The
New York Yankees have amassed more World Series rings than any two other
baseball franchises combined, but weren’t always the sport’s overlords. The
year 1904 found them in the unique role of outsiders and underdogs chasing after
their first championship.
They
weren’t even the Yankees then, but the Highlanders. How might a Highlander
World Championship team be enshrined at Monument Park? We will never know,
because they didn’t win the 1904 Series. Nor did anyone else that crazy season,
the titular subject of this book.
