Produced in partnership with Major League Baseball, with extensive access to the league&#8217;s unparalleled archives, the series will feature players, managers, coaches, executives, writers, commentators, and fans in candid interviews and some never-before-seen footage.<\/p>\n<p>Episodes will chronicle every compelling chapter of Yankees history- their successes, controversies, rivalries, stars, feuds, and collective legacy. Whether you root for them or love to root against them, the Yankees are more decorated than any other team in sports, and no team has embodied as many unforgettable stories and sagas throughout their rich history.<\/p><div id=\"morty-97465890\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The series is directed by Emmy and Peabody winner Jonathan Hock (&#8220;<em>Survive and Advance<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>The Best That Never Was<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Of Miracles and Men<\/em>&#8220;) and is executive produced by ESPN Films in association with Major League Baseball.
