Great baseball bookBy James CramerGreat history of the game. Found some Italians I never knew about. What a group! Really liked the family stories.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Terrific book!By A readerIf you're a baseball fan, this book is for you--a volume that delivers what it promises: comprehensive coverage of Italian American ballplayers from the first one ever recorded-- named Ed Abbaticchio--right up to the present. As the title implies, it goes WAY beyond DiMaggio, acquainting the reader with dozens of lesser-known Italian American players, and covering the careers of famous players of Italian origin other than the Yankee Clipper. Beyond that, the author describes the social and economic forces at work in each of the periods he covers, which makes the book a major contribution to both sports history and cultural history.But this is by no means an "academic" book.

  • 1921 NY Yankees
    1921 NEW YORK YANKEES By Alan Raylesberg The 1921 New York Yankees are the team that started it all. As the most successful franchise in baseball history, the Yankees (as of 2020) have won 27 World Series championships, 40 American League pennants, and 18 American League East titles.1 When Babe Ruth joined them in 1920, the Yankees had never won the pennant. Led by Ruth, that changed in 1921 as the Yankees won their first pennant, before losing to the New York Giants in the World Series. The Yankees would go on to win six pennants and three World Series during the decade as their dynasty began. The Yankees were one of eight teams when the American League began in 1901. Originally, they played in Baltimore and were known as the Orioles (no relation to the current Baltimore Orioles). In 1903 the team was sold and moved to New York City, where they played at Hilltop Park as the Highlanders. In 1913 they moved to the Polo Grounds as tenants of the New York Giants and were renamed the Yankees.2 The early versions of the Highlanders and Yankees did not meet with much success, never finishing higher than second in the American League. Everything changed in the winter of 1919 when the Boston Red Sox sold Ruth to the Yankees for $100,000. In 1920, his first season with the Yankees, Ruth shattered his own major-league record by belting 54 home runs3 as the Yankees finished third, three games behind the pennant- winning Cleveland Indians.4 In 1921 the Yankees finished first, ahead of the Indians, as the 26-year-old Ruth broke his own single-season home-run record yet again, hitting 59.5 After trailing Cleveland by a small margin for most of the season, the Yankees took three of four from the Indians in late September and won the pennant with a club record 98 wins.
