built to the Steinbrenner era that heralded unprecedented excellence for three decades and counting—here is an inimitable portrait of America’s team.

Taking you where no other book has gone before—onto the field and into the bull pens and locker rooms—it features notable essays by leading writers like Roger Kahn and Robert Creamer, along with dozens of candid, first-person accounts and reminiscences from the players themselves.

A must-have keepsake for every fan, this fitting tribute to the Yankees 100th season, a is brimming with some of the most astonishing athletes and accomplishments ever, including Joe DiMaggio’s fifty-six game hit streak, Roger Marris’ sixty-one homers, and Mickey Mantle’s Triple Crown season. Like the Yankees themselves, this book is sure to be a classic.

Management Wisdom From The New York Yankees' Dynasty by Lance A. Berger (Hardcover - John Wiley & So
Since the 1920's, the New York Yankees have become the most successful sports franchise in history because of the way they manage their talent and their organization.  So how do they do it?  The Yankees' sustained success can be traced to 14 core management principles, applicable to any business operating today.  These principles embrace cultivation of home-grown talent, creation of a culture that demands excellence, pursuit and introduction of the most talented players from outside the organization, promotion of a diversified workforce, and utilization of a productive farm system as currency in making talent deals.

Emperors and Idiots by Mike Vaccaro (Hardcover - Doubleday)

The contention between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox goes on…and on…and on. Even the most casual of baseball watchers was riveted by the battle for the American League pennant in 2003, reacting with either gleeful elation or grim despair as little-known Yankee third baseman Aaron Boone hit a homer in the early-morning hours of an extra-inning game to send New York to yet another World Series—and the Red Sox once again packing for a long winter.

Mike Vaccaro covered that game and hundreds of other explosive Yankees-Red Sox confrontations. In DAMN YANKEES, DAMNED SOX, the veteran sports columnist uses the 2003 play-offs as a starting point for a thorough, and thoroughly balanced, journey into the legendary rivalry between the teams. He examines the seeds of the animosity, its most recent manifestations, and everything in between. Did the fierce competition begin with the Red Sox’s sale of Babe Ruth in 1919 (widely believed to have triggered the notorious “Curse of the Bambino”) or did the sweet ring of East Coast rivalry exist long before? Did it resonate loudest through Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio in their remarkable, head-to-head, record-setting 1941 seasons or at the climax of the October 1978 series, when Bucky Dent hit his famous homer over Fenway Park’s Green Monster to ruin another Red Sox season?

No other baseball teams have had the extensive national followings that the Yankees and the Red Sox share. Vaccaro’s in-depth, energetic, and incredibly knowledgeable history is bound to be a big, countrywide hit.
