I've been a Boone defender for years, but enough is enough. True the manager cant control hitting but the team is so undisciplined, careless errors, brain dead base running & lackadaisical fielding year in and out. Cashman has been living off the success of the team that Stick Michael & Bob Watson left for him.
But I've seen a lot more NYY Championships so maybe the Rams I enjoy more.The kicker is it's the warmest jacket I've ever had, bar none, and I've had a lot. So I look at that and think, still accurate, so I can still wear it......except I'm no longer in the Northeast and down here I might wear it once or twice.
I would be interested if you're serious. My boss - who is also one of my best friends - is a lifer Yankee fan - tattoo and all. He and his son were at the blow out game against Boston in the wild card round. Just sayin' - they'd end up in good hands.
I wasn't serious about selling them. But if I ever change my mind.......
I had the same one (on the bottom) "Teammates"....Ruth/Gehrig, Mantle/Maris, Jeter/Rivera?
That's years and years of being a fan and a lot of people knowing it. The first piece of memorabilia I got was a gift when my sister and my best friend went half-sies on it. It's was "Yankee Captains" with pictures of all of them in a framed pinstripe background. After that I was off and running. I bought the perfect games item for $800 about 15 years ago. It now lists for $2250, not that it matters. That, the autographed photo of Berra leaping into Larsen's arms (from my oldest daughter for Fathers Day) and the 27 ticket stubs are my favorites. When we relocated to South Florida, I gave all my kids some of my collection. They'll get the rest in due time.
I had a nice collection of baseball cards from the 80's and early 90's but I gave them to my only granddaughter. I had rookie cards for Bernie Williams, Tom Glavine and "prospect" cards for Mike Mussina and Chipper Jones. She's been collecting since. I recently bought a 1967 Yankee Yearbook. Not that it's worth anything but I remembered it from my youth. At first glance it looks like a sketch of a hitter but it's made up of names of Yankee players and coaches, current and former. Really cool.
Considering the age of their core, yeah, its not likely they win in the next year or two. But knowing how the front office operates, I think it'll happen again within the next decade. The immediate concern is whether or not there will be a season next year.
I still have a full head of hair! It's all gray but.it's been like that since I got married.
Gary Sanchez and Jake Bauer have a World Series ring and Aaron Judge doesnt
