The Stanford (CT) Advocate posted this feature on native son Handrinos, author of The Truth About Ruth and More…Behind Yankees Myths, Legends, and More (Triumph).

Handrinos is the author of the 2006  book, The Best New York Sports Arguments.

“No player or topic is safe as Handrinos looks to give fans the most complete history on sports’ winningest franchise,” the article says. “A lot of what he found was surprising even to him….”

I have The Truth on my “to read” list, but wonder if the wake of Rob Neyer‘s 2008 book on myths and legends had a hand in this one, and any similar subsequent offerings.
