Those Damned Yankees[edit]
Those Damned Yankees: The Not-So-Great History of Baseball's Evil Empire recounts the dark side of the seemingly all-powerful New York Yankees. A compilation of short stories and essays by the likes of Dale Arnold of WEEI radio, Tom Caron of NESN, former Red Sox pitcher Bill "Spaceman" Lee, and more, the book compounds the intense hatred of the Yankees by those both in and out of Red-Sox Nation. Canfield included every disastrous detail, from the team's horrible trades and blowout losses to the player's behavior and crushing World Series defeats.[5]
