Coping With The Disaster

  This post has no comments yet.

John Berman at ABC News offered up a great “out of office” notice for New England fans reeling from last night’s culmination of the Red Sox epic September collapse: What is a Red Sox fan to do today? I hope to provide some practical assistance. Accordingly, below you will see my e-mail “out of office” [...]

Happy Birthday Yogi! (A Day Late)

  This post has no comments yet.

I’m not one to extol complements on NY Yankee players, but yesterday was Yogi Berra’s 86th birthday. Yogi was one of the great catchers and players of his era, but is just as widely known for his epicly logical-yet funny-quotes. So in honor of his b-day, here are a few my favorite “Yogi-ism’s”: “Ninety percent of [...]

Bing Crosby and The Kid

  This post has 2 comments.

Over the weekend, there were two great vintage baseball stories in the NY Times. The first was a profile of John Updike’s seminal baseball essay The Hub Bids Kid Adieu. The essay documented the famous last game that Ted Williams played for the Red Sox, when he hit a home run in his final at [...]

A Tale of Four Pitchers

  This post has no comments yet.

This weekend, the Red Sox were down in the Bronx taking on the Yankees in a typical late August four game series. The teams split the series, with each team winning two games. But here is the interesting thing. The two winning pitchers for the Red Sox were Clay Buchholtz and John Lester, who combined [...]

Now Batting, Batting, Batting

A tip of my Red Sox cap to the Yankees as the legendary announcer of the team Bob Sheppard passed on today at the age of 99.  I have never been a fan of going to Yankee Stadium (for obvious reasons) however Sheppard’s voice was always “familiar”.  He had that distinctive deep voice that announced Yankee [...]

Some new footage was of Babe Ruth was recently discovered in a home movie collection from a family in New Hampshire. The latest Babe Ruth film, unseen publicly until now, is part of a 90-second clip shot from the first-base stands at Yankee Stadium. There is no sound. But there are sweeping views of the [...]

A-Roid Comes Clean

Alex Rodriguez completely comes clean and admints he took ‘roids from 2001-03 and that he’s not exactly sure what he was taking. At least he has the balls to stand up and admit he did it, even though he denied it on 60 Minutes about a year ago.

Enter Sandman

As I’m watching the last game at Yankee Stadium on ESPN (Disclosure: I’m a life long Red Sox fan), you can’t help but get a little tingle watching Mo Rivera leave the bullpen to Enter Sandman. Its just an awesome and, if I was a player, pretty intimidating spectacle. I’ve never been too fond of [...]

New NY Baseball Stadiums

  This post has no comments yet.

Now I am hardly a NY baseball fan, and the thought of both NY baseball teams getting new stadiums and lots more revenue opportunities does not sit well with me, but these are some amazing photos of the construction of the two new baseball stadiums here in the NY metro area. Citi Field – NY [...]

Sox vs. Yanks

Big weekend up on Yawkey Way in Boston with the Red Sox and Yanks holding a 5 game series. Massacre Alert:: Oh man, what a fiasco. Three Four Five straight drubbings at the hands of the Yankees. This is definitely the Son of the Boston Massacre, although the Sox did not blow a 14 game [...]
