Celebrates the winners of twenty-two world championships as it profiles the team that was home to such baseball giants as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Casey Stengel, and Joe DiMaggio. Philip Francis Pepe [peppy] (March 21, 1935 - December 13, 2015) was an American baseball writer and radio voice who spent more than five decades covering sports in New York City. Pepe was a longtime Yankees beat writer who chronicled franchise greats from Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle to Reggie Jackson and Derek Jeter, and also authored dozens of books on some of the most significant figures in sports, including Come Out Smokin' on heavyweight champion Joe Frazier and covering such athletes as boxing legend Muhammad Ali and basketball stars Walt Frazier and Willis Reed during a prolific career that spanned generations. Pepe covered baseball for the News from 1969 through 1981. During the same period, Pepe wrote the lead game story for every World Series from 1969 to 1981, even in years when the Yankees did not make the Series. Among his books about the Yankees, Pepe wrote My Favorite Summer 1956, with Mickey Mantle and "New York Yankees:1961" an account of the Mantle-Maris home run chase for Ruth's record. He also wrote The Wit and Wisdom of Yogi Berra; and Slick, an autobiography of Whitey Ford. Filled with vivid photography and analysis of the greatest Yankee moments, readers will be enthralled by historical retrospectives all the way back to the early nineteen hundreds. Renowned sportswriter Phil Pepe wrote this classic history of the team to give Yankees fans the finest chronicle—in photographs and text—of America's team. The New York Yankees are an American professional baseball team based in the New York City borough of the Bronx. The Yankees compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) East division. They are one of two major league clubs based in New York City alongside the National League (NL)'s New York Mets. The team was founded in 1903 when Frank Farrell and Bill Devery purchased the franchise rights to the defunct Baltimore Orioles after it ceased operations and used them to establish the New York Highlanders. The Highlanders were officially renamed the New York Yankees in 1913. The team is owned by Yankee Global Enterprises, a limited liability company that is controlled by the family of the late George Steinbrenner. Steinbrenner purchased the team from CBS in 1973. Currently, Brian Cashman is the team's general manager, and Aaron Boone is the team's field manager. The team's home games were played at the original Yankee Stadium in the Bronx from 1923 to 1973 and from 1976 to 2008. In 1974 and 1975, the Yankees shared Shea Stadium with the Mets, in addition to the New York Jets and the New York Giants. In 2009, they moved into a new ballpark of the same name that was constructed adjacent to the previous facility, which was closed and demolished. The team is perennially among the leaders in MLB attendance. One of the most successful professional sports clubs in the United States, the Yankees have won 20 American League East Division titles, 40 American League pennants, and 27 World Series championships, all of which are MLB records.
