Mickey versus Willie---Again
Mickey Mantle was the most talented player of his or almost any era. The compararions between Mantle and Mays continue, but too many fans who never saw them play uncritically accept the view that Mays was the better player. Upon closer examination, that may not be so.

The 1967 Yankees: An Underrated Team?
Comparing teams from different seasons is subjective because the statistics are based upon a comparison between and among teams in a specific league in a specific year. One can compare the 1967 Yankees to any 1967 American League team and reach objective conclusions but one cannot objectively compare the 1967 Yankees to the 1965 Red Sox because they played in different leagues against different opponents.

Yes, Virginia, the Yankees Once Were A Bad Team
It seems like ancient history but it wasn’t that long ago. The Yankees really did have some awful seasons for long stretches at a time. From 1965 until 1976 the Yankees won nothing and for many of those years they were really bad. The hard times arrived suddenly but in retrospect they should have been anticipated.

Batting Average is Still the Best
One of the most basic, informative, and useful of all baseball statistics is a player’s batting average. For almost a century, batting average was the primary statistic used to measure a hitter’s ability but for some “experts,” that is no longer true. Batting average is sneered at by most “sabermetricians” because it is too simple and easy to comprehend.
