Last night it was the 17th time this season that Jeter had hit into a DP. That's one shy of his GIDP total for all of 2009 in 138 fewer at-bats. Jeter is on pace to hit into 23 double plays this season, one shy of the career-high he set in 2008. Jeter's 17 ground-ball double plays rank fourth in...

Well this doesn't come off as a surprise. George Steinbrenner will be getting a monument in Monument Park. I don't agree with this, IMHO. Monuments should be left to the players. Steinbrenner should get a giant plaque much like Ruppert's. ...

LINK Found this great read from the Daily News on the Cano vs Pedroia battle. Here's a snip.....

What is the rational for getting Lance Berkman? They already have a switch hitting first baseman that is far superior to him As far as a DH he was hitting .248 for Houston and less than .200 right handed. Of course I hope he helps them, but where does he add help where they didn't have it already?

Reports from the last two days indicate that athletes that have suffered head injuries may suffer from ALS later in life. One report stated that Lou Gehrig suffered six concussions during his career, which may have led to ALS. Another report today stated that Gehrig may noy have died from ALS, but...

According to The Smoking Gun, "U.S. Army records obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request paint an unflattering portrait of DiMaggio as a deeply selfish soldier desperate for a wartime discharge." Details and documents here.

The Scranton-Wilkes/Barre Yankees may be on the move in the near future. From Bizofbaseball.com •Are the Yankees readying to relocate their Triple A franchise from Scranton-Wilkes Barre? Are the Yankees and Mandalay Baseball readying to buy the SWB franchise? Seems the local stadium authority...

For my first post in this forum...decided to bring some heat! Enjoy! Before.... ...

I feel like Mariano's season has kind of flown under the radar because we've been expecting nothing less than brilliance from him for so long. But just take a minute to consider that he is 40 years, 8 months old and is currently putting together arguably his greatest season EVER. 0.98 ERA and...

This will be individual New York Yankee(Highlanders) players photos. No team photos here and has to be wearing a New York Yankee uniform and be able to see the players face.

With this being the 31st Anniversary of the day God took away our Captian, I was wondering if any of the "older" season ticket holders from RYS remember the in-between inning tribute they used to play. I was a kid in the 80's and we had the Sunday plan, and it seemed like every Sunday they would...

Chamberlain's role as the eighth-inning man and, quite possibly, his Yankees future are on the clock. The Yankees will not let Chamberlain's inconsistency prevent them from making the playoffs or winning a championship. The Yankees are already looking at what is out there in terms of bullpen...

The Guy is absolutely tearing up the AL w/ a 2.41 ERA, maybe he could be a good piece to add to the pen?

Source. Chamberlain, Nova, and McAllister would be heading to the desert, with Haren heading to the Bronx. Dan Haren is a fantastic pitcher - he gets a solid amount of strikeouts, limits his walks, and has three plus-pitches... all this from a 29-year old pitcher making $41 M over the next...
