I got from my Pal (Grandfather), a 5 year paid SI subscription as a bar mitzvah present (they also paid for another 5 years for graduating HS). So, one has to pay to read it? My subscription finally stopped at some point in about 2018, because of their incompetence (I proved I paid them, but they still refused to acknowledge it). Heck, I got a special 6 year rate in 2012, for being a 30 year subscriber!

After your pat on the back, let me ask you a question: The Yankees just announced their 2024 minor league coaching assignments.

Even going back to the latter Girardi years, Cashman decided to put hi coaches on the staff. The Boone staffs have essentially outside of Nevin & Casey, have all been Cashman choices/decisions. But then again, Boone knew this going in, so shame on him.

I have never made a secret from my comments on SSTN, then I don't like pretty much everything with the pitching philosophy, to the different 'gurus' they have employed. After watching the last 2 years a lot of the affiliates games , I don't like their PC at the AAA level. I'm not questioning their knowledge of analytics, or pitch shape, I'm questioning their ability to be coaches during the game! Something is obviously wrong wi…

I despise WAR. I H-A-T-E OPS. I think a lot of these new metrics are garbage because too many times they are misleading.

Over the last few years with all these new versions of veteran's committees, guys have gotten into the Hall, who in my opinion, don't deserve it. But because they are, now other players who, again, in my judgement also don't belong in are now getting cases made for them because they were close to the players who just got in.

The Mitchell Report, IMHO was total garbage. It was like these people sat in NY, but no Red Sox was mentioned in the Report? Wasn't George Mitchel on the Red Sox Board?

Mark McGwire, like it or…

"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."
