Since their breakthrough championship season in 1923, when Yankee stadium opened, the New York Yankees have been baseball’s most successful, decorated, and colorful franchise. Home to Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Berra, Mantle, Jackson, and Mattingly; and later Torre, Jeter, Rivera, and Rodriguez, the team has been a fixture in our national consciousness.

Yet it’s been nearly 70 years since Frank Graham wrote the last narrative history of the team. Marty Appel, the Yankees’ PR director during the 1970s, now illuminates the team in all its century-plus of glory: clever, maneuvering owners; rowdy, talented players; and, of course, 27 championships. Appel heard war stories from old-timers like Mantle, Berra, and Casey Stengel, and has remained close to the organization ever since. A collector, writer, and raconteur, he gives life to the team’s history, from the muddy, uneven field at Hilltop Park in the 1900s to the evolution of today’s team as an international brand. Loaded with over a century’s worth of great stories and folklore, this is a treasure trove for lovers of sports, the Yankees, New York history, and America’s game.

great history of a great franchise. goes in depth at the right times, speeds through the lean years. only complaint is the guy reading it takes a ton of odd pausesthat become distracting.

I was shocked that in chapter 22, I heard my uncle, Joe Ostrowski, mentioned. (He played for the Yankees as a relief pitcher in 1950, 1951 and 1952.)
Yay!
And his name was pronounced correctly!

My Uncle Was Mentioned!!!

Really enjoyed this book. The history of the New York Yankees is long, turbulent and incredible successful, and Mr. Appel nailed it.

Well done, sir.

Just Fantastic!!

It is always interesting to learn about teams and people that are or were the best at what they did for a long time.
Maintaining greatness is harder then getting it once. True the Yankees have advantages in wealth and fan base.
However they still have to win the games they play. I am a neutral observer of baseball.
I like the game and this book told me a lot I did not.know. The narration was good but lacked passion.
Other then that it was worth the time and the credit..

Great book

Ever since I saw "Pride of the Yankees" as a young kid, I was in awe of the Yankees. Gehrig, Babe, DiMaggio, Mantle... such legends that you only knew in writing. But then to witness Bernie, Mo, Georgie, Paulie and, of course, Jeter... this team is truly special. Pinstripe Empire gives the whole story. The performance really draws you into the history and the author really cares in giving you the whole story, from its beginnings at Hilltop Park. No wonder this is one of the greatest sports franchise in history. Highly recommended for the baseball historian nut and any Yankees fan.

For the Yankee and baseball historian in you

There are a lot of great statistics, history, and depth to the book. It falls short of five stars because the book gets really in depth in a lot of seasons, reading more like an almanac at points.

Well-researched and presentef, this book is a must for Yankee and MLB Fans. I was admittedly disappointed in a lack of good Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson v. Billy Martin tales. Being a lifelong Reds fan, I would have liked hearing more on the 1976 World Series. More work on individual stories could have pushed this to 28-30 hours, and I wouldn't have minded it a bit. Still, I found this great effort well worth the listen and fond remembrance of a legendary MLB organization. The Yankees will always be a favorite to me!

A SOLID .300 BA WITH POWER!

The level of detail is astounding for any Yankee fan. A must listen and great account of the Bronx Bombers.

Fantastic!!!!

This book provides a great overview of every season of Yankees baseball from their founding in 1903 through the publication date in 2011. I was especially interested to hear about the pre-Babe years, which are seldom talked about. While the research and historical content is first rate, the narration was lacking a bit. The narrator is not unpleasant to listen to, but so many names were mispronounced that it got to be irritating.

A first rate history
