Five OClock Lightning: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and the Greatest Baseball Team in History, The 1927 New York Yankees

Advance Praise for Five O'Clock Lightning"Come along with Harvey Frommer on a jaunty stroll through baseball eighty years ago. The 1927 Yankees may or may not have been the best team ever, but surely this is the best book about that wonderful concentration of talent."--George F. Will"Harvey Frommer brings the perceptive eye of a historian to what was arguably the most feared batting order of all time. Add to that his contagious enthusiasm for classic baseball and you have a most enjoyable book."--Roger Kahn"An engrossing and entertaining look at a mythical baseball team. Ride the trains, chew the tobacco, and have fun."--Leigh Montville, author of The Big Bam: The Life and Times of Babe Ruth"How great were the '27 Yankees? So great that even now, eighty years later, they still have the power to astonish and entertain.
