Cleveland, Not Boston: Part 2
The Red Sox were once again “invincible.” The great baseball journalist, Arthur Daley, wrote a column in March, 1951 that has applied as long as the Red Sox have existed. Daley could have written it in March, 2004 and it would be just as valid.

Waldman to be the Fifth Starter?
In a stunning move that shocked the sports world, New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner announced that former YES sportsperson Suzyn Waldman had been signed as a free agent pitcher to replace the departed Jon Leiber.

No Pitching?
The New York Yankees won their first pennant in 1921 and last won the World Series in 2000. While the Yankees have had many outstanding pitchers, almost all of the greatest of the great pitched elsewhere. Despite that fact, the Yankees may be the team whose pitching has been the best and most consistent of the modern era.
