Those damn Yankees! Whether you think they’re the epitome of athletic achievement and American greatness, or you see them as the devil’s spawn, there’s no denying the impact the Bronx Bombers have had, not only on the sport, but on popular culture as well.
In Damn Yankees, editor Rob Fleder called on 24 of our most acclaimed writers to share their thoughts, opinions, perspectives and insights on America’s most loved (and hated) team. The essays are as varied as the contributors. Roy Blount, Jr.—a son of the South—kicks it off with an engaging look at his history with the team, biographer Jane Leavy offers a fresh take on the Mick, and Frank Deford gives us a hilarious rant about everything he hates about the team (a must-read in itself!). And that’s just the beginning.
Also featuring Daniel Okrent’s uproarious report on the infamous Yankee wife-swap of the ’70s and Steve Rushin’s meditation on the mortality of Yankee immortals, the book also includes contributions by Dan Barry, Bruce McCall, Sally Jenkins, Steve Wulf and more. Packed with both passion and humor, this is a completely fresh look at baseball’s most enduring franchise that’s not to be missed.
