The 1928 New York Yankees: The Return of Murderers' Row

Synopsis

This Book Tells The Story Of The 1928 New York Yankees, Who Won The World Series And Fell Just Short Of Surpassing The Record Accomplishments Of The 1927 Yankees. Many Players From That 1927 “murderers' Row” Team Were Still There, Including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Bob Meusel, Earle Combs, Mark Koenig, And Tony Lazzeri. In Spite Of Holding A Commanding Fourteen Game Edge Over The Second Place Philadelphia Athletics Midway Through The Season, The Yankees Saw Their Lead Disappear With Just Three Weeks Remaining. Manager Miller Huggins Pulled Together His Patchwork Pitching Staff And Banged-up Regulars And Reserves To Mount A Nail-biting Fight To The Finish. Highlighted By Numerous Images Of The Key Players For The Yankees, This Detailed And Thoroughly Researched Book Provides An Intimate Look Into A Season To Remember.
