DAMN YANKEES Twenty Four Major League Writers on the World's Most Loved (and Hated) Team

As one of the most recognizable brands in America, the New York Yankees are a team almost everyone has an opinion about. These 24 stories read by four narrators run the gamut of raw emotions. You can hear the seething hatred and bitter frustration surrounding all 27 World Championships; conversely, you can also hear the respect and nostalgia the team elicits as well. Though stats and game recollections are prevalent, it’s when the stories delve into the personal connections and family traditions of the authors that the narrations take on a larger meaning. Baseball, more than other sports, is woven into the tapestry of American life, and because the Yankees are in our largest media market, their stars are as well.
