Anyone who has a passionate disdain of the New York Yankees needs to own this spiral-bound resource that focuses on the litany of mistakes and misdeeds of baseball's most despised franchise.

Written by Gabriel Schechter, a researcher at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, the hybrid book/calendar lists each day of the year and a few events accompanied by a quote that highlight the lowlights the Yankees have experienced on a daily basis.

With a policy of accentuating the negatives and eliminating the positives, the author provides ammunition for baseball fans to use against their Yankee counterparts one day at a time.

Featuring a foreword by former Red Sox pitcher and noted Yankee hater Bill Lee, This BAD Day in Yankees History is a celebration of everything bad that has happened to the boys from the Bronx both on and off the field.

MAINTENANCE COSTS?
1978:
City Comptroller Harrison Goldin alleges that city officials failed to review "maintenance costs" submitted by the Yankees which allowed them to get away with paying $170,000 in rent rather than $1 million. The "maintenance" included costs of filming television commercials starring Catfish Hunger and Joe DiMaggio.

ONE-TWO PUNCH
1993:
Carlos Baerga of the Indians becomes the first player to hit home runs from both sides of the plate in one inning, nailing Steve Howe and Steve Farr as the Indians trounce the Yankees 15-5.

Quote of the Day: 1989. Manager Dallas Green, en route to a 1-7 start: "We stink. We're playing dumb baseball...We've done some dumb things offensively, and we've pitched like Little Leaguers."
