{"product_id":"9781683582274","title":"Yankees by the Numbers: A Complete Team History of the Bronx Bombers by Uniform Number","description":"\u003cbr\u003eWhat do Mark Koenig, Red Rolfe, Frank Crosetti, Sandy Alomar, Bobby Murcer, Wayne Tolleson, and Derek Jeter all have in common? They all wore #2 for the New York Yankees, even though nearly eight decades have passed between the first time Koenig buttoned up a Yankee uniform with that number and the last time Jeter performed the same routine.\u003cp\u003eSince 1929, the Yankees have issued 73 different numbers to more than 1,500 players. That’s a lot of overlap. That also makes for a lot of good stories. Yankees by the Numbers tells those stories for every Yankee since ’29—from Earle Combs (the original #1) to Charlie Keller (the only Yankee to ever wear #99)—providing insightful and humorous commentary about the more memorable players, from a fan’s perspective. Complete with more than 100 baseball cards (courtesy of the Topps Company), each chapter also features a fascinating sidebar that reveals which players were the most obscure to wear a certain number, and also which numbers produced the most wins, home runs and stolen bases in club history. For data seekers, the Yankees Alphabetical Roster is a complete listing of every single Yankee since 1929, the numbers they wore, and their years of service at the House that Ruth Built.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sports Publishing LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057969348848,"sku":"9781683582274","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781683582274_p0.jpg?v=1763700922","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781683582274","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
