Klappentext
The iconic achievements of the 1927 New York Yankees--110 wins, a World Series sweep, 9 future Hall of Famers, including Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig--are the stuff of legend. A century later, the '27 Yankees epitomize the magnificent and fearsome, and the nickname given to the heart of their lineup--"murderers' row"--remains shorthand for greatness. Baseball fans have long known the contours of that magical season, but nearly lost to time is how the team was made--and that it nearly didn't happen at all. In Murderers' Row, sportswriter Sridhar Pappu tells the incredible story with drama and insight: the assembly of the team, including the famed Ruth and Gehrig but also a school dropout from San Francisco and a teacher from Kentucky; their thrilling exploits as the most fearsome hitters in the league; and their lasting achievement as the first modern sports dynasty.
