I’m a new member from the yes forum. Diehard yankee fan, grew up in Connecticut, went to many yankee games as a kid. My hubby was a dodger fan when we met, but alas, he’s now a diehard yankee fan  . I live out west now, but have been to Oakland many times to see our team. Go Yankees!! Wow, that's a major conversion. I don't think I've ever heard of a Dodger fan entering the Yankee faith. I went to a lot of A's games in the early 1970s, when Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum was new and the plumbing worked and the A's were great. A different world. Love will make a man do amazing things. Like when I hang upside down from the ceiling fan while it’s running on “high”. I can’t explain it, but I do it… |

What a nice influx of new Yankee posters we're getting. We're getting the whole Tony Womack fanclub. 
Let them know promotions are earned by comment volume. Or they can send $20 in gift cards to my home address per each level of promotion desired… 🤓 |

Your very welcome, Max! Thank you for signing up!
I'm proud to have known some of these guys on the board for close to 20 years now! And I'm excited for all the new members to join us as well!
I noticed our old pal -- and one of my favorite posters -- Grandforks posting on the Pinstripe Alley site. He mainly sticks to the history-related threads. I'm not signing up over there to nudge him, though. There are some smart people on that site, but it gets really nasty and condescending. You run a much more pleasant operation over here, Kaybli. Nasty and condescending both left this site because they hated me. And, Inger, I only bite when bitten first! But, I am mellowing as I age. I’d love it if Grand Forks joined us. Great poster! |

So true. You’ve been most tolerant of me. We’ve barely snapped at each other through the years. Of course I wear a muzzle, so there’s nothing I can do. Though I did rip that off for one TMarino… 😂 |

Regarding the Oakland coliseum, there always seem to be more yankee fans than Oakland fans. I didn’t twist my husband’s arm to be a yankee fan, but I always had the games on and gradually came around. He wears his yankee hat everywhere. 😄 Most people here in reno root for the sf giants. My favorite yankee will always be The Mick!! what is fan of Womack??? Its a running gag on this site and the old site we were on for years that I hate Tony Womack. Those are your ranks you advance through levels set by number of posts. Once you hit a certain number of posts you advance to the next level such as Fan of Womack, AA, AAA, MLB Veteran, Jeterian God, and Ruthian Legend. |

Jeez, I was entirely unaware of these personal battles going on around here. I need to check the prescription on these rose-colored glasses. |

He was joking about "nasty" and "condescending" leaving the site. Not any animosity with Grand Forks. Just wasn't sure if that was clear.  |

Even getting Soto hasn’t generated a lot of chatter. I mean, it’s like, we got him, what now? It’s been an odd winter. First Soto jammed the market. Now Yamamoto has it jammed. Time will be running short after he signs, so I’d expect the next tier of pitchers like Snell to be plucked quickly and Bellinger soon as well…after those guys are gone, the dam should break in the signings… |

Juan Soto, a bunch of new posters, and now we found grandforks! Not a bad winter so far. Now we just need Yamamoto Merry Christmas to you as well Grandforks. I miss your always-thoughtful baseball history writing, which would be worth paying for. And if anybody ever wants to talk Cal McVey or Orator O'Rourke or Death To Flying Things, you are the pre-eminent authority. Great to see you on here, if only derivatively. |

Death To All Flying Things was also the nickname of one of Sarah’s and my cats: Charlie Boy. He was a black and white tuxedo cat with a Charlie Chaplin mustache. Sarah got him as a kitten from one of the wives of a player from the Visalia Oaks. We were at a ball game when Sarah left her seat to go to the concession stand to get an ICEE. Only Sarah would come back with a kitten. Like Elly Mae Clampett! |
