Twelve years, two meaningful Yankees.

Weber, in case you've forgotten, was a journeyman minor leaguer who signed to compete for the fifth OF spot. He led the Yaankees in spring training with a .483 batting average, but got clipped at the final cuts, in favor of Marcus Thames. He went to Scranton and disappeared.

This has to be an April Fool's joke. Johnny Barbato? Barbato?

" Now pitching for the Yankees, number 112, Johnny Barbato...... Number 112. "

Good friggin' luck.
