I had a number of Brushes with Yankees when I published Sports Card Trader, but here are a couple of unusual ones. I had a press pass to the 1992 Yankee fan fest at the Javits center. Got to say a word or two to alot of yankees past and present, but there [...]

I did see the Ken Williams interview and saw Frank Thomas’ interview as well. I think Williams should have taken the high-road, he sounded like an unprofessional fool.
I think Thomas enjoyed the fact that Williams responded as he did. Thomas took the high road with his response.

Yesterday, Koby Clemens took his father deep on the first pitch he saw from him in a simulated game that Roger pitched at Astros camp.

The Tino chat isn’t an interview you’d listen to, it’s a way for ESPN.com visitors to submit their questions to someone hosting the chat (Rob Neyer, Jason Stark, Peter Gammons, Steve Phillips, Buster Olney, and now…Tino Martinez) and get real-time responses…just like a chat room.
Mike G, here is a link to the Tino chat. [...]
