Yankee Pride tells the story of the New York Yankees during the decade of the 1960s. It chronicles how the team won consecutive American League pennants during the first five years of the 1960s, winning two World Series titles and losing two others in dramatic and, for Yankee fans, heartbreaking sevengame series. The story then turns to the Yankees' fall from glory starting in 1965, and then into the American League cellar in 1966, the first time that the Yankee organization had finished in last place since its preRuthian days of 1912. The story follows how the Yankees returned to respectability in the last three years of the decade, winning on pitching and defense rather than the powerhitting that had been so synonymous with Yankee baseball in the team's glory days. Yankee Pride takes you yearbyyear, monthbymonth, even gamebygame. The entire decade unfolds before your eyes as you watch the Yankee greats of the 1960s: Mickey Mantle hitting for power and average, compiling amazing offensive numbers despite the injuries that increasingly limited his playing time. Roger Maris as he leads the American League in runs batted in while winning backtoback MVP awards and smashes Babe Ruths singleseason home run record, the record once believed could never be broken. Watch Whitey Ford go 80 in June of 1961 on his way to a 254 Cy Young season ... on his way to a Hall of Fame career. Follow two young pitchers (Al Downing in 1963 and Mel Stottlemyre in 1964) whose amazing debut seasons propelled the Yankees to pennants in tough races. Meet the 1960s Yankee players who made the franchise the most successful in baseball history: Slugging first baseman Bill Moose Skowron, World Series dynamo Bobby Richardson, 1963 MVP Elston Howard, pitcher Luis Arroyo who redefined forever the role of closer, and so many more. Meet the Yankee stars of the late 1960s, whose fine play fell short of glory but who propelled the franchise back to respectability: outfielders like Tom Tresh and Bobby Murcer, hitters like Joe Pepitone, pitchers like Fritz Peterson, Stan Bahnsen, Hal Reniff and Lindy McDaniel. No other baseball history gives you so many ways to relive the excitement and drama of the New York Yankees in the 1960s.
