i surely, surely HOPE Judge and some other Yankees finding their lucky shoes or bats or whatever they need to get them going at the plate beginning monday!!

that said, the Yankees had SEVENTEEN men on base last night. they did an excellent job of staying in the strikezone (inconsistent and erratic as it may have been!!). Yankee hitters worked counts in nearly every spot in the order!!

i know we were like 2 for 14 with RISP or something near that. but the Dodgers lost today and they were 0 for 5 with RISP. i KNOW we want those big hits and i sure hope they arrive!! but 17 guys on base puts a lot of pressure on t…

The biggest problem Austin Wells had in September was swinging out pitches out of the strike zone, but thankfully, he corrected that in the post season and he drew a critical "RBI walk" as a result.

In the spirit of Yankees vs Royals in the post season together again, I am hoping the Yankees choose Chris Chambliss to throw out the first pitch for tomorrow's game.

Coming back to the restaurant table at my son's 16th birthday dinner, sneaking a look at my phone, and seeing the Yankees had won. A great night all around. (I taped the game and watched it after SNL.)

Thanks. It's amazing to watch him grow into the young man he is and will be. Clare and I are very lucky people.

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

"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."
