Download Damn Yankees: Twenty-Four Major League Writers on the World's Most Loved (and Hated) Team AudioBook Free
Love them or hate them, the New York Yankees have been an American institution for nearly a century. With their wealthy history and bright colored cast of character types, the Yankees never fail to encourage or provoke. Within 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, Costs James, and so many more - intensify to the dish to adopt their cuts. The effect is a assortment of original articles as idiosyncratic and expansive as the team that has influenced 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 sophistication of Catfish Hunter). Superbly written, deeply insightful, and packed with both love and humor, Damn Yankees is a totally fresh look at baseball's most long lasting franchise by the Murderers' Row of writers as stacked as that of the 1927 Yanks.
