Do pinstripes get you peeved? Do you wish the "House That Ruth Built" would get condemned? Are you convinced that George Steinbrenner is in league with Lucifer? Then this is the book for you Let's face it, Yankees-haters have two favorite teams: their team, and whatever team is playing against the Yankees that day. Now, the Bronx Bomber bashers have their own handbook that shows how anyone, anywhere, of any age, can hate the Yankees like a pro in no time Full of fun facts and anecdotes from around the league-as well as helpful, easy-to-follow rituals, chants, and keys to helping every non-Yankee fan focus their rage, disappointment, and burning jealousy from opening day right up until the Yanks walk away with yet another completely undeserved World Series Championship
I read this little tomette and thoroughly enjoyed its content, despite the somewhat disjointed manner in which it was written.The in depth knowledge of the inner workings of Yankeedom displayed, cut far deeper than the typical mudslinging rot engaged in by Yankee -haters.There is no way that a Yankee hater would be up to snuff on the Ed Whitson Phantom Gastroenteritis due to his Yankee stadium phobia, or the homophobic attack against the dugout assistant by Mariano Rivera et al, which were almost invisible in the main stream media.Only a a yankee fan would be so embarrassed and outraged by Mariano`s, all too human foibles and dumbstruck by the Whitson meltdown, as I surely will never forget!No, folks,you all missed it!This author wrote this as a paragon for the Yankee hater, but from the perspective of a Yankee fan, clearly with some glossal mucosa wedged in cheek!Now, go back and re-read this, knowing that the author is a yankee fan and then review the book.You`ll be amazed how much more intelligent of a read it makes when you pursue it without the reflex revenge of your own pro-yankeee prejudice.In other words, many of you hated the book, simply because you assumed the author was a yankee hater.How foolish of you and how perceptive of me!
As the title states... it isn't for Yankee Fans!!!

I wonder how many more reviews will appear here from Yankee fans condemning this book. It may not be the best book in the world but Yankee fans take their team a little too seriously. You all need to develop a sense of humor when it come to you precious Bronx Bombers.
