[Jacob Blanck · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Actually" 4.75 out of 5 stars -- Read this in under two hours. Loved it!

I'm pretty much a big Yankee fan who likes to read books about the Yankees - the most successful team in the big leagues. I have (so far!) read many of those about them and this one's a really quick read. Once you start reading this, you won't be able to put it down.

So why do I love those Yankees? It's all in the book ranging from the greatest players to having the most world championships to many players breaking major league records and making milestones too. Plus there's more like quotes from their famous players.

If you love the Yankees, you will love this book too. You'll even have a chance to own this book too.

P.S. Note the rate that there are some typos in this book.
