"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

I ate a few Twinkies today during the game, had them in the pantry since 2022. They were good.
That was an excellent choice of photo in the introduction page before clicking to this article. It shows Clarke Schmidt's true personality. When Schmidt is in the dugout, he is loud, boisterous, rowdy, and a true "rah rah" type, playfully teasing his teammates, and even having "sunflower seed spitting" contests. He shouts and screams (in a high-pitched voice!) when his teammates do great things (homers, key hits, great defensive plays, key strikeouts by Yankee pitchers, etc), and he even sings, belting out tunes on the bench! He takes that personality into the game where he is absolutely a fearless bulldog on the mound.
"Yanks Schmidt-can Twins!"
Just heard an amazing stat on the YES recap: Judge's 6 XBH and 2 BB is the first time a Yankee has done that in two straight games since Joe DiMaggio in 1937. Mantle didn't do it; Berra didn't do it; Murcer, Jackson, Winfield, Mattingly, Jeter -- none of them did it. When you're the first Yankee to do something great since DiMaggio 87 years ago, you are and you've done something special.
It seems no one wants to go to the pen when Cole returns. Schmidt looking like an All-Star. He's No. 8 in the AL in ERA.
Yankee pitching shut down the Washington Generals -- I mean, the Minnesota Twins -- in their own park. 0.33 ERA, 26 straight shutout innings, .144 BA (14-for-97)
