So Joe Torre wrote a book about his Yankee years.  Little tid bits are leaking out…Arod called A-Fraud by teammates, throwing Cashman under the bus.  It almost doesn’t matter what is in the book.  What, in God’s name, possessed him to write this book ?  It couldn’t be the money.  He makes 5 times more [...]

Disappointed.  Yes, I am that Joe would write a book at this time when he is still managing.  I understand that what Joe said has been interpreted by the various writers of the articles.  But what goes on in the clubhouse should stay there.  Remember Jim Bouton’s book “Ball Four,” which landed Jim on the [...]

Which Yankees first baseman hit the first-ever World Series walk-off home run?
Hint: It was a solo shot to break a scoreless tie in Game 1 of the 1949 Fall Classic.
Reminder: answer in the comments.

From “Now operating under budget” to “All Quiet On the Western Front.”  Man… is it quiet.

Who was the first Yankees shortstop to play in a MLB All-Star Game?

I was busy today, but it was the day when the results were released by the BWAA.  No surprise that Henderson was voted in but I was mildly surprised when Rice finally made it. 
But if Jim Rice gets in, do the writers then have to put in Albert Belle?  Very similar stats and Rice played longer to [...]
