<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"(The Least Among Them) is the ultimate insider book." - Marty Appel <p/> "This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball's power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond." - Jonathan Eig <p/> The Least Among Them is a most special baseball book that looks at the New York Yankees history in an original, unique, and never before written manner. Throughout their history, the New York Yankees have been defined by the legends and the successes of their most famous players. But, as part of their long history, the Yankees have also fielded players that have become lost to history. This book is those players' story, telling the unique histories of the men whose entire major league baseball career lasted but a single game with that game being played as a New York Yankee. While these players may be forgotten, their stories are compelling. Filled with a unique Yankee history, single game stats, and a love of baseball, The Least Among Them tells the story of baseball's most successful franchise in an entirely new way.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Every guy who spends just one day on an MLB team's 25-man roster represents the dreams of tens of thousands of boys.
