Long-time PA announcer Sheppard retires.

Thanks to Reader Mike F. for sending this along (see the links at right to check out Mike’s “The Baseline” blog). Mike states that he was there for Sheppard’s final game. Hopefully he can send the date. I’d like to compare the teams and lineups from 1951 to the finale. The news…Bob Sheppard, who was the PA announcer from 4/17/51 until 2008 [read more...]

Thanksgiving Thoughts and a look ahead.

The one and only “Yankee Truth”, Josh, sent me a gift this week. It’s a Yankee Trivia Teaser book first printed in 2007.

AL MVP announced today…It’s Mauer, with Teix 2nd, Jeter 3rd.

Expect it to be Joe Mauer. Mauer set a new record for catchers this year by hitting .365 while winning his third batting title. Update: Mauer did win the MVP today, and it was almost unanimous. Only one writer (from Seattle) didn’t put Mauer first on his ballot. That writer had Miguel Cabrera first. Nice point by Sam Borden at LoHud [read more...]
