One Mo Legend to Wear #42
It seems fitting that the last player in Major League Baseball history to wear #42 is Mariano Rivera, the greatest closer of all-time and one of the top Yankees of all-time. The rest of baseball has retired #42 in honor of Jackie Robinson. Robinson not only fought racism and all sorts of barriers while integrating baseball in 1947, he represented class and dignity and professionalism.

Yankees-Diamondbacks Series Preview
Interleague play has turned into an unbalanced schedule of interleague play and it has never before been this early. Early as in Opening Day for the Angels and Reds. Early as in NOW for the New York Yankees. The Diamondbacks invade the Bronx in a re-match of the 2001 World Series...
Yankees Take Two of Three From Baltimore
As I predicted (once in a while a blind squirrel finds a nut), the Yankees took two of three from rival Baltimore in a big series considering that Andy Pettitte's start was pushed back due to back spasms. Here is how New York did it.
Adam Scott Wins The Masters, Finally Gets Over Hump
This Masters was about Adam Scott in the end. Not about Tiger Woods. Not about Tiger's two-stroke penalty. Not about a 14-year old from China. Not about Amen Corner. It was all about a guy who never had the guts or the putts to win. It was about the first Australian to ever win a green jacket.
What’s the Number One Yankees Storyline So Far This Season? [POLL]
The Yankees' season is a couple weeks deep. Plenty of story lines have taken center stage for the pinstripes. Andy Pettitte is my #1 story line. What is yours? Vote here:
Tiger vs Jack, It Matters
Tiger Woods hung posters of a legendary golfer on his wall above his bed as a young boy. That legendary golfer is Jack Nicklaus, major-record holder with 18. Tiger Woods wants 19. He wanted it then, and he still wants it now.
Orioles-Yankees Series Preview
After being washed out twice in Cleveland after winning two in dominating fashion over the Indians, the Yanks return home for three games against red-hot Baltimore who took two of three from the Red Sox in Boston. Here is a preview of the weekend series in the Bronx.
Keep Your Golf Game Up While Waiting to Play
The Masters is going on. We golfers love The Masters. But we golfers watch The Masters, we don't play in it. And right now, golfers are not playing much at all no matter what in The Capital Region because of the wet, windy and cool weather. But you can still stay in the golf frame of mind and do these simple things when the game returns:
Now Or Nova
Unless Phil Hughes turns it around fairly soon and fully develops into what Yankee fans thought he would be (this writer thinks the time has come and gone for him to do so), someone must take that spot.
Baseball’s Giants, Not Yankees, Show Winning Model.
Pitching ace-starting pitching-timely hitting-bullpen. That is how you win a ton of regular season games and make a run in the postseason, ultimately winning championships, which is what every team wants.
Knicks Must Win In the Playoffs to Gain Respect
When was the last time the New York Knicks won an NBA championship? 1973. Winning = respect. Ask the Yankees and Giants (sort of) in the same city.
Mets’ Best Farm Pitching Trumps Yankees’ Version
Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain and Ian Kennedy never panned out. Now, the best in the Yankee farm system is Manny Banuelos, who is out for the minor league year with Tommy John surgery and who knows if Dellin Betances will ever emerge like the Yanks said he would two years ago. The Mets on the other hand...
