Joe DiMaggio Farewell<\/strong><\/a>
Since we baseball fans like to live by the numbers, how about this one \u2013 Joe DiMaggio attended 47 of the 48 Old Timers Days held by the Yankees after his retirement, missing only in 1987 when he was having a pacemaker installed.\u00a0more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Book to Grab When the Waters Rise<\/strong><\/a>
We in the northeast had terrible flooding in April, even 8 inches in one day in Central Park, but for someone like me, living on the 8th floor of a Manhattan high rise, I really don\u2019t worry until the water reaches 79 feet. Still, I was thinking about \u201cwhat if,\u201d and after photo albums, what books would I grab and save?\u00a0more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yankee-Shea Farewell<\/strong><\/a>
Doesn\u2019t it seem like to earth should shake a little when the last out is recorded in Yankee Stadium next fall? Or when the (I can hardly say it) wrecking ball hits?\u00a0more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding New Records Often Takes Creativity<\/strong><\/a>
These are some thoughts about milestones, and how we in sports love them so much, even if at times, they are a bit of a stretch.\u00a0more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Game\u00a0I’ll\u00a0Never\u00a0Forget<\/a><\/strong><\/b>
<\/a><\/strong>By Bobby Richardson as told to Marty Appel
Not many players can name their biggest hit and their biggest catch, and have the good fortune for both to have been in a World Series with millions looking on. \u00a0more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Villante: From Yankee Batboy to MLB Marketing Czar<\/a><\/strong>
Bill Kane, the 28-year old statistician of the Yankees, enjoyed hunting for stories behind the numbers, even before pocket calculators came along to make the lives of statisticians easier. This was 1968, and Mickey Mantle had begun the season at .302. \u00a0He had had three straight years under .300, and a fourth was clearly looming, his once great skills fading. \u00a0more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mantle Last Season<\/a><\/strong>

Mantle\/50<\/a>th<\/a><\/sup><\/strong> <\/a>
The former baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn was dictating his memoir in the mid 1980s, recounting the game\u2019s growth during his tenure, when he suddenly paused and said, \u201cYou know, we did all of this without ever finding another Mickey Mantle.\u201d \u00a0more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yogi\u00a0Berra<\/a><\/strong><\/b><\/span>
<\/a><\/strong> When Tom Brokaw created the term \u201cThe Greatest Generation,\u201d he may not have realized that in one Lawrence Peter \u201cYogi\u201d Berra, he had a single figure who represented the whole experience, wrapped up in a chest protector, shin guards and catcher\u2019s mask.\u00a0more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s A Whole New Ballgame!<\/strong><\/a>
I began thinking about this story recently while watching an old World Series movie. It was the 1947 Series, Yankees against the Dodgers, and so many things seemed different. I mean, there were still three strikes and you’re out, ninety feet between the bases and nine innings to a game. But so much else about the general appearance of things seemed dated. And I began to realize how changes can creep into the sport without our particularly noticing them.\u00a0more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baseball Assistance Team Journal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

METS B.A.T. Program<\/strong><\/a>
When baseball shuffled its half-century order of 16 teams in the early 1960s, no one was quite sure what to expect. Would \u201cexpansion teams\u201d be accepted? Were they doomed to failure? Would old National League fans embrace a new franchise in New York?\u00a0more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
