George in Charge
When he left, Gabe Paul was replaced by two individuals, Cedric Tallis and Al Rosen. When asked whether Tallis or Rosen would be in charge, Paul, not one to pull punches, answered that George would be in charge.

Better Start Buckling Down
The Yankees have had difficulty winning games this spring, even if they are only exhibition games, but today was different, at least for George Steinbrenner. One day before the game against the Mets, the Yankees’ owner said that “We’re at the point where Billy better start buckling down on them or we won’t repeat.”

Justice Harry Blackmun wrote that “The long standing exemption of baseball from the antitrust laws is an established aberration.” The Court concluded that since an error was made, it had to be perpetuated. What arrogant rubbish.

Koufax? Not Quite
Holtzman was thirty years old when he joined the Yankees, but Steinbrenner has little patience with what he construes as failure and when Holtzman didn’t adjust to his new surroundings immediately, he was sent to the bullpen. Holtzman blasted the Yankees and was never an effective pitcher again.

Lyle Speaks
George Steinbrenner, who was at the game, was instrumental in the Yankees obtaining Gossage and Eastwick. The fact that the Lyle won the American League Cy Young Award last season and was a major reason that the Yankees became World Champions did not deter the Yankees’ owner from adding two top relief pitchers.

Not So Bad?
The third baseman is a shortstop, the leftfielder is a second baseman, the centerfielder is a left fielder, the first baseman is cheered because he lost some weight and alleges he will now be a good boy, and the starting pitchers are old and ineffective. The setup man throws up before playoff games, and there is no bench.

A Miracle?
If their four victories against the Yankees occurred in any other sequence in the best of seven series, the miracle would have been that the Red Sox won the World Series, not that they won a playoff series, but because they won the final four games against the Yankees after losing the first three, it became a miracle.

A luxury box for one game of the first playoff round (euphemistically referred to as the Division Series) has a price tag of $17,500, for the second playoff round (the League Championship Series) a cost of $25,000, and for the World Series a cost of $50,000 for a grand total of $92,500. Do you think that if you go to a playoff game, you’ll see your junior high school teacher in one of the luxury boxes?
