ISBN: 9780982285343 / Angielski / Miękka / 177 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Indeed, over 160 Jews are known to have played...

Yankee Pride: The Story of the New York Yankees in the 1960s ... Baseball's Real Golden Age
ISBN: 9781477469439 / Angielski / Miękka / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Yankee Pride tells the story of the New York Yankees during the decade of the 1960s.

The story follows how the Yankees returned to...
