Yesterday was indeed a weird day for the Yankees. First there was Alex Rodriguez ’s run-in with Oakland pitcher Dallas Braden after he stepped on the mound returning to first after a foul ball, then there was a triple play, and all of this happened in just barely over two hours. Yes, a Yankee game lasted only two hours and seven minutes. Oh, and to make things weirder, the Yankees lost ...

Earlier in the day I wrote about former Yankee pitchers Edwar Ramirez and Chad Gaudin getting their rings yesterday and I wrote that the Yankees really haven’t let everyone know when they’ll be getting their rings. I certainly wasn’t foreshadowing anything, but earlier today Xavier Nady got a nice surprise when the Yankees general manager Brian Cashman showed up at Citi Field before the Cubs, Nady’s current team, ...

Good evening Bronx Baseball Daily readers. Some of you might have noticed our lack of updates this morning. First, we didn’t have a game recap because the Yankees' West Coast trip is hard to stay awake for and, in an effort to stay up late last night, I accidentally caused myself to sleep in today. Also, we had some server issues this morning and it may have been ...

If it were up to me, the baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown would be filled with nothing but Yankees, but fortunately for everyone else, the process is mostly fair. Two players who have been longtime borderline candidates on the outside looking in, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte, seem to be getting closer to enshrinement these days as they continue to be dominant even as other players their age are fading ...

The Yankees have been doing so well lately, but no matter how good they play there is still going to be a small faction of fans who are just never going to be happy. It’s sad in a way, especially when these fans have latched on to Javier Vazquez and are looking for blood. The reality of the situation is that Vazquez will settle down and pitch well eventually, but in ...

It has been a while since I last put pictures up of the old Yankee Stadium being torn down, so I thought now was as good a time as any. Especially since they have done so much over the past couple of weeks. I must give a tip of my hat to Sliding Into Home , as Greg has kept his readers much more up to date with these pics ...

It’s good to be a Yankee fan right now.  The Yankees have won all four series they’ve played, coming off a convincing sweep of a talented young Rangers team.  Their other series wins were against arguably the two other best teams in baseball in the Red Sox and Rays, and against a perennial contender in the Angels. The question now is: How long can they keep this up?  Clearly, there will ...

According to George King of the NY Post, even though it is not yet official, the Yankees are expected to visit the White House on their off-day a week from today. They will be honored for winning last year’s World Series by Barack Obama. Here’s more from King: It hasn’t been made official but the Yankees will spend part of their day off a week from today at the White ...

By now, most of you have probably seen the video of younger Ariel Antigua and his extraordinary baseball talent. In case you haven’t, I’ve attached it to the post. The five year-old Lyndhurst boy can hit 85 MPH fastballs from both side of the plate and field like someone three times his age. Normally I’m not a fan of parents forcing their children to play sports, but it looks as ...

As expected, the Yankees have put relief pitcher Chan Ho Park on the 15-day disabled list after he pulled his right hamstring warming up in the bullpen yesterday. Taking his place on the roster is left-handed pitcher Boone Logan. Park has already begun to establish himself as an important member of the Yankees' bullpen this season. Although a bout of diarrhea caused him to struggle in his first appearance, Park has ...
