Charlie Gentile

The 1928 New York Yankees

The Return of Murderers' Row

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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 "Murderers' Row" lineup were still there-including Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig-and this detailed account provides a fascinating look into a season to remember.
