Damn Yankees!

Damn Yankees: Twenty-Four Major League Writers on the World's Most Loved (and Hated) Team
Edited by Rob Felder - 2010 HarperCollins Publishers

Rob Fleder says it himself in his introduction to this book, love them or hate them, everyone has an opinion about the New York Yankees.  This book proves it.

In Damn Yankees, Fleder has gathered essays from 24 top-notch writers about anything Yankee related.  Some speak about their experiences growing up as fans, as haters, as onlookers, but all talk about the Yankees and what they mean to them.

The collection of essays are interesting in their variety, each author talks about different times and topics, which means there's something for everyone here.  Some essays are better than others and then some are really good.  Number one pick for best essay: "The Errors of our Ways" by Pete Dexter.
