A New York Yankees' legend is also the face on one of the most rare trading cards in sports history, and a mint copy of it sold for a record price at auction.
New York Yankees general manager has been criticized, by some, for depleting the team's pitching depth at the trade deadline.

While the Bombers general manager takes the heat, a Pinstripes right-handed pitching prospect set a franchise record on Thursday.
The New York Yankees came closer to making another massive trade at the 2022 MLB Trade Deadline, but pulled the plug at the last minute. Now, we wonder why.
Fordham University is 5.2 miles from Yankee Stadium. The two entities are a pair of the most recognizable residents of the Bronx, if not New York City in general. No disrespect to the Rams baseball program but the Yankees have hardly used their borough neighbor as a feeder system. In fact, it's been well over six decades since a Fordham player has moved on to the Pinstripes. In Oakland this week, a right-handed pitcher from Long Island may be the next Fordham Ram to be a Bronx Bomber.
Aaron Judge is about to steal all of the headlines down the stretch of the MLB regular season. Judge has 48 home runs and is on pace to hit a record 63.

In the last week of August, as Major League Baseball teams prepare for the stretch run to the playoffs, managers begin to set their pitching rotations, bullpen roles and line-ups to get ready for the most crucial part of the season. Not that those responsibilities can't change in September but as a big league manager once said about the final month, "either you have the horses or you don't. There are no new ones in the barn."
A video from last night's Yankees' game has gone viral, showing an inventive fan making a straw out of something few fans would ever dream of trying to use.
As Giancarlo Stanton readies himself for a return to the Yankees, the expectations have never been higher on New York's power-hitting designated hitter.
It's rare to see an athlete play for two teams in the same city, but when it comes to the New York Yankees and Mets, these ten players suited up for them both.
