Yankee Stadium

There were many dazzling plays in Major League Baseball during the first half of the season as we sit here at the All-Star break.  But I have narrowed it down to a Top 3 highlight list and here it is.

Earlier today, Derek Jeter made his return to the Bronx.  Did you miss the first at-bat where the captain singled?  No worries.  Watch it here:   By:  Mike Lindsley, "Mid-Day with Mike," M-F 1-4, Yankees pre/post game host on 104.5 Th...

The Yankees will activate Derek Jeter today for their afternoon game against the Royals.  This according to a late Wednesday night FoxSports.com report.

Yankee bats scored three runs in 29 2/3 innings heading into Wednesday night.  That changed against the Royals in game three of a four-game set in the Bronx.

After taking two of three from Baltimore, the Yankees' 10-game home stand continues with a four-game set against Kansas City.  Here is a series preview:

The Birds and Yanks will play three at Yankee Stadium after playing the same amount last weekend at Camden Yards, a series Baltimore swept.  What will happen in this one?  Here is a series preview.

It was a rubber-match game and anything can happen in rubber-match games.  Hell, anything can happen in baseball, right John Sterling?  Including a very good pitching performance.  Or, a very good pitching performance and an excellent one.

The Yanks and Rays split four games Thursday-Sunday in the Bronx.  Here are five things that defined the series:

Picking greatest Yankees in any category is like splitting hairs or flipping a coin or picking the most ripe apple in the bunch during the months of September and October in the Northeast.  How about the most beloved Yankee of all-time?  Just as tough as the next question when regarding the pinstripes, but I have narrowed it (I think) down to a Top 5.  Enjoy.

The Dodgers enter Yankee Stadium for a two-game set with the Yanks.  The storylines with this mini-series are endless.  The 1950's World Series battles when both clubs were in New York, Don Mattingly returning to the Bronx and a kid named Yasiel Puig.  Here is a series preview:

"The beers at Yankee Stadium are so out of control."  "Who can afford that?"  That is often one of my favorite questions.  And it is truly a laughable one.

No one will ever forget the postseason wins, the bulldog mentality, the cap set down just above the eyebrows as the cutter dives in on righties and away from lefties.  No one will forget saving the bacon in the Bronx time after time after time, nor will they forget outdueling John Smoltz in the 1996 World Series.
