Description
The New York Yankees don't call themselves the "Bronx Bombers" for nothing. And though Babe Ruth did not invent the home run, he did indeed popularize it and make it seem less vulgar. New York Yankees Home Run Almanac presents a month-by-month tally of historic, important, unusual, or titanic home runs, hit mostly by Yankees (or players who hit them at Yankees ballparks).

"I have seen and surrendered many home runs at historic Yankee Stadium. Fascinating to read about so many memorable ones. Doug provides some great memories in this book." -Jim Kaat "As a fan of baseball history, I love the ironies and oddities Doug Lyons has collected in these pages. In fact, I'll probably borrow a few for my next book." --Dan Schlossberg, author, The New Baseball Bible: Notes, Nuggets, Lists & Legends from Our National Pastime
