Yankee Pride: The Story of the New York Yankees in the 1960s: Revised Edition

Revised edition of the most complete history of the New York Yankees in the 1960s. Yankee Pride chronicles how the New York Yankees won consecutive American League pennants during the first five years of the 1960s, then fell from glory starting in 1965, and landed in the American League cellar in 1966, going from league best to looking up at the rest in just two seasons. The story follows how the Yankees returned to respectability in the last three years of the decade, winning on pitching and defense rather than the power hitting that had been so synonymous with Yankee baseball in the team's glory days.Yankee Pride takes you year-by-year, month-by-month, even game-by-game, as the entire decade of triumph and struggle unfolds before your eyes. It includes player profiles of Mantle, Maris, Ford, Stottlemyre, Murcer and more, and includes over 200 photographs. Enjoy the memories.
