INTRODUCTION
"Michael Aubrecht has hammered a
grand slammer with his 'Luckiest Fans On The Face
Of This Earth: History of New York Yankees Fall
Classics.'" - Harvey Frommer, New York Yankees
historian, author of A YANKEE CENTURY and NEW YORK
YANKEE ENCYCLOPEDIA as well as 33+ books on
America's National Pastime
"The New York Yankees franchise is
synonymous with the World Series. Join historian
Michael Aubrecht as he examines the long history of
the Bronx Bombers and their relationship with the
Fall Classic." - Sean Holtz,
Baseball-Almanac.com
No team in the history of Major
League Baseball has ever dominated the postseason
like the New York Yankees and their storied
franchise currently leads all sports teams in
championships-won. From Ruth and Gehrig - to Jeter
and Rivera - the history of the "Bronx Bombers" in
the Fall Classic continues to be written and
rewritten again and again! The intent of this
website is to provide fans with a concise, online
reference guide featuring New York's World Series
notables. I have also included several detailed
studies into my own personal favorite Yankees World
Series subjects, little known facts from
Baseball-Almanac and key historical events that
took place off the field. From purists and
historians, to novices alike, this website has
something for everyone!
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Once again, I owe a special debt of
gratitude to my father, Thomas Aubrecht, who spent
countless hours reviewing and proofreading my work.
I would also like to thank Sean Holtz from
Baseball-Almanac, whose belief in a fanatical fan
resulted in my first writing assignment. And that
has evolved, over the years, into so much more. I
also want to thank Harvey Frommer, "the true"
Yankees historian, as well as the author of
thirty-plus books, and the baseball writer that I
hope to someday emulate. Finally, I would like to
thank the New York Yankees, who have provided me
with an endless "highlight reel" of memories that
has rekindled my passion for America's National
Pastime - time and time again.
