Klappentext This book carefully examines the careers of the players who made the greatest impact on the most successful franchise in the history of professional sports. This ranking was determined based on factors such as: the extent to which each player added to the Yankees legacy, the degree to which he impacted the fortunes of his team, and the level of dominance he attained while wearing the Yankee uniform. Features of The 50 Greatest Players in New York Yankees History include each player's notable achievements, recaps of the player's most memorable performances, summaries of each player's best season, and quotes from opposing players and former teammates.
