E-raamat: Bridging Two Dynasties: The 1947 New York Yankees

"1947 was something else. Being twenty-one and in my first season, it felt marvelous to be on the Yankees, playing in Yankee Stadium with all those guys. Then winning the World Series against the Dodgersthat was awfully exciting."Yogi Berra "For all people interested in baseball and the Yankees, this book should be an enjoyable one. Virtually all these players were products of 'The Greatest Generation.' The vast majority of us were in the service of our country in World War II. . . . It was a team without rancor or discord. Ownership consisting of Larry MacPhail, Dan Topping, and Del Webb were supportive and balanced effectively the needs of being accessible but not intrusive. . . . It was a terrific Yankee year."Robert W. "Bobby" Brown, MD, former Yankees player and president of the American League 198494 "[ Bridging Two Dynasties is] an intense and evocative study. . . . The pieces are written in the lively voices of writers deeply instilled with Yankees lore. Fans of the historical Yankees are likely to love this. For every Yankees collection."Library Journal "This is a well-researched, informative book that puts a pivotal year of Yankees history into proper perspective. New York had flashier stars, better pitchers and hitters and gaudier statistics in other years, but the 1947 squad deserves some respect, too."Bob D'Angelo, Tampa Tribune "An exceptional piece of work."C70 at the Bat
