On St. Patrick's Day, we look back at some of the best "Patrick's" in the history of New York sports, many of whom fans considered saints during their careers.
As New York Mets manager Buck Showalter wanders the team's spring training complex in Port St. Lucie, Florida, who will be that Opening Day designated hitter for his team, must be rolling through his mind. Yes, the obvious righty or lefty pitcher that you're facing plays into into it. However, sometimes, managers are stuck between veterans with albatross-like contracts and young talent, that if given a chance, may blossom into an All Star.
Every New York sports fan knows that Kyrie Irving can't play at home because he's not vaccinated. Well, that same rule is about to impact star baseball players, too.

Free agency, as well as the trade market, should be on fire for the next several weeks. Let's see who may or may not land in New York.
Major League Baseball has officially cancelled the first two series' of the 2022 season, and New York's baseball players are sounding off on the decisions of the league.
