Since it's the off-season and we're currently in the Snuggie League, I hope the Yankiverse will appreciate a tribute to one of the giants of the game. I won't say they don't make em like Sparky anymore, but they are harder and harder to find. Posted today on Bardball:
The snowy hair
The doleful stare
The mangled speech
The subtle preach
The dubious start
The gentle heart
The hook that stings
Three Series rings
The postgame pipe
The misplaced hype
Shaggy dog stories
Humble glories
A light gone dark
We’ll miss you, Spark
