I became a Yankee fan before I was old enough to understand the game. I loved the Scooter first. Then Yogi and all the great players I had the privelege of watching over the years. I was born and raised in Brooklyn and the family was not too happy about having a Yankee fan in the house. I took a lot of heat from friends too. I even turned my baby brother into a Yankee fan. My Mother took us to games every year and we never missed the Old Timer's Day celebrations. Perhaps she was a Yankee fan too. My brother and I spent many summer afternoons at the stadium. Oh how we loved double headers. Even today, every time I enter Yankee Stadium I am overwhelmed by a presence, a feeling of awe that is impossible to describe. I am going to miss that. The photographs and the history in this book are great and even greater are the memories they bring back. Yankee fans should own it.
