Book excerpt: In January of 1903, American League president Ban Johnson, “his pince-nez riding precariously on the bridge of his nose,” raised a glass to toast his young baseball league, which had just received permission to purchase the Baltimore organization and establish a team in New York City. That marked the genesis of the fabulous Yankee franchise (known in 1903 as the Highlanders) as well as the opening chapter of Frank Graham’s The New York Yankees: An Informal History. One of fifteen team histories commissioned by G. P. Putnam’s Sons in the 1940s and 1950s, The New York Yankees traces the most successful team in either league from the beginning through their 1943 World Series victory over the Cardinals, ending with a quick synopsis of the 1944 season. In Yankee (and baseball) history, of course, Babe Ruth stands above all the rest, but he is flanked by such legends as Joe DiMaggio and Lou Gehrig. Wee Willie Keeler is there, too, joined by fellow Hall of Famers Charlie “Red” Ruffing, Herb Pennock, and Bill Dickey. The Hall of Fame lineup also includes Miller Huggins, Lefty Gomez, Ed Barrow, Joe McCarthy, Tony Lazzeri, Waite Hoyt, and Earle Combs. In his foreword, Leonard Koppett writes that Graham’s “New York Sun columns called ‘Overheard in the Dugout’ delighted me as I was growing up; but what I learned later, when I got to work alongside him, was that they were as good and as reliable as court transcripts. He didn’t take a lot of notes. He just absorbed what was being said—and what it meant in the right context—and reproduced it in graceful prose and natural speech. It is this style of narration through dialogue that makes his books come so alive.” Twenty-four black-and-white Yankee photographs enliven Graham’s informal history.

Book excerpt: The New York Yankees ball club is perhaps the most celebrated team in baseball history. Initially known as the Baltimore Orioles, the Yankees moved to New York prior to the start of the 1903 American League season and were known as the Hilltoppers or Highlanders for the first decade of their existence before becoming the Yankees prior to the 1913 season. This day-by-day work chronicles the team from 1903 to the present, focusing on both players and events involving the Yankees. Noted are such milestones as significant trades and personnel moves, administrative issues, player births and deaths, memorable games, and miscellaneous facts. * April 10, 1913: After 10 years as the Highlanders and Hilltoppers, the club plays its first game as the Yankees. They lose 2-1, to Walter Johnson and the Washington Senators. * July 17, 1941: Indians third baseman Ken Keltner proves an agent to history when his dazzling glove work at the hot corner ensures that Joe DiMaggio will go hitless for the first time since May 15. DiMaggio's record-setting streak ends at 56 games. * October 1, 1961: After a summer of media scrutiny, Roger Maris survives the challenge of teammate Mickey Mantle and the suffocating shadow of Babe Ruth, launching his 61st home run of the season to establish a new record. * October 26, 2000: In the last World Series game of the 20th century, the Yankees defeat the New York Mets in Shea Stadium for their 26th world championship. They did not win their first title until October 15, 1923.

Download or read book George Weiss written by Burton A. Boxerman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-08-08 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Yankees were the strongest team in the majors from 1948 through 1960, capturing the American League Pennant 10 times and winning seven World Championships. The average fan, when asked who made the team so dominant, will mention Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford or Mickey Mantle. Some will insist manager Casey Stengel was the key. But pundits at the time, and respected historians today, consider the shy, often taciturn George Martin Weiss the real genius behind the Yankees' success. Weiss loved baseball but lacked the ability to play. He made up for it with the savvy to run a team better than his competitors. He spent more than 50 years in the game, including nearly 30 with the Yankees. Before becoming their general manager, he created their superlative farm system that supplied the club with talented players. When the Yankees retired him at 67, the newly franchised New York Mets immediately hired him to build their team. This book is the first definitive biography of Weiss, a Hall of Famer hailed for contributing "as much to baseball as any man the game could ever know."

Book excerpt: Two years after the establishment of the American Baseball League in 1901, New Yorkers Frank Farrell and Bill Devery purchased the American League Baltimore Orioles for $18,000 and moved the franchise to New York. They built a stadium in Washington Heights and called the team the Highlanders. This was the humble beginning of the legendary New York Yankees, who went on to be the greatest winning team of the twentieth century. This fascinating pictorial history of the Yankees chronicles the evolution of the team between 1903 and 1928. Featured are rare and spectacular photographs of players, managers, the early spring training sites, and Hilltop Park. Highlights include the team's rivalry with John McGraw's New York Giants; the story of pitcher Jack Chesbro, who despite his record forty-one wins, lost the pennant because of a wild pitch in the last game of the season; the construction of Yankee Stadium, completed in 1923; and the development by 1927 of one of the Yankees' greatest teams, which included Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
