Eventually, Heyman settled at working with “Newsday”, which is a daily newspaper serving the New York metropolitan Area, and considered one of the highest in the US in terms of weekday circulation. For the next 16 years, he would serve as the beat writer for the New York Yankees, one of the two major league clubs in New York City, and considered one of the most successful sports clubs in the world, having won 18 division titles and 27 World Series championships. Several of their players and managers have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, including Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio and Lou Gehrig.
