ESPN.com's "designated Yankee hater," Jim Caple, takes on baseball's twenty-six-time World Champions, and offers a decidedly different slant on the New York Yankees-the losers of thirteen World Series. Caple sends up the evil empire with scathing irony. A creative and unauthorized time line pokes fun at the organization's trades, its legendary vanity, and its near-lethal stadium food. He skewers the owners, coaches, and players-from the target of all targets George Steinbrenner to the pinstriped icons in the House That Ruth Built. Heroes and lesser mortals appear in all their tarnished glory, whether they're playing in a World Series shutout, participating in drunken brawls at strip joints, or engaging in the notorious wife-swapping incident of the 1970s.Caple, Jim is the author of 'Devil Wears Pinstripes George Steinbrenner, the Satans of Swat, and the Curse of A-Rod', published 2005 under ISBN 9780452285989 and ISBN 0452285984.
