Baldwin vs. Krasinski
New Era did a great job on this commercial.
RIP George Steinbrenner
Who would have thought I’d write two consecutive posts about Yankee related personalities passing away? I surely didn’t. Yesterday I wrote about world class public address announcer Bob Sheppard’s death. Today it’s owner George Steinbrenner. Steinbrenner succumbed to a massive heart attack this morning. After suffering the heart attack he was rushed to the hospital [...]
RIP Bob Sheppard
By now everyone who reads this already knows that Bob Sheppard, long time public address announcer at Yankee Stadium passed away yesterday. Though this is not Mets news it’s not strictly Yankees news either. It’s baseball news. To most of us who grew up in the New York area hearing Sheppard’s voice for the first [...]
Neyer on ARod
Though this blog post by Rob Neyer (from his Sweet Spot blog) is about the Yankees I always find something wonderful in Neyer’s work. In this case it’s mainly in the title of the post (“Sometimes six home runs are just a cigar”).
About Yankees Fans
I got into a mild argument the other day with a relative who is a football Giants fan. The argument was centered a round a comment he made when I mentioned how upset I was on Sunday night when the Jets-Bills game went on so long that my DVR stopped recording before the game was [...]
Joba’s Mom
Dosn’t Joba Chamberlain look just like his mom? Happy mother’s day, Jacqueline Standley (Joba’s mom).
ARoid Press Conference = Non Story
Today is a big day at Yankee camp. Alex Rodriguez will arrive at spring training and hold a press conference regarding last week’s report about steroids use. This is a good move on the Yankees part as it is an attempt to get all the talk of this subject out of the way as soon [...]
Long Live George Steinbrenner!
Though control of the Yankees has been turned over to his son the legacy of George Steinbrenner lives on. Yesterday the team signed first baseman Mark Teixeira to an 8 year, $180 million contract. This comes on the heals of signing CC Sabathia for 7 years at $161 million and A.J. Burnett for 5 years [...]
ARod MVP
Alex Rodriguez has won his third MVP award. The former and future Yankee third baseman led the American league with 54 home runs, established career highs with 143 runs scored and 156 RBIs and batted for a .314 average. Details on how the voting went can be found on the 2007 MLB Awards page.
Arod and the Yankees Talk 10 years, $280 Million Discounted
The Alex Rodriguez plot thickens. It’s been rumored in several outlets that ARod and the Yankees are talking about a 10 year, $280 million deal. One of the sticking points is the $21 million the Yankees are responsible for from ARod’s last contract. The Texas Rangers would have paid that money if ARod had not [...]
