RIP Phil Rizzuto

by @ 4:56 pm. Filed under Yankees History

I was going to wait and write my next post when the Yankees passed the Red Sox, which should be sometime next week, but Yankee great Phil Rizzuto passed away today at the age of 89.  He was the 1950 AL MVP and he was one of those great players who lost three years because of World War II.

1977 Yankees Diary

by @ 6:41 pm. Filed under Yankees History

In case you missed it, the first of four historical Yankees diaries started earlier this week with the 1977 Yankees kicking off at Yankees History.  Basically you get a quick hit of what happened that day.  Coming in the next couple of weeks will be the 1927, 1937 and 1947 Yankees.

Introducing Yankees History

by @ 6:09 pm. Filed under Yankees History

I started a new website called Yankees History.  It’s pretty self explanatory, but I wrote up the plans for the site.  Hopefully you’ll stop by that one as I develop the content.

Rich “Goose” Gossage got Jobbed

by @ 11:59 am. Filed under Yankees History

First off, nothing against Sutter being in the Hall of Fame. He pioneered a pitch and he was the first true one inning closer. However, how he gets in over the best reliever ever, Goose Gossage, is beyond me.

Gossage had better seasons, more seasons where he was effective and he pitched more innings. A ton more innings. To sum that sentence up, Goose Gossage is better then Bruce Sutter.

And I’m not the only one. Check out these other opinions.

There’s probably a ton more but after you read through a few, they get repititve. Fortunately, Gossage made some gains so I like his chances in 2008.
