When the Yankees Were on the Fritz: Revisiting the Horace Clarke Years. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781505439052)

This is a book written by a player who was on the Yankees all but one month of the "Horace Clarke Era," Fritz Peterson. Many personal stories are told about these 8+ years of Yankee history from a player who lived them from 1966-1974 explaining why the Yankees could not have won any pennants during those lean years the New York Yankees. Still, even without any pennants under his belt, Fritz feels blessed having worn Yankee pinstripes with such teammates as Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Whitey Ford, Elston Howard, Mel Stottlemyre, to Thurman Munson, Bobby Murcer, Roy White and some of the Yankees who became the foundation of the George Steinbrenner Era. Fritz brought entertainment into the clubhouse from his first day there until a massive trade sent him and 3 teammates to Cleveland as part of the rebuilding process.
