Andy Pettitte may not be the most dominate pitcher, he was never the ace of any rotation, but he won a lot of games. Sports are measured and defined by winning and Andy Pettitte did plenty of that in his career. Pettitte was part of 8 different World Series (7 with the Yankees 1 with the Astros) he won 5, all with the Yankees. He is part of core four along with Jeter, Rivera and Posada and a major part of the Yankee dynasty years.

Game 2 Division Series
Don Mattingly follows Ruben Sierra’s home run with one of his own in the bottom of the 6th inning to give the Yankees their first lead of the night.

I’m going to try and project what the Starting lineup is going to produce this year. Its very difficult to predict what will happen because injuries do occur, but its still worth a shot to try and predict the production.

Joe DiMaggio was one of sport’s superstars and his life had some odd twists in the end.

The son of Italian immigrants Joseph Paul DiMaggio was expected to follow his father in occupational choice: fisherman. This was the height of the California sardine trade and there was more than enough work for everyone. Unfortunately the smell of fish made Joe sick. He started
Hiya folks….Marneen here. Once again we have an opportunity to help an actual family in need.
Baseball is a game deeply plagued with superstition. Being quite an old sport, a number of myths and legends have emerged regarding this game. For the Americans, baseball is a symbol of national pride and is often referred to as America’s favorite pastime. Although the game has gone through a modern shift, there are some old beliefs and legends that are still associated with baseball. Superstitions are often defined as baseless fears and blindly accepted notions, making one beg the question: what purpose do these beliefs fulfill? The debate is a long and elaborate one, making a discussion of the various superstitious beliefs necessary.
Baseball is a game of national pride, a game beautified by many prestigious teams. The New York Yankees have garnered the love and respect of their fans unlike any other team. The Yankees moved to New York City in 1903, and were initially known as the New York Highlanders. It wasn’t until 1913, when they finally changed their official name to, what they are now known as, the New York Yankees.
The best baseball manager in the country resides in a small town in middle Tennessee. His name is Wink Chatterfield. A smallish man, with a height that would only make a child jealous and a weight bordering on a sack of flour, Chatterfield is an icon in his field. He has all the smarts to be great but his key to
‘Upside’ is a dangerous term. It’s not as outwardly dangerous as say, ‘projectile vomit’ or ‘written by Jason Whitlock’ but to basketball general managers, nothing is scarier than upside. It makes people lose their jobs.
A cool, almost imperceptible breeze saunters through the gallery. Foreshadowing Henrique Cordova’s demise perhaps? The fans, friends and relatives in the crowd surely hope not. Cordova has been known to fall victim to late-game jitters before though. Just last year, at this very same Minneapolis Open, Cordova’s
