        Hey Clipper, you always do such a great job on these threads, how the heck do ya do it? just a hypoyhetical question, no need to answer 




Thank you for your kind words. I've been a  New York Yankees fan since 1957. I did alot of reading about the team's history when I was growing up. I have a good size Yankees book library including my original Yankee yearbooks.  The idea for the This Week in Yankees History column came from the original copy of This Date in New York Yankees History by Nathan Salant, orginally published in 1979, given to me by a friend, the book was later revised in 1983.


With rise of  the internet came more information to read about the team. Now there so great Yankee websites like www.lonecadaver.com for excellant Yankee photographs in color and B&W from 1903-to the present teams. Be sure to check this web site out it is the greatest!
