Answer
Kimberly,

I wish I could help you with this question, but without being able to examine the object myself, it's hard even to speculate. I does indeed sound like you have a "yearbook." But I would have all kinds of questions: what are the contents? How many pages is it? Are there a lot of photographs? Does it appear to be published before or after or during the season?

Here's a suggestion for you: contact the Giants, the team, and tell them what you're trying to find out. There's an excellent chance they will have somebody who knows the answer or can suggest someone who knows the answer.

Good luck. Sorry I cannot be of more help.
