Pocket Books Gets Yankee Stadium retrospective

September 6, 2007

From Publishers Weekly, Sept. 4, 2007

With 2008 set to be the last year that the New York Yankees will play in the current Yankee Stadium, Pocket Books’ v-p and deputy publisher Anthony Ziccardi has acquired Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective.

The book, acquired from Mark Vancil of Rare Air Media, will feature more than 150 photographs plus first person accounts of the stadium by not only current and past Yankees, but by such politicians and celebrities as George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Muhammad Ali. The hardcover, which will include an introduction by Yankee owner George Steinbrenner and a foreword by former NYC major (and Yankee fan) Rudy Giuliani, will be released next March, to coincide with the beginning of the baseball season. The team will move into a new stadium in 2009.
