Book First Edition
Trade paperback. Condition: Good. First Perigee printing [stated]. 112 pages. Illustrations. Cover has some wear and soiling. The first Yankee-haters were New Yorkers. They were fans of the New York Giants, who preceded the Yankees in town and earned the devotion of local baseball fans. Giant fans had reason to look down on the rest of baseball, and they viewed the Yankees with contempt. Under Manager John McGraw, the Giants won six pennants while the Yankees were still floundering after their first. When the Yankees finally bought their first pennant, in 1921, they found themselves facing the lordly Giants in the World Series. The Giants won that Series, five games to three. The Giants and Yankees won pennants again the next season, and the Giants swept that World Series, four games to none.By that time, hatred of the Yankees was fanning across America like a sweet spring breeze, nowhere more than in Boston. There, the Red Sox owner, Harry Frazee, had ripped apart a championship team, position by position, in exchange for Yankee gold. When the Yankees won their first world championship in 1923, their roster listed 11 former Red Sox stars, including Babe Ruth. Boston fans were not the only ones with reason to hate the Yankees. In 1922 the St. Louis Browns, of all people, fought the Yankees tooth and nail all season. In what was already becoming a tradition, the Yankees tipped the pennant race in their favor on July 23 by acquiring Joe Dugan, a star third baseman, from - guess who? - the Red Sox. St. Louis fans were incensed. The Chamber of Commerce adopted a resolution denouncing the Yankees for lack of sportsmanship. When the Yankees came to St. Louis for a decisive series in mid-September, Brownie fans were waiting. Sportsman's Park was sold out and fans stood behind ropes in the outfield.As America has grown and prospered, expressions of hatred toward the Yankees have flared in every city, in every era. Time and Yankee propaganda have had a softening effect on history, leaving the impression that Americans used to love the Yankees and root them on. Not so; fans have always turned out to root against the Yankees, not for them. Some fans have braved great personal risk, like the hero in Washington who decided that someone had to stop Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak in 1941. This selfless man vaulted onto the field between games of a doubleheader in old Griffith Stadium and made off with DiMaggio's favorite bat.After the Yankees beat the White Sox, 18-2, in Chicago one June day in 1953, a Chicago waiter refused to serve Casey Stengel, and a cabdriver threatened a kamikaze crash knowing he would die, but so would the creatures who had crawled into his cab -Yogi Berra, Joe Collins and Charlie Silvera of the Yankees.These days, hatred, like other things, is better organized. Pete Franklin, a popular sports talk-show host on radio station WWWE in Cleveland, staged his first ''Hate the Yankees Hanky Night'' on Sept. 5, 1977. Many veteran players feel the same way. Charlie Gehringer, a Hall of Fame second baseman who helped the Detroit Tigers win pennants in 1934, 1935 and 1940, is cheerfully incredulous when approached on the subject. ''Who do I root for? You mean who do I root against. The Yankees!'' This material was excerpted from ''The Official New York Yankee Hater's Handbook'' published by Perigee/Putnam by William B. Mead.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. This is an unread and pristine copy of this hard-to-find classic, a must for all who hate the Yankees, and even fans of the team with a sense of humor. I've had this book carefully stored since I worked for the publisher in the 1980s (when I actually WAS a fan of the team), and have a display for the book with additional new copies if anyone is interested in possible purchase of those as well. I can gladly supply photos to anyone interested.
