Dozens and dozens of books have been written about the New York Yankees. This book is different than any book previously written about the Yankees because it thoroughly documents the tickets and passes used by the team from 1903 (the year the franchise joined the American League) to 1951 (Mantle s rookie year). There are many photos and images of other Yankee memorabilia with the narrative of the Yankees history artfully woven together. But it is the preservation of the images of the tickets and the passes together with the association of undated ticket with the year they were used that makes this book standout from other Yankee books.
