There are some surprises--judging by the number of Yankee-hating episodes submitted, Pittsburgh seems to be the most aggrieved city, while the Red Sox are now as much hated as their hated rivals. Along the way, the book offers some serious insights into the Yankees themselves, the country's relationship to New York City before and after 9\/11, our long-running love affair with sports, and our decidedly fickle feelings about success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Warner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313357048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313357046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/06\/2009 pg. 23","brand":"Charles Warner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47610986725631,"sku":"9780313357046","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ad42257-0881-4e20-8902-2ed2ad7a65a2.jpg?v=1764510967","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-team-america-loves-to-charles-warner-9780313357046","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
