History of the Yankees: Before, During and After the Dynasty

The greatest franchise in American sports history will be celebrated by award-winning sportswriter and author of The Ultimate New York Yankees Time Machine Book. This program highlights exciting and nostalgic videos of the finest teams, players, moments and events in Yankees history, even going back to the days of the Highlanders - from the pre-Ruthian era to today. The program also features Yankees trivia questions for patrons to ponder and covers the best of the best, including Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Ford, Jeter, Rivera and Judge while spotlighting the top teams of the long Yankees dynasty from the 1920s to the 1960s and beyond. Marty will have his books for sale autographed and personalized after the program. This presentation is a lot of fun so feel free to join in!
