In 2009 the Yankees felt the weight of going almost a decade since their last World Series Championship. After missing the playoffs the year before, the Yankees branded their annual goal very specifically. “Mission 27” they called it, the drive for the franchise’s 27th World Series championship.
That is also the title of the new book from veteran beat writers Mark Feinsand and Bryan Hoch, “Mission 27: A New Boss, A New Ballpark, and One Last Ring for the Yankees Core Four,” available now from Triumph Books.
This episode of 30 With Murti is a roundtable discussion with the authors about that championship season, and a dive into the book that brings new life and behind the scenes detail to the Yankees last championship run.
