Cherised??? Reggie??? Huh??? Right up there with Winfield, I suppose.
=========

If you think about it, from the way he left town to having his # retired in Monument Park, it’s not that much of a stretch

One last thought, A-Rod is struggling, mightily, right now, but he’ll still be a factor for the good for the next 5 years. Players do have bad seasons…you can look it up.

Cherised??? Reggie??? Huh??? Right up there with Winfield, I suppose. Sometimes I struggle with the concept of who is, and is not, a “real” Yankee. At other times, like with these two, it’s a pretty easy and clear call. With Reggie, I like’d the dingers and RBI’s (hated his dogging ways in the field (where he couldn’t carry even an aged Paul Blair’s shoes), but cherised, never.

He was the highest paid played in baseball. He was booed at home and one the road. One of his quotes ” If I lead the league in homers and runs batted in and win the MVP award and we win the World Series, they’ll say he should have done that, look what they are paying him”. “If I don’t do it it will be my fault”

He is now one of the most cherished Yankees.

It’s all one big cycle

So far these past few days, Alex has consulted with John Wooden and Reggie Jackson. Maybe he should sojourn to Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne and commune with Babe Ruth.

Festus, I’m right there with you. That Barney Miller theme song is tops.

I always thought the best baseline in the history of popular music is the opening to the theme song for “Barney Miller,” http://tinyurl.com/8c5vc, but maybe that’s just me.

I’m sure that A-Rod’s camp doesn’t mind the Pavano news today.

Thank goodness for Pavano, only 4 of your last 7 threads have been about Arod.

A-Rod thinks way too much when he’s in the batter’s box. You can’t think about hitting a 95 mph fastball, you just have to react to it.

It’s easier said than done, but he just needs to shut off his brain and let his instincts take over.
