"Who writes what you read about the Yankees? Who preserves the action in pictures? Who brings you the play-by-play on radio and TV? The press corps. [These] are the pros behind the words, the pictures and the picture tube.
Traditionally the Yankees have been big news ... winning pennants and World Series, setting records ... and even in second division finishes. Now, in the exciting rebuilding stage, the Yankees remain big news ... in New York and all over the baseball world."
