Mr. Book just finished The New York Yankees Of The 1950s: Mantle, Stengel, Berra And A Decade Of Dominance, by David Fischer.

This book is a year by year review of the Yankees in the 1950s. The Yankees won eight American League pennants and six World Series titles during that year. This book did a very good job recapping each season, covering all of the key games. There was complete game by game coverage of each World Series the Yankees were involved in. There were plenty of good stories about the players and manager Casey Stengel.

I give this book an A.

Goodreads requires grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, an A equates to 5 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).
