More than an opinion in most cases, but an opinion at the very least.\u003cbr\u003e--From the Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove them or hate them, the New York Yankees have been an American institution for nearly a century. With their rich history and colorful cast of characters, the Yankees never fail to inspire or provoke. In this exciting compendium, some of today's most acclaimed writers--including Pete Dexter, Colum McCann, Roy Blount Jr., Dan Barry, Jane Leavy, Charles P. Pierce, J. R. Moehringer, Daniel Okrent, Frank DeFord, Bill James, and many more--step up to the plate to take their cuts. The result is a collection of original essays as idiosyncratic and expansive as the team that has inspired them: ruminations on Babe Ruth's gravestone, Derek Jeter's swing, and the upper-deck vantage of the Oldest Living Yankee; dual allegiances; mortal rivalries; and every other subject that spans from the hilarious (the Yankee wife-swap of the '70s) to the sublime (the grace of Catfish Hunter).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuperbly written, deeply insightful, and full of both passion and humor, \u003cem\u003eDamn Yankees\u003c\/em\u003e is a completely fresh look at baseball's most enduring franchise by a Murderers' Row of writers as stacked as that of the 1927 Yanks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecco Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45356057723031,"sku":"9780062059628","price":1295.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780062059628.webp?v=1767671499","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/damn-yankees-twenty-four-major-league-writers-on-the-worlds-most-loved-and-hated-team-9780062059628","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
