Those are some big-ass numbers. I’m pretty much sold... I admit that I wasn’t as impressed with DiMag as a young boy. That had to do with just looking at the career numbers and not wanting to believe he could be better than Mantle. At ten years of age, I wasn’t aware of what it meant that he lost prime years to WW2. I wasn’t thinking about how he retired younger than most would have. I also wasn’t aware of how he had grabbed THE single prize of femininity in his generation... Mantle might have had a blond on each arm every night, but he didn’t have THAT blond... I grew up hearing about Mantle from one of my older brothers, but the old guys talked about DiMaggio, who they said had no weaknesses, other than being right-handed in a stadium with a 462-foot left centerfield fence. That was the real “ Death Valley.” My older brothers didn’t give a crap about baseball. They were pink hat Oriole fans that couldn’t name any of the players that weren’t front line stars. I think that odd in that my dad loved the game, but since he an mom fought constantly, he played baseball a lot and didn’t pay that much attention to my siblings. Since I never met my dad until I was 20 years old, I had to learn about baseball “on the streets”. Girls, too...They were quite a mystery to me for a while... Anyway...not many Yankee fans around MD. I read more than I talked Baseball...and to girls for a while... |

Wonder how long they’ll leave the King in? Will he have to abdicate to get taken out of this one?...

I feel a bit simple saying this, but it seems Voit is playing a good bit better in the field this season...

Urshela with the leather again! For the young lads out there, that was a Clete Boyer play. And that's high praise. You have to love what Gio has delivered in his brief stint. |
