AussieYank Posts: 1,035	Guys I Need some reading material and I ain't talking about the Throne room kind (I can’t get boston newspapers here here in OZ) I want stuff on Yanks players and the Team itself. Let me know what you guys have for me please.

SouthernYankee Posts: 69	I highly recommend all the books by Mickey Mantle. Very interesting stories. Have faith in the Yankees my son. Think of the great DiMaggio.

RockinDaBronx Posts: 4,293	For a taste of the 80's the Winfield book is a fun read some nice nuggets in there . Overall Yankee history the Pinstripe Empire is tops ,beautiful book worth owning. Last Yankee book I read was the Last Boy, Mickey Mantle. Got it from the library, I would stay away from that one, bad pacing,kinda depressing with bizarre crap in there that I didnt need to read
