Posted in Baseball, Baseball History, MLB, Nostalgia, Video, Yankees, tagged on January 6, 2012 | 9 Comments »

Don Mattingly only hit two walk off homer runs in his career. The first, which came against the Minnesota Twins on May 13, 1985, just so happens to be one of my favorite moments growing up as a Yankee fan in the 1980s (the other walk off came against the Brewers in 1989). To set the […]

The Yankees’ winning bid for Japanese short stop Hiroyuki Nakajima came out of the blue last month, which led me to believe the team had identified international professionals as the next “market inefficiency”. As it turns out, the team wasn’t really interested in Nakajima, at least not enough to persuade the Seibu Lions’ star to accept […]

Most Yankees’ fans have probably been looking forward to 2012 since Alex Rodriguez swung and missed at the last pitch of the 2011 ALDS, but with a New Year fast upon us, what better time to take one last look back at the 2011 season?

Two of the most influential members of the Yankees’ front office took to the airwaves this morning to promote the upcoming Pinstripe Bowl, and not surprisingly, each interview touched on the team’s offseason plans.

Considering Kuroda; Remembering Ed Whitson

Posted in Baseball, George M. Steinbrenner, MLB, Yankees, tagged , , , on December 27, 2011 | 2 Comments »

Regarding Hiroki Kuroda, and with apologies to Winston Churchill, never before have so many written so much about a pitcher whose accomplishments are so few.
