After 19 seasons in the major leagues, all with a single team—a feat few athletes in today’s modern sport can match—Mariano Rivera closes out his career with the New York Yankees at the conclusion of the 2013 season. New York’s much-loved closer retires as baseball’s all-time leader in saves, ERA, and appearances, and he holds the Yankees’ single-season saves record as well. Few could have predicted when the Yankees brought Rivera up to the majors in 1995 that he would one day hold the record for most career games pitched with a single team. Rivera did much more than lead by example; he powered his team to five World Series championships: 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2009. Celebrate Mo’s amazing career with this full-color pictorial keepsake packed with unique images and exemplary writing from New York’s award-winning newspaper, the New York Post.
This commemorative book on the Super Bowl XLVI champions provides a visual look at the New York Giants’ road to glory and their 21–17 victory over the New England Patriots. Packed with stunning action photography, stories, and analysis from the New York Post, the celebratory account takes readers from the season opener on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and the Giants’ overtime win in San Francisco that clinched the NFC title to Mario Manningham’s fourth-quarter catch to set up the game-winning score in the Super Bowl. In-depth profiles of Giants stars, including quarterback Eli Manning, defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, and receiver Victor Cruz, make this keepsake book an essential part of any fan’s collection.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this beloved franchise, Triumph Books and the New York Post are jointly publishing The Amazins, a history of the Mets that includes all the highlights, the lowlights, the Hall of Famers, the underachievers, the great games and the memorable moments, virtually everything, in fact, from the rich history that makes their fans as passionate about their team as any in baseball.
A celebration of Eli Manning’s career with the New York Giants and his Super Bowl MVP season, this chronicle, which features includes pages of full-color photographs, is the ideal companion for any Giants fan.
From the aggressive defensive pressure on record-setting quarterback Tom Brady to David Tyree's miracle catch to Plaxico Burress' game-winning touchdown to Eli Manning raising the Super Bowl MVP trophy, the Giants are Super Bowl champions, and the New York Post celebrates the big game and the remarkable 2007 season with the brand new book Road Warriors: The New York Giants Incredible 2007 Championship Season. Follow the G-Men’s incredible road to the hoisting the Lombardi Trophy as they won 11 consecutive games away from Giants Stadium, including all four postseason games. After an 0-2 start, it seemed improbable that the New York Giants would even make the playoffs, better yet win the Super Bowl against the first 18-0 team in the history of the NFL. But on February 3, 2008, the G-Men shocked the world and emerged victorious in Super Bowl XLII against the undefeated New England Patriots. Full-color images accompany the New York Post articles that covered the Giants memorable season.
