The New York Yankees ball club is perhaps the most celebrated team in baseball history. Initially known as the Baltimore Orioles, the Yankees moved to New York prior to the start of the 1903 American League season and were known as the Hilltoppers or Highlanders for the first decade of their existence before becoming the Yankees prior to the 1913 season. This day-by-day work chronicles the team from 1903 to the present, focusing on both players and events involving the Yankees. Noted are such milestones as significant trades and personnel moves, administrative issues, player births and deaths, memorable games, and miscellaneous facts. * April 10, 1913: After 10 years as the Highlanders and Hilltoppers, the club plays its first game as the Yankees. They lose 2-1, to Walter Johnson and the Washington Senators. * July 17, 1941: Indians third baseman Ken Keltner proves an agent to history when his dazzling glove work at the hot corner ensures that Joe DiMaggio will go hitless for the first time since May 15. DiMaggio's record-setting streak ends at 56 games. * October 1, 1961: After a summer of media scrutiny, Roger Maris survives the challenge of teammate Mickey Mantle and the suffocating shadow of Babe Ruth, launching his 61st home run of the season to establish a new record. * October 26, 2000: In the last World Series game of the 20th century, the Yankees defeat the New York Mets in Shea Stadium for their 26th world championship. They did not win their first title until October 15, 1923.

Two years after the establishment of the American Baseball League in 1901, New Yorkers Frank Farrell and Bill Devery purchased the American League Baltimore Orioles for $18,000 and moved the franchise to New York. They built a stadium in Washington Heights and called the team the Highlanders. This was the humble beginning of the legendary New York Yankees, who went on to be the greatest winning team of the twentieth century. This fascinating pictorial history of the Yankees chronicles the evolution of the team between 1903 and 1928. Featured are rare and spectacular photographs of players, managers, the early spring training sites, and Hilltop Park. Highlights include the team's rivalry with John McGraw's New York Giants; the story of pitcher Jack Chesbro, who despite his record forty-one wins, lost the pennant because of a wild pitch in the last game of the season; the construction of Yankee Stadium, completed in 1923; and the development by 1927 of one of the Yankees' greatest teams, which included Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.

How did Reggie Jackson go from superstar to icon? Why did Joe DiMaggio's nickname change from "Deadpan Joe" to "Joltin' Joe"? How did Seinfeld affect public perception of George Steinbrenner? The New York Yankees' dominance on the baseball diamond has been lauded, analyzed and chronicled. Yet the team's broader impact on popular culture has been largely overlooked--until now. From Ruth's called shot to the Reggie! candy bar, this collection of new essays offers untold histories, new interpretations and fresh analyses of baseball's most successful franchise. Contributors explore the Yankee mystique in film, television, theater, music and advertising.

The New York Yankees are baseball's most storied team. They first played at Hilltop Park, then moved to the Polo Grounds, then Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, back to the renovated Yankee Stadium, and now in the new Yankee Stadium. They also frequently opened the season in Boston's historic Fenway Park, fondly remembered Shibe Park in Philadelphia, Griffith Stadium in Washington, and all around the expanded leagues after 1961. This book details every opening-day celebration and game from 1903 to 2017, while noting how each was affected by war, the economy, political and social protest and population shifts. We see presidents and politicians, entertainers, celebrities, and fans, owners, managers, and most of all, the players.

The New York Yankees were the strongest team in the majors from 1948 through 1960, capturing the American League Pennant 10 times and winning seven World Championships. The average fan, when asked who made the team so dominant, will mention Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford or Mickey Mantle. Some will insist manager Casey Stengel was the key. But pundits at the time, and respected historians today, consider the shy, often taciturn George Martin Weiss the real genius behind the Yankees' success. Weiss loved baseball but lacked the ability to play. He made up for it with the savvy to run a team better than his competitors. He spent more than 50 years in the game, including nearly 30 with the Yankees. Before becoming their general manager, he created their superlative farm system that supplied the club with talented players. When the Yankees retired him at 67, the newly franchised New York Mets immediately hired him to build their team. This book is the first definitive biography of Weiss, a Hall of Famer hailed for contributing "as much to baseball as any man the game could ever know."
