About the Author

Richard Bak, sports historian and author of New York Yankees: The Golden Era, tells the story of this historic team with an illustrated chronicle using nearly 190 vintage photographs, period advertisements, and historic scorecards to recapture 75 years of memories provided by the New York Giants, a team that--with apologies to Tony Bennett--may have moved to San Francisco but left its heart in Manhattan.
