LOL. Since the day you were born...... that's amazing....... it's very rare for a baby to watch baseball .
The 96' Yankees were probably my favorite overall, but players I grew up watching like Gator, Catfish, Willie Randolph, Reggie and Graig Nettles will always be on my all-time Yankees team.

Lynn, Evans and Rice were a great OF. Rice deserves to be in the HOF. No Boggs?? Tiant threw out the 1st pitch tonight.

KB those are some of the grittiest best Yankees of all time. Did you read the Brox Zoo book by Sparky Lyle? It was fantastic

Do not forget Ed Figueora ( I just loved his name )

As a Dodger fan my lasting Yanks Dodger memories are when Welch struck out Jackson in 78 and he got pissed and then hit a bomb off of him later in the series.

Also in 81 when The Dodgers finally beat the Yanks and Cey got hit in the head by Gossage, that was scary

great memories KB

It is a personal thing, I hate selfish players who only care about stats.

he was good though.

No Teddy Ballgame?

[Medford Bronco]

No Teddy Ballgame?

Teddy Ballgame is the greatest hitter of all time IMHO. However I tried to list players I saw play either live or on TV. That is why all players played since 1978 or current and I saw them.

Cey getting hit was one of the scariest baseball moments I've ever seen.
The Bronx Zoo is my favorite baseball book. LOL. I'm ever thankful that the red sox traded Lyle to the Yankees for Danny Carter.

Welch/Reggie was a great matchup. I left off a lot of favorites...... starting with Munson (RIP) ...... Chris Chambliss and Mickey Rivers were great, too, as were Lyle and Goose. We can't leave out RSN favorite Bucky "#&*^%@&" Dent, can we??

Then the role players...... Lou Piniella, Oscar Gamble and his 3 foot tall fro...... the late 70's were great.

Theres a cool site that sells some wicked Sox gear: http://www.chowdaheadz.com/index.html

Theres a red shirt that says BOSTON in the Red Sox font on the front and in the back as either "TEK 33" "TROT 7" "MANNY 24" or "COCO 10". I already have a Manny jersey that I dropped some ketchup on (from my damn good Fenway Frank) and it wont come out, and I feel foolish wearing it with that stain on it obviously. So I'm wondering wether I should get the Manny or the Coco one.

I'm going to a White Sox-Red Sox game in Chicago in July and I wanna wear whichever one I get to that game of course, but I'm afraid Coco or Manny might be in a slump when we travel there and it'd kinda suck. Which should I get? And I don't want any sarcastic posts from Yankee fans...in fact, might be better if the Yankee fans don't post.

This Yankee fan will post................ I'd think Manny or Varitek would be the best choice. Manny rarely slumps............

KB is a level headed Yankee fan which is cool.

I would pick Coco as I am not a real Manny fan as he although is a great hitter, loses focus and aggravates me sometimes. BTW i hate "Manny being Manny" quote

If i half-a$sed my job at work I would be fired so fast they would say its "John being John on the unemployment line )

Good points about Manny. The "Manny being Manny" stuff is ridiculous.

Yea, the first time I saw it it was funny, and then the jokes about it were ok, but now its kinda tired.
