Shameless Self Promotion: Yankees Annual 2010

Written by Greg Fertel | 24 February 2010

The Maple Street Press 2010 Yankees Annual is now available for order. Why am I telling you this? Because, for some crazy reason, those awesome Maple Street Press people had me contribute a story on Phil Hughes, detailing what went right for him in 2009 and what the Yankees should do with him long-term. It came out pretty good, if I may say so myself.

Now, if you're thinking that you read enough of my nonsense here at Pending Pinstripes, buy the 2010 Yankees Annual for the other content. Former Pending Pinstripes scribe and current TYU writer EJ Fagan contributed two great pieces to the annual: one profiling the prized Jesus Montero and the other detailing the state of the farm system.

Now, if you're worried that it is going to be some measly pamphlet that just has a few bloggers contributing, you're wrong. The editor, Cecilia Tan, did a wonderful job putting the entire thing together. The design, content, and layout matches up to any major publication out there. Given the writers' devotion to the Yankees, the content may even top them. I read the entire thing and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The writing is top-notch, the pictures are great, and I'm in it. What more could you want? At $12, I don't think you'll find a better Yankees book available right now. You can go ahead and order it online, or wait until it hits newsstands on March 3rd.

On a side note, I'm heading to Costa Rica for a week and probably won't be posting while I'm away. Don't let that stop you from coming back, as I'm leaving you in perfectly capable hands with Sean holding it down.
