The book mixes and matches voices from as far back as the 1920s to  today providing the perspective of the rank and file who give the nitty gritty that the you won't find from heavier names, those who will say over and over again:

"When I stepped out onto the Stadium . . ." Instead, nearly one hundred voices give the book a sense of place and time and people. There are Hall of Famers (Hall of Famers in the book include: Sparky Anderson, Rod Carew, Jerry Coleman, Rollie Fingers, Whitey Ford, Monte Irvin,

George Kell, Paul Molitor, Brooks Robinson) bat boys, fans, vendors, famed broadcasters and authors, Yankee players and managers as well as their rivals, and long-time observers of the Stadium scene. There are game calls from legends like Mel Allen, Frank Messer, Phil Rizzuto, Michael Kay. “There is the smell of mustard and the smell of jockstraps, the feel of being crushed, eight deep on the downtown D train after a game. And a sense of

place you won't find in any "official" history enhanced by more than 200 images, many of them archival and many never before published in a book. There are

ticket stubs, baseball cards, program covers, scorecards. And there is a large "Stadiumology" section with stats and facts, first and lasts. Sportstalkny can be heard live every Wednesday night from 9 PM EST to 11 PM EST at www.sportstalknylive.com
