Big John
He is rarely mentioned anymore but he is one of the all-time greats. Most Yankees’ fans today have probably never even heard of him but those few who have still appreciate what he did and when he did it. He had a Hall of Fame career with the St. Louis Cardinals, hit 51 home runs for the 1947 New York Giants, and his lifetime batting average was .312. Then he joined the Yankees.

Four More Years
Bob Feller missed almost four seasons, returning to active duty with the Indians at the end of the 1945 season, starting only 9 games, but in 1946, the 27 year old Feller picked up where the 23 year old Feller had left off.

Gary, Joe, and Gil
It was bound to happen, and after it happened, no one reported it. Gary Sheffield dropped a fly ball in the third inning of yesterday’s game when the ball hit the middle of his glove, which was next to his left hip, and popped out. Fortunately for the self declared Yankees’ team leader, the Texas Rangers had a runner on first, enabling the quick witted, never give in, “I don’t strike out when I don’t want to” Sheffield to fire the fallen baseball to Robinson Cano, who in turn fired to Derek Jeter to force Kevin Mensch at second.

He Was a Better Player Than We Bleeps Thought He Was

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.
