Derived from a NYT obituary, Harvey Frommer was a sports historian who wrote extensively about the Yankees. His dozens of books include an exploration of Robinson's breaking baseball's modern color barrier in 1947 and Shoeless Joe Jackson's banishment from baseball. Mr. Frommer focused on the Yankees in the 1990s with books like "A Yankee Century: A Celebration of the First Hundred Years of Baseball's Greatest Team" and "Five O'Clock Lightning" , about the slugging 1927 team led by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. He said that hearing Red Barber call play-by-play and tell stories "got me interested in speech, in literature and also baseball". Mr. Frommer graduated from New York University with a bachelor's degree in journalism and then earned a master's in English. He went on to earn a doctorate at N.Y.U., writing his dissertation on the intersection of sports and television. His first book, "A Baseball Century: The First 100 Years of the National League," was published in 1976. Mr. Frommer had been a professor of liberal studies at Dartmouth College since the 1990s. In honor of the centennial of baseball's winningest team, this richly illustrated volume offers profiles of the team's legendary players and coaches, detailed statistics, unforgettable moments on and off the field, rare period photographs, trivia, and more. Derived from a New York Times obituary, Harvey Frommer was a sports historian who wrote extensively about the Yankees. Mr. Frommer's fascination with baseball began in Brooklyn during the 1940s and '50s, when the Dodgers, Yankees and Giants dazzled New York City with star players like Jackie Robinson, Joe DiMaggio and Willie Mays. Mr. Frommer maintained a torrid pace of writing for 40 years. His dozens of books include an exploration of Robinson's breaking baseball's modern color barrier in 1947 and Shoeless Joe Jackson's banishment from baseball for his supposed role in fixing the 1919 World Series with seven Chicago White Sox teammates. Mr. Frommer focused on the Yankees in the 1990s with books like "The New York Yankee Encyclopedia" (1997); "A Yankee Century: A Celebration of the First Hundred Years of Baseball's Greatest Team" (2002); "Five O'Clock Lightning" (2008), about the slugging 1927 team led by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig; and "Remembering Yankee Stadium" (2008), in which he combined oral and narrative history. It was Red Barber, the Dodgers' famously literate radio announcer, who inspired Mr. Frommer. He said that hearing Mr. Barber call play-by-play and tell stories "got me interested in speech, in literature and also baseball," he told The New York Times in 1980. Mr. Frommer graduated from New York University with a bachelor's degree in journalism and then earned a master's in English. He went on to study for a doctorate at N.Y.U. in the 1970s, writing his dissertation on the intersection of sports and television. It whetted his appetite for writing, and his first book, "A Baseball Century: The First 100 Years of the National League," was published in 1976. Mr. Frommer had been a professor of liberal studies at Dartmouth College since the mid-1990s.
